It is my pleasure to announce the release of the 2014 Membership Marketing Benchmarking Report. This marks the sixth year that Marketing General Incorporated (MGI) has surveyed associations to better understand what is going on in the membership market and what is working best to recruit members, engage new members, renew existing members, and reinstate former members. It also marks the highest level of association participation with 865 separate associations sharing their data. The 2014 Report includes new questions related to social media usage, email frequency and open rates, and who pays membership dues (individuals or companies). A free download of the full report is available from the Marketing General Incorporated website.
