The 2017 Membership Marketing Benchmarking Report continues to highlight the growth and resilience for membership associations, as many more associations are reporting an increase in their membership (46%) compared to those citing a membership decline (25%). While associations are facing both external and internal challenges, successful associations are engaging members with new products and services that deliver what members want, when they want it.
Important topics covered in this edition of the report include:
· The five-year association membership growth trends.
· The biggest challenges reported in growing membership.
· The average and median renewal rates for associations.
· The top reasons for members joining.
· The top reasons for members not renewing.
· The communication methods to engage new members.
· The most popular social media used by associations.
· The number of email contacts per week and open rates.
· The frequency and amount of dues increases.
Membership marketing – acquiring, engaging, upgrading, and renewing members – is the cornerstone for associations and relationship driven organizations.

Growing Your Association through Innovative Membership ModelsTony Rossell
Developing new membership models take a long term marketing concept called product line extension and apply it to an association’s membership product. Many associations are moving away from a traditional “one size fits all” membership and instead offering a portfolio of membership options that allow a prospect to select a package that best meets their content needs and budget. New membership models range from a tiered membership structure, to group membership, to an option for selecting either individual or organizationally based membership package. Properly deployed, these new models can help an association increase member engagement, numbers, and revenue.
2014 Membership Marketing Benchmarking Presentation by Tony RossellTony Rossell
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.
The 2012 Membership Marketing Benchmarking Report surveyed more than 691 association executives to better understand the strategies and tactics they use to recruit, engage, and retain members. The report is the most exhaustive and comprehensive study in the series.
Again this year, a key feature of the report was to cross-tabulate specific marketing practices with reported membership outcomes to determine which practices support better results.
The Benchmarking Report evaluates the relative success of a variety of marketing practices and presents dozens of key findings to give association executives insight and direction to develop more effective membership marketing programs.
Emerging Hybrid Membership Models for AssociationsTony Rossell
Hybrid membership models take a long term marketing concept called product line extension and apply it to an association’s membership product.

Hybrid membership models range from a tiered membership structure, to group membership, to an option for selecting either individual or organizationally based membership package.

Three keys to on target membership marketing ready, aim, and fireTony Rossell
Sometimes we can be overwhelmed with the many challenges and opportunities when it comes to membership marketing. My goal today is to try and simplify the steps needed in building a well targeted and effective membership marketing program for your association.
The Membership Lifecycle by Tony RossellTony Rossell
Three decades of partnering with associations and other membership organizations has given Marketing General Incorporated unique insights into the workings of successful membership growth management.
The people of MGI have drawn on their experience to develop a comprehensive membership marketing model we call the MGI Membership Lifecycle.
The Lifecycle helps organizations appreciate how an integrated membership marketing methodology can increase success in finding and keeping members.
The MGI Membership Lifecycle segments the membership experience into five consecutive steps:
Awareness … when prospects first discover you.
Awareness is developed through targeted messaging and multichannel brand recognition strategies. Go-to-market research and tactical analysis frame awareness campaigns that build recognition and generate new relationships through information exchange and lead generation.
Recruitment … when prospects choose to try you.
Recruitment utilizes many marketing disciplines that are consistently tested to discover the best performing strategies. This merges market segmentation, creative development, and value driven offers to maximize returns in the most cost-effective ways.
Engagement … when new members feel they belong with you.
Engagement is key to high retention rates and sustained membership growth. Successful engagement programs convert new members into active users of benefits and encourage involvement to build member loyalty. Engagement programs are a crucial lead-in to Renewal.
Renewal … when lapsing members decide whether to keep you.
Renewal is a confirmation of the value members feel they have received from their organization. It is a vote of confidence … or no confidence. Renewals are a critically necessary foundation for organizational growth that demand close attention to process and member communications.
Reinstatement … when former members agree to return to you.
Reinstatement programs offer opportunities for lapsed members to reconsider the decision to join when presented with fresh messaging and perhaps new offers. Reinstatements are a regular component of membership growth programs that every organization should have in place to bring the Membership Lifecycle full circle.
The MGI Membership Lifecycle is a framework to design and implement customized solutions that maximize recruitment, engagement, and retention to optimize membership growth.

Is it crazy to talk about membership growth in the midst of a recession? Not according to Tony Rossell, Senior Vice President of Marketing General, Inc. As he outlined in his February, Associations Now article, The Upside of Down, “right now is perhaps the best time in recent memory to acquire new members. And organizations that are taking advantage of this are seeing remarkable returns”. But how are associations going about achieving the results that Tony talked about in the article?

Improve Membership Marketing Results One Test at a TimeTony Rossell
Perhaps the number one mistake in membership marketing is not conducting marketing tests in each promotion. By not testing, organizations sub-optimize the effectiveness of their marketing. This presentation highlights the power of adding marketing tests in membership promotions and highlights high leverage testing opportunities.
Traditionally, associations have been designed to serve either organizational trade members or the individual professionals who work in such organizations. But increasingly, associations are realizing that there is a third option: intentionally designing business models to serve both the individual and the organization. (Presentation at CalSAE Seasonal Spectacular December 2014. Portions of the presentation repurposed from ASAE14, co-presented with Tony Rossell, Marketing General, Inc. and Krista Barnes.)
Dowell Management created this presentation to serve as a snapshot of the data found in both the MACE Compensation Survey (2012) and MACE Operations Survey (2013).
Presented on 7/30/2013 as the inaugural webinar for Marketing General Incorporated's new webinar series. The goal of the presentation was to use results of the 2013 Membership Marketing Benchmarking Report (2013 MMBR) and show industry wide trends in membership marketing strategies and tactics, benchmarks for specific tactics used by individual member and trade associations (ie: average overall and 1st-yr renewal rates) and recommendations on how to use this information with real-life examples taken from Mr Schonher's nine years of experience working with associations in membership marketing. The hosts for this presentation were Erik Schonher, vice president and project director, and Dr. Adina Wasserman, director of research and lead researcher for this study.
