Onboarding to Activation: Hook New Members Early, Reel Them in for a Lifetime

In this panel discussion-style webinar, a group of membership professionals from both trade organizations and professional societies, will discuss what has worked, what hasn’t worked, tactics to finding the hook to get new members engaged, how the onboarding to activation cycle has changed since COVID-19 and what the cycle might look like post-pandemic.  

Onboarding new members is a vital part of the membership lifecycle. It sets the tone for member engagement, member retention and ultimately for member recruitment as word-of-mouth recruiting can be very rewarding. But what works? Tactics vary from new member welcome email campaigns to site visits and in many cases, budget and resources drive your onboarding capabilities and tactics.

Webinar Objectives:

1. Understand the similarities and differences in membership onboarding tactics between trade organizations and professional societies
2. Learn to identify the how and what that get new members engaged
3. Recognize how onboarding has changed since COVID-19 and what it might look like post-pandemic
