DNN is a secure website platform, but no CMS stays secure without regular updates. A cautionary tale and what you can do to protect your website from being hacked.

In January 2020, Engage acquired SMB Creative Group, a digital marketing firm that helps small to mid-market organizations grow through online initiatives, website development, and support services. Fast-forward just shy of one year, and a new division has evolved from the marriage of the two skill sets: Engage Digital Services.

Associations everywhere have suddenly found themselves struggling to pivot their plans for their in-person, live events into digital experiences on platforms like Zoom.

We are thankful that we have the resources and the technology to do our work remotely and that our clients will not be affected.  All projects will continue as planned.

Engage is excited to announce that we have acquired SMB Creative Group and its Connecting Members platform. Additionally SMB Creative’s entire team will join the team at Engage. Welcome SMB Creative Group to the Engage Software family!

With our work with associations, we have honed in on and become experts as to what makes a visually-appealing, user-friendly association website. Part of becoming experts means teaming up with other experts to bring you our shared knowledge.  This is why we created the Association Best Practices webinar series.  Our first series launched in 2017 and we have just launched the next round for 2019 and going into 2020. We hope you can join us for these free, educational opportunities.

Engage is honored with a Top Website Developers badge by Clutch.co for 2019. This recognition means a lot to the software developers at Engage since it shows off their hardwork and expertise in the .Net development realm.

Engage AMS continues to improve with releases 7.13, 7.14, and 7.1. The system can now check for duplicate memberships, auto-approve applications, support one person holding multiple membership types, and allow for company-based memberships instead of only individual memberships.

Want to attract more members? Associations should take a cue from the consumer world and adapt their membership to a “made-to-order” model.

Engage Software commemorates 20 years of growth, innovation and leadership.

YAY! You just got a new member! Hopefully, she’ll acclimate and find her place and stay with you forever.

Wes Trochlil, president of association consulting firm, Effective Data Management, shares that data is an essential asset for any association. It’s what drives member engagement, increases member retention, creates additional revenue, and enhances marketing efforts. He notes that most associations are doing a better job than they think they are at managing data; however, there is always room for improvement.
