The year was 2000. Millennials and generation Y just feel they don’t belong.

4 Elements of a High-Engagement Association Website
Socious
OCTOBER 20, 2015
In the grand scheme of the digital age, thank goodness the 90’s and early 2000’s are behind us. Don’t get me wrong, we wouldn’t be where we are today without GeoCities, America Online, and MySpace. However, I’m very glad that we have moved away from the notion that every organization needs a website, just to have a website. Today, your website is your number one marketing asset. It’s the first place people look to learn about your organization and take advantage of all that you offer.

It seems like only yesterday we were worried about what would happen when the computers hit the year 2000. Now it’s nearly 2017 and a lot has changed. Just think about technology. I was watching a movie from 2001 recently and one of the main characters had a laptop. They said the word “laptop” with the same reverence of someone talking about the “goose that laid the golden egg.” In 2001, a laptop was a prized possession.

Yet there is still a sense that everybody is learning and hoping to improve their use of social media. See the inforgraphic from the survey below.

When asked what the rate was for an online ad, she indicated that it was $2000. Then I asked her to do the math: 20% of $8000 = $1600; 20% of $2000 = $400. And isn’t the association better off keeping 50% of $2000 rather than 80% of $0? Some radical recalculations could speed you towards your revenue goals. I was recently speaking with an association publisher who told me that she was considering replacing the advertising representative firm she had been using with another.
