Build a vibrant online community to keep your members coming back

A branded online community touches your membership every day

You need to stand out as a key resource for your members. Their attention, their participation, and their renewal all hinge on positioning your Association as  indispensable.

You need seamless. You need support. You need a team ready to further your Association’s goals.

The challenge: Your members’ attention has never been more divided, and information has never been more fragmented. You don’t have enough data on your members’ needs, wants, and goals, and strategizing in a rapidly changing landscape is tougher than ever.

The solution? Sengii’s Connect Online Community

Your Association has a chance to stand out as a thought leader, as an authority, and as a valuable career-boosting tool. Connect sets you up to be that leader, and to deliver that value to your members.

As you deliver meaningful membership value, you also add to your capabilities as an Association through gathering information you need on your members’ realities. Inform your Association’s strategy and direction with meaningful membership data delivered right to your AMS/CRM.

Grab members’ attention with a space to connect and engage

Connect’s proprietary, customized online community positions your Association to become THE spot for conversations, networking and resource sharing. Reach your members, and help them connect with each other, all in one place.

Replace external platforms by giving your members a professional space to meet and collaborate

Connect has built-in instant messaging, collaborative document editing, an events calendar, and video conferencing software. It positions your Association as indispensable, giving your members a secure, professional space to collaborate without having to turn to (or pay for) external platforms.

Gather crucial data to better serve your membership.

Data is everything, and analytics on external social platforms only give you a brief, limited view of your membership. With Connect, you can collect and analyze the data you need to truly understand your members, to provide tailored benefits, and keep your members coming back year after year.

Even better? Your data is YOURS. It’s not being skimmed by advertisers, it’s not being collected by third parties, it’s not being sold to external companies. Sengii Connect provides unparalleled data security, where your Association has complete ownership of your members’ data.
