Social Networking Module
Social Networking for iMIS is an on-demand
community-building platform. The platform features the latest online
networking and communication tools, such as Blogs, Shared Libraries,
Profiles, Forums, Tagging and Tag clouds, Groups,
and Listservs.
With these social networking tools, organizations can build vibrant
online communities that capitalize on relationships of members, donors,
and other constituents. These communities can unleash the untapped
potential of
your organization, allowing your constituents to form valuable
relationships, further their careers, and tap the collective wisdom of
others in their field.
Social Networking Features include:
Increase Membership with Social Media
- Become even more essential to the careers of your members,
donors, and other constituents.
- Take advantage of viral marketing - social networking encourages
"reaching out" online to new connections.
- Increase acquisition rates by opening part of your "gated community"
and giving potential constituents a glimpse into the collective power of
your organization.
- Recruit the next generation; they already use (and expect) Web 2.0
social networking tools.
Make Your Organization Habit Forming
- Engage constituents 24 x 7 with a vibrant online community;
don't force them to go elsewhere to connect.
- Create stars out of your most valuable constituents with blogs,
allowing them to express their ideas and get the recognition of their
peers.
- Encourage constituents to connect using Profiles like the ones on
Facebook, allowing them to share valuable information and contact
details within a trusted network.
- Allow constituents to tap into the collective wisdom of your
organization with Groups, Forums, Wikis, and Libraries.
Support your Annual Conference Online
- Boost registration numbers by letting your constituents
market the conference for you by viral marketing; ensure they will
attend by building the buzz in Forums and Groups.
- Start the networking online before the conference even starts, and
keep going online, long after it ends.
- Improve conference content by observing what constituents are
talking about online throughout the year.
Gain Insight into Constituents Interests in a Way Never Before
Possible
- Give your constituents easy-to-use tools to share feedback
and ideas with your staff and committees.
- Support your power users so they feel invested in contributing more
to your organization.
- Find out more about the interests and concerns of your constituents'
by observing the themes of their postings and watching what kinds of
Groups they form.
