Gaining and retaining members who are truly involved in the organization is essential to your sustainability because they are the sole reason your membership website exists. Although creating a vibrant online community is becoming more and more crucial, it is only a small portion of your membership site’s engagement equation. These three strategies will help you increase user engagement.
Using Your Website
The information and insight that your members are paying you for can be found on your website. They can use it to manage their membership profile, renew their memberships, register for events, and engage in your online community. To make sure you are giving your members real value, you want to figure out how to foster relationships and motivate them to do something with each and every website visit.
Facilitate Two-Way Communication via Virtual Communities
Offering new, helpful information that is geared toward your members is the first step towards engaging members on your website. You will need to enable two-way interactions and notify them of new content in order to keep them interested and involved. By integrating information in other channels, such as your newsletter or any other publications you produce and distribute to your subscribers, you can keep them updated on new content.
Additionally, you must establish avenues for members to contact with you and your leadership team in order to facilitate two-way communication. Online forums, online surveys, and different social media platforms can all be used for this.
Engage Members Through Social Media
Your members’ online activity, including website visits, page views, and social media mentions, is generally referred to as their level of engagement. Participation on social media is only one aspect of engagement, but it is now more important than ever to facilitate and encourage two-way social media interaction with members. Your specific objectives must guide the development of your social media strategy. Videos and photos are now important online social currency that help you attract more visitors to your website so you can interact with them and show them how valuable it is.
Once you’ve developed the framework and establish processes for discovering and further producing fresh material for your site, you can build on this foundation over time to keep your existing members and attract new members to your site.
