More and more organizations are beginning to revamp their communications programs with enterprise mobile apps. These custom apps allow companies to communicate directly with their employees, customers, and other stakeholders. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Managers—or NAREIM, for short—did a fantastic job creating an interactive digital newsletter that was privately distributed to members on their iPads.
The newsletter features jump links throughout the app, making it very easy for members to quickly find all the content they are looking for. By creating this digital publication using the mag+ platform, the designers for NAREIM were able to easily update each new issue of the app to be published every quarter. Users were instantly alerted that a new issue is available through push notifications delivered directly to their iPads.
What’s so great about this app is that it really increases the level of engagement that members have with the association, allowing members to be aware of events and news at NAREIM. Traditional paper newsletters often get thrown away or lost, but with a library of issues, members can always access their content wherever they carry their iPads. Push notifications act as a great reminder for members who might otherwise forget to look at traditional newsletters. By publishing its quarterly newsletter digitally, NAREIM is able to more efficiently and effectively communicate with its members on a regular basis.
