Elevating Engagement
JANUARY 20, 2023
I loooooove chicken or egg conundrums, but before we get into the juicy philosophical debate, let’s set the stage. Two elements comprise member engagement. Members engage when there is value for them and when they have great experiences with or because of the association.

Employee recognition has often been deemed a "feel-good" initiative, tied closely to rewards. While we understand its importance, we tend to associate recognition with intangible outcomes like engagement and sentiment, rather than direct impacts on retention and high performance.

Whether you’re a new association or you’ve been around for decades, at some point you’ll have to bring up the touchy topic: membership dues. It’s not an easy subject, but a necessary one. If dues are too low, you can’t provide the products and services you’ve promised. Too high, and you won’t gain or retain members. So, how do you find that Goldilocks “just right” balance?

How can you tell good marketing from bad marketing? Simple. It doesn’t feel like marketing.
