Your Ideas Matter More Than You Think

By: Kate Behrendt | Product Owner

If you’ve ever wondered whether submitting an idea in our Aha ideas portal actually makes a difference, I want to reassure you that it does. In fact, MACC|One alone already has 81 customer ideas delivered, and that number keeps climbing. Those wins started as someone taking a moment to speak up.

I know it can feel like ideas disappear. We hear that, and we’re working to make the portal a more active, transparent place. You’ll start to see more interaction and updates from our team so you have a clearer picture of what’s happening behind the scenes.

Here’s the honest part. Not every idea will be a home run. Some will need more refinement. Some might not fit today’s roadmap. And some will spark conversations we didn’t know we needed to have. That’s the real value. If you don’t submit the idea, we miss the chance to understand what you’re facing or see if other customers share the same need.

So keep the ideas coming. Big ideas, small ideas, even the ones you’re not totally sure about. You never know which one will become the next feature we deliver. And together, we’ll continue shaping MACC’s products into a system that works better for everyone.

MACC Amplify is Coming in January

By: Amanda Song | Marketing Director

We’re excited to share that a new newsletter, MACC Amplify, launches mid-January. Each edition will include tips, tricks, and helpful apps you can use to market your services on a budget. And it’ll land in your inbox twice a month.

This will be different from MACC’s eMessage updates. Here’s what you can expect from Amplify:

• Spotlight Stories from fellow providers

• Practical how-to guides for simple, effective marketing

• Quick Wins you can put to use right away

• MACC Extras — news, events, tools, or even the occasional recipe

And you won’t want to miss the first edition, which walks through how to build a clear, doable marketing plan for 2026. This is perfect if you’re looking to get more organized next year.

We’re also looking for stories to feature!! If your team is doing something exciting, such as a community project, a creative marketing idea, or anything other providers could learn from, we’d love to highlight it and talk to you about it.

If you’re interested in being featured, reach out to Amanda at asong@maccnet.com.
