  • Member Forums: Create spaces for members to discuss industry topics and best practices. 
  • News Feed: Give members personalized updates about your association and their field.

Boost Association Revenue & Relationships

Maintaining relationships with members and other key stakeholders (like sponsors) is critical for your association to thrive, as is bringing in revenue from a variety of sources. Clowder helps you do both and track your progress so you can continually improve in these areas.

  • Sponsorship Management: Track touchpoints and provide brand exposure via sponsored content and pre-event exhibitor promotion.
  • In-App Advertising: Get sponsors’ products in front of members with banner campaigns and splash screens.
  • Membership Tracking: Quickly remind members about renewals and suggest engagement opportunities based on their past activity.

As the #1 engagement solution for professional communities, Clowder offers native apps for both iOS and Android. Think of Clowder as your association’s private social network, allowing for year-round mobile member engagement through an intuitive, user-friendly platform.

  • Customizable User Experience: Configure your app to your members’ preferences and incorporate your association’s logo, colors, fonts, and other brand elements throughout the interface, all with no coding required. If you have any questions, our dedicated customer support team is here to help!
  • Command Center: The backend administrative aspect of your app allows for full content and user management, as well as easy access to analytics. If your association has multiple chapters or subgroups you want to reach with unique messages, we’ve got you covered there, too.
  • Top-of-the-Line Integrations: From its inception, Clowder has embraced an integration-first approach. You can integrate your app with more than 200 CRMs, AMS, job boards, website builders, and other popular solutions for seamless data transfer and management.

What Clowder Users Are Saying

Don’t just take our word for it—here is what real associations have to say about Clowder’s mobile member engagement platform!

Deputy Executive Director, American Baseball Coaches Association
“Clowder has completely changed how our members engage with ABCA. By putting everything in their hands via the app, we’ve seen higher retention, more frequent use of our resources, and an easier way for members to stay connected. The app’s real-time notifications and easy access to content have been a game changer for us.”
Kerri L. McGovernMPP, CAE, Senior Director of Membership, Association of Corporate Counsel
“We chose Clowder because they had existing integrations with our core systems, but also because Clowder is an innovative and agile team that is dedicated to enabling ACC to maximize the experience for our members.”
Megan CottrellDirector of Digital Strategy, Commercial Real Estate Women (CREW) Network
“Tipping points for Clowder [included] the app’s native design, their experience with NetForum and Higher Logic integrations, their transparency during demos, and their company’s culture.”
Albert PlochCFO, Texas Automobile Dealers Association
“Most of the apps we’ve had in the past revolved solely around events. TADA needed an app that was relevant all year long, easy to manage, and available at a cost-effective price. Clowder checked all the boxes.”
