The year was 2000. Millennials and generation Y just feel they don’t belong. The startup that launched in 1998 had outgrown the garage, relocating to a nondescript building in an office park a couple of miles off the highway. Outside that building, on an asphalt parking lot, yellow police tape marked off an area where. The post Why is disengagement happening at associations? appeared first on YourMembership.

4 Elements of a High-Engagement Association Website

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.

The survey was completed by over 2000 marketing professionals. It was interesting to see the latest results of the Chartered Institute’s Social Media Benchmarking survey recently. It is cross-sector, so it takes into account the views of private sector organisations which typically have larger budgets/teams than non-profit organisations. 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.
Is Your Sales Commission Plan Working Against You?

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.

I remember watching great UT football teams in the 1970′s and again in the 2000′s. My brother-in-law graduated from the University of Texas. I’ve often thought fondly of UT. My oldest son has been a HUGE UT fan since he was very young. One wall of his room is painted burnt orange and the skull of a Texas Longhorn hangs on it.

But here’s an interesting case study: Between 1995 and 2000, the number of independent bookstores in America, unsurprisingly, plummeted. Technology is constantly changing how we live our lives. We can order products online and expect them on our doorstep no more than two days later. We can purchase and pick up groceries without ever having to go in a store. We can order a rideshare service and visibly see how far away the vehicle is from our location. Pretty remarkable stuff.

There is a famous study from 2000 that found that choice can actually paralyze the consumer, or in our case, a member. The question of how to get the best out of a database has been plaguing associations for years. We see some organizations treating their data like precious storage, while others see it more as a playground. . I think your database is like your garage. You wouldn’t want everything just thrown in there haphazardly that it makes it too difficult to find what you need later.
