Did you know that good communication is one of the most important aspects of a successful HOA? From annual announcements to weekly newsletter updates to a bulletin board of your favorite community events, communication within your HOA is essential and must be done right. As the leading force of your homeowners’ association, it can feel overwhelming to consider changing your processes, but the benefits of streamlining your communication with your HOA members will be tenfold.
Luckily, you don’t have to take on improving your HOAs’ communication alone. There are countless tools that will help you create a customizable strategy, handle all communications smoothly, and so much more.
So, do you want to improve your HOAs communication? Let’s take a look at the best tools to get you started.
A Website
We live in a digital age, and a website is the digital key to reaching new audiences, your current sphere of influence, and even past connections. Creating a strong internet presence doesn’t have to be difficult or overwhelmingly expensive. In fact, a basic website design that focuses primarily on delivering the most important information can be wildly beneficial to your business. So, don’t wait to get started!
For more widespread HOAs, a website can include member portals, booking amenities, feedback sections, and more.
An Email Service
While social media and more mainstream forms of communication have taken over the digital world, email remains the most preferred communication method among all ages. How are you utilizing email to benefit your HOA?
With fairly minimal startup costs, ease of access, and flexibility, email services are the simplest and most effective way to communicate with your HOA community. If you haven’t started utilizing email as a primary source of communication, collect emails in your next HOA meeting!
Email Newsletters
An email newsletter is one of the best ways to stay in contact with your HOA community and potential new connections. Newsletters allow you to send out key notices and information to your members regularly while keeping your business and brand at the top of your members’ minds, continuing to strengthen your community and relationships.
Social Media
Social media platforms can serve two great purposes for your HOA – building an online community where you can share key information and events with your members and fostering an HOA community where members can share information with each other. The first role of social media in HOA communication can be instrumental when marketing your HOA, but remember that social media is a public forum! Don’t share sensitive information, and set proper regulations for your community. The second role of social media in HOA communication is perhaps the more beneficial of the two. Excellent HOA communication doesn’t only apply to the HOA and its members. It’s also valuable for fostering a friendly community of members who communicate with each other. Social media is a perfect way to help your community bond!
