Discovering potential members, getting them to join and keeping them: it's what member-based associations do! PropFuel client, Missouri State Teachers Association, is rocking it. They're using PropFuel as a central piece of their technology stack, from generating potential member leads to winning back lapsed members.

At PropFuel, we're all about helping associations connect more personally with members and future members. Here are a few quick tips on how to do it!

Thinking back on my decade plus of association marketing experience, it's clear to me the instances when I felt most impactful as a marketer. I was most connected when I communicated directly with members, whether it was at an in-person conference, on a webinar or on the phone. But our team wasn't always doing a good job of listening.

Today, my partner, Cameron and I are building another software company called PropFuel, and not only do I love the product, but I also love our clients, and I really love working with our team. There are 4 of us here. Bri runs marketing. Ryan sells. Cam makes the software work. And I get to play with our clients. But, Ryan is selling a lot and we're growing quite fast now. I need some help.

One PropFuel client conducted a 3-month experiment to determine which method of post-trial communications would result in more new member conversions: their existing email technology or PropFuel. Which campaign resulted in higher membership conversions?

Satisfaction data can be gathered not only for the association to get big picture views and make decisions from them. Using PropFuel, satisfaction can be captured by associations to hear the Voice of the Member – unique feedback from each individual – and then act on it. A survey is limited in these individual listening and action-based steps.
