Our AAF Club membership is all about engagement – every email or phone call with questions, every complaint, every voicemail, email or message… is engagement. Each time we ask a member to become active in any way – small or large… is engagement. Every person invited to an AdBites luncheon, or a 6 in 60 event, or OAX trade show is engagement. So it stands to reason that the more engagement, the more satisfied members, and the more members feel engaged, the more members of AAF and renewals are a given. These are our ultimate goals.
