Your Publications Work in Print. Make Them Work Everywhere.

Whether you’re publishing a member magazine, newsletter, annual report, research journal, conference guide, or other recurring publication, every issue is an opportunity to educate members, strengthen your community, demonstrate the value of membership, and extend the reach of the work your organization already produces.

Publi helps associations turn existing print and PDF workflows into stronger digital publishing experiences — without asking communications teams to abandon the processes, design standards, or formats that already work.

Keep Print Working. Make Digital Worth Reading.

Most associations are not trying to eliminate print.

They are trying to make every publishing dollar go further.

Rising print and mailing costs, changing member expectations, increasing accessibility requirements, growing pressure to demonstrate sponsor value, and limited communications resources are pushing more organizations to rethink how publications are delivered.

USPS Marketing Mail and Periodicals rates have climbed nearly every year since 2021, with increases regularly outpacing inflation. Postage alone is now a moving target line item in most publishing budgets — one more reason the cost of reaching every member by mail keeps growing even as engagement is flat or declining.

The opportunity is not print or digital. It is making the same investment in content work better across every format.

91%

of associations surveyed said members preferred flagship publications with both print and digital components.

The association publishing reality

What changes when digital publishing becomes part of the strategy.

The Publi suite is built around that mix of realities — not around the assumption that every association should abandon print or rebuild its publishing operation from scratch.

Rising print and mailing costs

Reduce dependence on print over time while continuing to offer the PDF or printed edition where it adds value.

Members expecting a better mobile experience

Deliver publication content that works naturally on phones, tablets, and desktops.

Pressure on sponsorship and advertising budgets

Give sponsors measurable digital exposure, clicks, and engagement alongside traditional placements.

Communications teams being asked to do more

Use AI-assisted production and reusable publishing systems to reduce repetitive work.

Years of valuable content sitting in archives

Turn past issues into an organized, searchable member resource.

Accessibility becoming a higher priority

Publish structured web content alongside accessible PDFs and other formats.

Built for how associations actually publish

Build on the workflow you already have.

Most associations already have a publishing process that works.

Designers create the publication. Editors review it. A print-ready PDF is produced.

The challenge begins after that.

The PDF is uploaded to the website, sent by email, or published through a replica viewer. Communications teams can then find themselves managing separate workflows for print, PDF distribution, website updates, email, archives, accessibility, analytics, and sponsor reporting.

Publi builds on the workflow you already have while giving members a much stronger digital experience.

AI plays an important role in that process by reducing repetitive production work — while your team remains in control of the editorial quality, design, and final publication.

More value for every member

Make your publication feel like the member benefit it is.

Your publications are one of the most visible ways members experience the expertise, education, research, advocacy, and community their membership provides.

Give that content an experience that reflects its value.

Instead of asking readers to pinch and zoom through fixed print pages, Publi delivers publications that work naturally on phones, tablets, and desktops while preserving the editorial quality and brand of the original publication.

ASAE itself moved Associations Now toward a digital-first publishing strategy after its member research showed a strong and growing preference for digital channels.

The point is not that print stopped mattering. It is that members increasingly expect both.

There’s a retention argument here too. In Momentive Software’s 2025 Association Trends research, members who saw their association as an early technology adopter reported meaningfully higher satisfaction, stronger connection to the organization, and a substantially higher likelihood of recommending it than members who saw their association as behind.

How your content shows up is part of how members judge whether you’re keeping pace.

read comfortably on any device
navigate articles and issues quickly
search and revisit content

listen to podcasts and audio

return to useful content long after publication day

Make the content you already create work harder

One publication. Multiple ways to read it.

The goal is not to force every reader into one format.

It is to give each publication more ways to create value.

Every publication represents months of work from your communications team, contributors, volunteers, subject-matter experts, designers, and leadership.

That value should not disappear when the next issue comes out.

Publi turns individual stories into structured web content with their own pages, URLs, and metadata — making articles easier to navigate, link to, share, revisit, and discover while keeping the complete issue together as a publication.

And you can continue offering the original PDF for members who prefer it.

Digital-first experience

Responsive articles designed for the screen, with navigation, multimedia, search, sharing, and analytics.

Downloadable PDF

Keep the familiar print-ready edition available for readers who want it.

Replica view

Preserve the exact page design when the print layout itself is part of the experience.

Turn your archive into a member resource.

Your archive represents years of member education, volunteer expertise, institutional knowledge, research, and organizational investment.

That content should not disappear six weeks after publication.

Publi organizes publications into issues and articles so members can move naturally between current and past content rather than digging through folders of PDF links.

Older content stays accessible, searchable, and connected to the publication it came from — continuing to deliver value long after publication day.

For associations with deep content libraries, that can turn an archive from a storage problem into a visible membership asset.

Membership value

Give prospective members a reason to join.

Marketing General’s benchmarking research puts a number on that difficulty: fewer than 1 in 8 associations describe their value proposition as “very compelling,” while nearly half call it only somewhat compelling.

Your publication is one of the clearest, most tangible proofs of value an association has. It’s the expertise, research, and community your organization produces, already packaged.

Don’t hide all your best content behind a login screen.

Your publications can demonstrate the value of membership before someone becomes a member.

Use public articles, preview editions, or gated content to give prospective members a meaningful look at the expertise and resources your organization provides.

Then reserve premium publications or content for members.

member-only access
email-gated content

Create more value for sponsors.

Instead of relying only on circulation or distribution numbers, your team can give sponsors measurable evidence that their message reached an engaged audience.

For associations under pressure to protect ad and sponsorship revenue, the opportunity is not simply to digitize an ad. It is to give sponsors a stronger reason to keep investing.

Help sponsors measure results — not just circulation.

For associations with advertising or sponsorship programs, digital publications create opportunities that print alone cannot provide.

Publish once. Reach every member.

Start with the work you’ve already done.

No separate digital rebuild from scratch.

No need to choose between print and digital before you start.

Communications teams should not have to rebuild every print publication manually for the web.

Publi’s AI-assisted PDF-to-HTML workflow takes your print-ready PDF and converts it into structured, responsive, and editable articles inside the Publi CMS.

Your team can then review the conversion, make edits, add multimedia, enhance accessibility, and publish.

AI accelerates the repetitive work. Your team keeps control of the content, design, and final result.

Continue producing print where it makes sense while giving members a digital experience designed for the screens they actually use.

Keep your team in control

Built for communications teams — not developers.

Most associations do not have dedicated developers waiting to build every publication.

Publi gives communications, editorial, and design teams the tools to manage recurring publications themselves.

We can establish your brand, styles, navigation, and reusable editorial components up front. Your team can then create new issues from the same system without recreating the design each time.

Your designers keep control of the brand. Your editors keep control of the content. Your publication stays consistent from issue to issue.

This hybrid approach can also work when you want more support.

Your team can publish independently, work collaboratively with us, or use Publi as part of a managed publishing workflow.

AI where it saves time

People where quality matters.

The goal isn’t automation for its own sake. It’s making professional digital publishing achievable for a team that doesn’t have a developer or a digital production department — which describes most association communications teams.

AI should not decide what your publication looks like or what matters to your members. It should remove the repetitive production work standing between a finished PDF and a strong digital experience — namely, the conversion itself.

Accessibility

Accessibility belongs in the publishing workflow.

Accessible publications should not require a separate digital project every time an issue is released.

Publi is built around responsive web content, semantic structure, heading hierarchies, alternative text, and other foundations that support accessible publishing.

PDFs themselves can be made accessible, but doing so requires correct document structure and accessibility work. W3C documents techniques such as tagged reading order, text alternatives, and semantic structure for accessible PDFs.

Structured web content provides associations with another accessible way to deliver the same information online.

The legal environment around digital accessibility isn’t standing still, either. Federal website accessibility lawsuits rose again in 2025, continuing a year-over-year climb in litigation that now reaches organizations of every size — not just large consumer brands.

Keep the accessible PDF when you need it. Add an accessible web experience when members deserve more choice.

Member engagement

Get members out of the inbox.

Email is excellent for delivering the message.

It does not have to contain the entire experience.

Use newsletters and member emails to bring readers into a branded publication where they can explore the full story, move between articles, discover related content, and return later.

Instead of another long email or attachment, the publication becomes the destination.

That gives your communications team more room for long-form content without asking members to consume everything inside an inbox.

Reader insight

Understand what members actually read.

Publi includes native publication analytics and can also work with tools such as Google Tag Manager and Adobe Analytics.

That means the conversation can move from “How many people received the issue?” to “What are members actually reading and responding to?”

A PDF download tells you that someone downloaded a file.

It does not tell you very much about what happened next.

With a web publication, your team can understand how audiences interact with individual content and use those insights to make better editorial, membership, and sponsorship decisions.

One platform. Different publishing goals.

Use Publi across the recurring publications your association already creates.

Member magazines

Keep the editorial experience and familiar issue structure while making every story easier to read, browse, search, and share.

Newsletters & bulletins

Move beyond the inbox and create a branded destination for recurring member updates.

Reports & research

Turn important long-form content into structured digital experiences while keeping the downloadable PDF available.

Journals & professional publications

Organize recurring issues, articles, and archives in one publication environment.

Conference & event publications

Create guides, programs, and supporting content that members can easily access from any device.

The last two years of association research keep pointing the same direction.

Tech perception drives loyalty

Members who see their association as an early technology adopter report meaningfully higher satisfaction and are far more likely to recommend the organization.

Keep what works.

Improve what members experience.

You do not need to abandon print.

You do not need to migrate your entire website.

And you do not need to introduce another complicated production process.

Publi gives your publications their own purpose-built digital environment while working alongside the systems and workflows your organization already uses.

Print when print works. Publish digitally when digital works better. Give members both when they want both.

See what your publication could become.

Share a recent magazine, newsletter, report, journal, or other publication.
