In this installment of our blog series, 6 Proven Ways Associations Improved Member Engagement, we explore the different communications tactics used by associations successfully engaging their members. Some of the tactics are simple to employ right away, others may require some strategic planning, while a few may need to be included in next year’s budget. Regardless, associations know that member engagement is key to retention, which (should) allow more time for association new-member recruitment. All of which equals association growth.
How they did it:
- Improved communication of activities and upcoming association events
- Employee(s) dedicated to marketing and communications
- Communications tailored to engage specific groups
- Implemented digital tools to streamline communications

- Outsourced public relations
- Consistent communication about member benefits and how to use them
- Regular sharing of content electronically
- Scheduled, direct contact from association staff to members
