I’m tired of receiving emails…With a boring subject line like ‘July Newsletter‘ (Yawn).

This subject line makes it sound like your boss said “Hey Sue, it’s been a month. It’s time for you to write another boring newsletter that no-one even reads”

With long paragraphs that are hard for me to scan or read quickly

Get to the point – your recipients don’t have all day

With information that isn’t relevant or interesting to meIt goes without saying that the content of your newsletter needs to be useful, interesting, educational, entertaining or inspiring. If it’s none of these, then what is it? That’s right – boring.

DIY? “We’re Not There Yet”

“We Need to Crawl, Walk, Run”“No One Has Asked for This Yet”

“I Don’t Know What You’re Talking About”“We Just Got Our Website to Be Responsive & We Only

Redesign Every Three Years”“We Are Hiring a Director of Digital/Innovation/Marketing”

“We Have a Job Position Open for a Web/Email Coordinator”

Why Outsource? You only need 2 things to do interactive marketing well:

1) Right know-how2) Right tools

Page 10: Using Interactive Content to Convert Prospects to Customers

Right Know-HowSocial marketingBuyer personas & journey mappingBehavioral marketingPricing strategy Predictive analyticsVisual information designHuman user interface theory & designContent design & information architectureMarket campaign design & executionAnd on and on…….

Right ToolsSocial media aggregatorsInteractive design platformsGraphic design platformsTaxonomy and content curation toolsMarketing automation platformsAnalytics & business intelligence toolsData validation & verification toolsDigital advertising platforms And on and on…..

Why Outsource? Associations either need to budget & staff for an in-house

creative, marketing & data science agency that they fund for:

Right talentRight know-howRight toolsRight now (multi-million investment)

Or, “lease” the know-how and tools via outsourcing
