Frequently asked questions

Associations need more than a basic CMS to manage websites effectively. A digital experience platform (DXP) like Xperience by Kentico combines content management, personalization, and event management in one hub. This shift matters because only 51% of associations rate their value proposition as compelling, and those with stronger digital platforms are more likely to grow membership and renewals. (msae.org)
Engagement improves when members receive relevant, timely communication. Many associations still struggle with generic outreach that leads to disengagement. Kentico enables tailored messaging, personalized event promotion, and self-service portals. This is crucial since 47% of associations say lack of engagement is a leading cause of non-renewals. (blog.imis.com)
Essential features include secure member portals, event registration, analytics, personalization, and multi-site management. Bringing these capabilities together on one platform reduces martech complexity and improves efficiency, giving associations the tools to deliver consistent and engaging experiences.
Retention requires consistent communication and a strong sense of community. Associations that fail to provide personalized experiences or opportunities to connect risk losing members. Benchmarking shows that 32% of associations increased retention rates in 2025, while 43% held them steady. (blog.imis.com) Kentico helps by enabling automated renewals, exclusive content, and digital communities that build loyalty. The Ontario Veterinary Medical Association, for example, reported a 31% increase in event registrations after adopting Kentico. 
Yes. Associations often rely on AMS, CRMs, or event management tools. Kentico’s flexible architecture supports integration with these systems, allowing for seamless event registration and membership management. This ensures members can access everything from one digital hub without friction.
Common ROI measures include renewal rates, event registrations, engagement with digital content, and revenue growth. The Ontario Veterinary Medical Association’s 31% growth in event registrations is one example of measurable impact. More broadly, 75% of associations either increased or maintained retention rates year over year, showing how digital investments tie to organizational outcomes. (blog.imis.com)
Automation reduces manual tasks like reminders, renewals, and event promotions. Kentico’s automation engine lets non-technical staff build workflows that save time and improve outreach. This is especially important for associations with small teams, where efficiency directly impacts member satisfaction.
Yes. Members expect relevant, consumer-grade experiences online. Associations that fail to personalize risk irrelevance. In fact, associations that create content tailored to segments score 40 points higher in marketing maturity. (info.mightycitizen.com) Kentico supports personalization at scale, delivering targeted events, resources, and calls-to-action that improve satisfaction and retention.
Security is critical for associations handling sensitive member data. Kentico provides enterprise-grade protection with ISO 27001 and SOC 2 certification, along with GDPR compliance tools. This ensures associations can build trust while protecting member information.
A CMS can handle publishing, but most associations need more. A DXP unifies content, events, marketing, and analytics in one place. This prevents the fragmented, siloed digital experiences that drive members away. Kentico’s DXP allows associations to move from simply managing content to creating complete digital ecosystems that scale with their members’ needs.
Associations can use AI to optimize content, campaigns, and member journeys without adding staff. Kentico's AIRA Agentic Marketing Suite reviews pages for both traditional search and AI-driven discovery, analyzes member journeys to spot friction points, and delivers instant recommendations to fix them. AIRA also helps teams create structured campaign briefs, track campaign performance, and apply what works to future campaigns. Its Content Strategist agent keeps every page aligned with your brand's voice and messaging, so even small association teams can produce more content while keeping it consistent and on brand. 
Associations can improve visibility in AI search by structuring content so AI tools can easily read, understand, and cite it. As more people turn to tools like ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews for answers, content that isn't optimized for AI discovery risks being overlooked. Kentico's AIRA Agentic Marketing Suite reviews any page on demand and delivers actionable recommendations based on both SEO best practices and AI readability standards. It also identifies optimization gaps across your entire site, helping associations rank higher and reach more prospective members.
