Social Media and Member Value: How to Create One with the Other
Presented by:
C. David Gammel, CAEHigh Context Consulting, LLC+1 (410) [email protected]
What is member value?
Improving the capacity of members to act.
Social media is about people participating in media online rather
than simply consuming it.
Social media for association makes it even easier for members to
improve each other’s ability to act.
What are the possibilities?
Simple vs. Elaborate
A blog. Blogs.
Wikis.
Podcasts.
YouTube
Qualitative vs. Quantitative
Member Engagement
Awareness.
Being present online.
Increased organizational knowledge.
More site visitors.
More page views.
More links.
Better Google placement.
Increased membership.
Increased revenue.
Vision vs. Execution
Association as another way to connect, on a par with other social media sites.
Writing, recording and posting.
Connecting.
Facilitating.
Promoting.
Authentic.
Individual vs. Comparison
What is the association doing?
How does this support our strategy and goals?
What are your members and other constituents doing?
What are your competitors doing?
How present are your issues and organization in the online world?
Change vs. Status Quo
Exciting and interesting!
New and unknown!
Risk!
The world won’t end, quite frankly.
The world won’t know much about you either.
Easy!
Less risky! Maybe?
