Don’t Fear Digital: Why a Digital-First Strategy Is Key to Your Organization’s Success
In today’s media landscape, there’s no denying that digital is dominant. Employing a digital-first strategy can help your organization better reach and impact its members. Since content is consumed much differently now than it used to be, how your organization delivers its content needs to evolve alongside this change to remain relevant.

Give your members what they want – where they want and how they want it.

Your members are used to having everything at their fingertips: They hold immediate access to a wealth of information and can communicate with virtually anyone. To them, anything worth knowing – anything important enough – should be online or readily available to them through a few clicks. This desire for anytime-anywhere access to content increases the need for mobile-first content delivery.
This is not to say that traditional media isn’t effective. Traditional media can be impactful as well, especially when supporting digital media. But here’s what you need to ask yourself: Are your traditional channel efforts yielding the results you want? Do they successfully target your members? Do they tailor your message to your key demographics the way digital channels would?

Millennials expect more.

Having grown up surrounded by digital media, millennials have been witness to huge tech advancements throughout their lifespan. They are accustomed to constant improvements and expect for things to only get better – that is just status quo. And with this comes high digital expectations. Millennials in particular expect their online experience to be interactive and engaging. Meeting their expectations has become increasingly difficult – and we can only imagine how this will also be the case for Generation Z and subsequent generations. Simply put, digital is such a large part of today’s culture: Concentrating your organization’s efforts in digital first is a smart investment that will yield long-term results.

Have your members' digital journey ready, from A to Z.

Delivering your content online first is only where the fun starts. Your members also seek to use digital means throughout their entire journey (e.g., from a simple sign-up process to submitting confidential forms). This may sound overwhelming, but if you have the right tool in place, it’s actually quite simple. Using a turnkey app system that has all the built-in features you’ll need is the easiest way to effectively communicate with your members and achieve your organization’s goals.

Adapting is the only way to put your organization’s best foot forward.

It all comes down to this: A digital “wow” factor is needed for lasting user engagement. And keeping up with the latest best practices and rising standards can be a full-time job.
