A successful future for your association.
Many professional- and trade associations struggle to remain relevant to their members, resulting in declining membership retention. It’s time for a change.
You too can become a successful, forward-thinking association with growing membership and high member satisfaction. We can help you to become a thriving association where members truly feel engaged—members who consistently experience the value of their membership. Members who support each other under your guidance.
The question is not if associations should take steps toward online communication and community platforms but when.”
Ed de Rochemont, Manager Netwerk at Nevi
The power of the collective.
Connecting members is one of the core tasks of an association. By connecting people, knowledge and experience start to flow. Activate your virtual community with our Yunits platform and create a secure and trusted central online meeting space for your members. Is there a burning question? Another member will provide an answer in no time.
Your members exchange knowledge and help each other progress, irrespective of time and place. Make that knowledge visible and involve your members. This enhances the impact of your association!
Intuitive communication platform.
A modern association cannot do without an intuitive communication platform, a personalized space, and an app. This is how members experience the value and relevance of your association—wherever and whenever they want.
Branded aesthetics
A website or platform in your branding that looks appealing, is intuitively organized, and is extremely user-friendly. Our UX and visual design team creates a custom design for this.
Easy to manage
Managing the website or platform is straightforward. Want to add a page to the website? You don’t need us for that. You can do it yourself with flexible content blocks and templates.
Self-service for members.
Through the personalized member section, members indicate their interests, expertise, and preferences. This way, they see personalized content, ensuring it is well-read.
Newsletters and notifications are fully tailored to their interests and are automatically sent at the frequency they prefer. You don’t have to worry about that. And if you want to highlight a specific message, you can easily set that up.
Members also pay their invoices and update their information. Very simple. For them and for you. The portal is linked to your CRM system, ensuring everything is processed automatically, saving you a lot of emails.
