How often do you unplug? How many social media platforms do you participate in? Are you feeling a bit burnt, overloaded and stretched thin trying to keep up with it all? Yeah? Then, quick, read this short post by Simon Mainwaring at Fast Company: Top 10 Ways to Keep Social Media from Driving You Insane. I like #7, Refresh. Cindy King collected advice from several Social Media Examiner writers in 21 Dangerous Blogging Mistakes (and How to Fix Them).

As business and association leaders we all receive and send hundreds of emails daily. Including junk/spam and legitimate emails, I receive 300 emails daily on average. I send on average 50 emails daily. If it takes av average of 30 seconds for me to review and take action on emails I receive (obviously some take much more time and others take much less) then I spend two and one half hours daily reading and responding to emails.

Last week 30 membership professionals gathered to hear about member research and what it can do for an organisation. I organised the event on behalf of MemberWise , a free resource for those working in the membership field. It was a really buzy night. The first presentation, from Seb Elsworth at ACEVO (where I used to work), the charity CEO membership body, who focused on using research to inform the strategic planning process.

Today is my birthday. Permit me a little self-indulgence here. I’m taking a few days off to reflect, relax and celebrate because it’s a BIG birthday. I’m not unplugging completely, oh no. Twitter and Facebook are fun intellectual and conversational playgrounds for me so I’ll hang out there, maybe more than I usually do. I’ll read, cook, eat, drink, do a little yoga, celebrate with friends and prepare for hurricane Irene’s visit.

Every membership body should have the members at the heart of everything they do, but sometimes they don’t always “use” them. And I mean use in the best possible way! It does take resource to organise, but offering an interview, blog entry or story from a member is a great way to remind the rest of the membership they are part of an exclusive club.

Events hold the power to create lasting impressions and meaningful connections. They are not only occasions for celebration but also valuable marketing opportunities. Event marketing has become an essential component of successful business strategies, enabling organizations to engage with their target audience and create memorable experiences. However, behind every successful event lies a well-thought-out marketing strategy.

What’s the old saying? For every three people who praise your business, ten others complain about you? That may be hogwash, but I know from experience that the last thing a business owner wants is someone running their mouth off about a bad customer service experience, especially if we were never given the chance to make it right. Social media gives us a platform to b h about the ways we’ve been done wrong, and that negative buzz spreads quickly.

Who was my audience? How often would I post? So many questions and hardly any answers. Yet, I created an account on WordPress and started spouting. If you told me last year everything that would come to pass as a result of this blog, you would’ve scared me right out of the blogging business. .

Across the nonprofit sector, organizations invest heavily in donor retention efforts, yet the struggle of cultivating lasting relationships remains. While attracting new donors is crucial, the lack of repeat donors poses significant financial risks. Through a comprehensive analysis of industry data, experts argue that there is a direct correlation between donor burnout, donor retention, and the talent retention crisis.

St. Louis marked my fourth ASAE annual meeting and I must say, it was one of the best. Here’s what I liked and didn’t like about ASAE11. The Great – Closing General Session Speaker Peter Sheahan. Peter Sheahan was the best keynote speaker I’ve ever heard at ASAE. Why? Because he did two things that speakers in this forum almost never do: He did his homework on his audience and didn’t push a product.
