An audioconference on expanding and enhancing your association's social media programs

Associations understand that social media can play a vital role in growing their membership base, non-dues revenue and “voice.”  But achieving actual results takes more than just having a Facebook page, Twitter account and YouTube video. 

Getting your audience to engage with your social media takes the right mix of channels plus the right content, frequency, and approach for each. The challenge is figuring out what “right” means for your specific association.

Don’t guess!  Here’s how to zero in on what works.

Order the CD recording of Benchmarking Social Media: How Does Your Association Measure Up? In this 90-minute audioconference, you’ll use the results of the 2012 Association Social Media Survey to evaluate where your own social media program stands. Then, you’ll explore association best practices tips you can use right away to build your social media plan — and turn vibrant interaction into bottom-line results.

Step by step, experts on social media and the association community will use the survey’s real-world data to take the guesswork out of how to use media like Twitter, Facebook and YouTube to drive all-new growth for membership, non-dues revenue and advocacy.  


Order the CD now to get the know-how for turning social media into results, including:

  • How your current social media efforts compare to similar or competing associations
  • How your peers are using their Facebook, Twitter and YouTube presence
  • Opportunities you may be missing to boost your visibility and engagement
  • Tips for using social media to reach membership goals
  • How to get the right mix of social media channels for your needs and objectives
  • How to build the right social media plan

No association has an unlimited budget or staff to support social media. That’s why you have to target your resources on channels, content, and opportunities that will show the greatest ROI.
