- There is no silver bullet. No magic wand. No secret formula. In the Kellen research – focus groups revealed – audience targeting is becoming more common among associations – groups reaching younger populations found they preferred more amateur style videos like those taken on a cell phone and were turned off by flashy expensive video work. At the same time, those working with trade associations found that they preferred higher quality video.
- #1 – Know your audience. What concerns them? How can you make their work or professional lives better or easier (think benefits)? How do they like to be communicated with? Are they active or passive communicators?
- You can’t know it works, if you do not measure it.
- Exposure, Influence, Engagement, ActionsRecognize that some audiences are passive and prefer to be that way. It is ok to be passive. Just adjust your metrics to capture them in different ways – focus groups, surveys, questionnaires (are they getting the information they want, in the format they desire)?
- Strategy #3 - Have an integrated approach across the association’s channels. Look at your content as a tree trunk. All of the channels are feeding from that trunk
