Announcement: Bloguru Server Security Update with Downtime (8/28/2024)

Aug

26

We’re happy to announce that we’re upgrading our operating system (OS) for Bloguru's server.

We’re upgrading our OS from Cent OS7 to Alma Linux 8 since there will no longer be technical support for Cent OS7 after June 30, 2024, in a continued effort to strive towards making sure our hosting service is the safest it can be. With this new upgrade, it will help patch any vulnerabilities to defend users against cyber threats and also support new encryption protocols.

However, updating the OS will result in about 10 minutes of downtime. You may not be able to access your Bloguru admin panel as well as your posts during this time, so we thought you should know ahead of time. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

This server upgrade will occur on:

*USA Pacific Daylight Time
- Aug 28th (Wednesday) 7-8am

*Japan Time
- Aug 28th (Wednesday) 11pm-0am

If you have any questions, please contact us at 1-800-232-3989 (preferred) or email us at support@pspinc.com.

We would be happy to answer any of your questions by phone or email.

How to Recruit Members for a Business Association Group

Aug

20

Building a thriving business association group requires a strong membership base, but attracting new members can be challenging. With the right strategies, you can significantly grow your organization and build a strong, engaged association group. Here are some effective tactics to help recruit members for your organization.

Tips on Recruiting Members

1. Offer Incentives

Offering enticing incentives like discounts, free trials, or other perks for new members is one of the most powerful ways to attract new members.

2. Leverage Referrals

Referrals are invaluable to business association groups, so encourage members to bring guests to help grow your organization.

3. Market on Social Media

Social media offers a vast audience for your association. Create engaging content that highlights membership benefits and showcases the value it provides. Social media also provides the opportunity to boost engagement with existing members, fostering a sense of community and encouraging them to share their positive experiences.

4. Ask for Feedback

Ask existing members for feedback and use that feedback to improve your overall organization, which will demonstrate to others your commitment to member satisfaction.

5. Host Networking Events

Networking events like “bring a friend” meetings, free luncheons, or speaker series can attract new members while cultivating relationships with existing members.

6. Partner with Similar Organizations

Partnering with similar organizations will expand your reach and help offer more value in incentives, shared resources, cross-promotional opportunities, and other benefits to both members and organizations.

7. Optimize your Website

Your website often gives potential members a first impression of your business association group, so ensuring it’s user-friendly, informative, and optimized for search engines (SEO) is vital.

By implementing these strategies, recruiting members for your business association group will only be that much easier. If you’re looking to manage your organization better, sign up or request a 30-day free trial for Biznomos, our new business association management system.

With Biznomos, you can:

Manage members: Easily add, update, and track member information.
Organize referrals: Send, receive, and manage all referrals while tracking referral performance.

How to Approach Business Opportunities in a Business Association Group

Aug

6

A business association group is an organization formed to connect, collaborate, and advocate for shared interests. Some cater to specific industries or they can cater to broader business interests. Today, businesses of all kinds join business association groups to network and strategically partner with others to benefit both parties.

How to Identify Business Opportunities

Think of your business association as a place rife with potential. One of the best ways to identify business opportunities involves staying informed of how the industry changes. Especially if you're in an association that is industry-specific to your business. Staying informed on how your industry changes will help you better adapt and seize new opportunities. Interacting with other business professionals at association events won’t just help keep you up to date on how the industry is changing, but also how others are responding to that change.

How to Approach Business Opportunities

After identifying your business opportunities, you can then leverage that knowledge and make them actionable as a business association member. Here’s how:

Active participation and networking: Attending association events, participating in discussions, and building overall relationships with members will be invaluable for referrals and collaboration in the future.
Leverage member expertise: Brainstorming new ideas and tapping into other members’ unique expertise will aid in addressing your business’s specific challenges.
Identify shared challenges: Discussing pain points with fellow members can identify shared challenges and spark innovation.
Explore potential partnerships: Discovering complementary businesses within your organization paves the way for strategic partnerships that will benefit both parties.

Joining a business association group is about more than just membership, it’s about creating a community designed to help everyone succeed. By actively participating and using every resource available, the possibilities are endless. With Biznomos, growing and managing your association group has never been easier or more affordable. Get started by signing up or requesting a no-obligation 30-day free trial.
