2011 Association Benchmark Report Reflects Strong Membership Growth Over Past Two Years.
ALEXANDRIA, VA – The Marketing General Incorporated (MGI) has released its 2011 Membership Marketing Benchmarking Report, an assessment of membership growth trends among associations and other membership organizations. The report is grounded in a survey of 650 association executives and measures the major indicators of membership health – total membership, new members acquired, and membership renewals:
“We are pleased to see the results of the latest survey,’ said MGI president Rick Whelan. “It’s a good example of how associations benefit when they continue active membership marketing in a soft economy. Time and again over the last 33 years MGI has been in business, this has proven to be the best course of action for association health and fiscal strength,” Whelan added.
The report is available for free download on the Marketing General Incorporated website at www.marketinggeneral.com/resources/benchmark-report/.
