Through the 2018 survey, associations have told us they know what they need to do to improve their communications: Understand member needs, goals, demographics and preferences better. Their persistent challenge is to find more technological, financial and human resources to make this happen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What did association professionals reveal about the state of their communications this year?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Two out of three association communicators say members are too busy to engage with their content.<\/li>\n<li>Podcasts, private online communities and association apps are becoming indispensable communication tools. All three tools\u2019 perceived value increased by double digits with podcasts growing in importance by 27 percent.<\/li>\n<li>Associations are shifting their focus to students: The percentage that report customizing member communications for this cohort increased by 14 percentage points (23 percent to 37 percent) from 2017 to 2018.<\/li>\n<li>Customizing communication for member segments overall is becoming more of a widespread challenge: 57 percent of respondents agreed that customizing communications for different member segments is difficult, up from 52 percent one year ago and more than double the 23 percent of communicators who cited this challenge in 2011.<\/li>\n<li>A lack of revenue earned from communication channels is a serious or significant problem for 46 percent of associations.<\/li>\n<li>Nearly half of survey respondents recognize they need help identifying the ideal member communication frequency.<\/li>\n<li>Only 27 percent give themselves a rating of four out of five when asked how well their communications channels were integrated.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8135\" src=\"https:\/\/www.naylor.com\/associationadviser\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/08\/2018-BM-Report-46-percent-revenue-problem.png\" alt=\"46 percent revenue problem\" width=\"445\" height=\"370\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.naylor.com\/associationadviser\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/08\/2018-BM-Report-46-percent-revenue-problem.png 445w, https:\/\/www.naylor.com\/associationadviser\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/08\/2018-BM-Report-46-percent-revenue-problem-300x249.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 445px) 100vw, 445px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When it comes to channels that associations value most for reaching members, traditional conference or events retained the top spot by far for the third year in a row: 90 percent consider events very\/extremely valuable to their overall communication program. Member magazines and email newsletters round out the top three for the third year in a row as well.<\/p>\n<p>Private online communities broke into the top 10 communication channels for the first time since this survey started asking how associations value them. Newer forms of communication, such as podcasts and Instagram, are being used by 40 and 26 percent of respondents, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>However, print is making a huge comeback: 57 percent of respondents told us their printed member newsletters are very\/extremely valuable, followed by 56 percent who said the same of their printed show guides.
