5 years of growth
Stemming and Reversing Membership Decline
TAPPI, the leading association representing the paper and packaging industry, had suffered a double whammy: a dramatic reduction in membership both as a result of the economic downturn and the overall decline of the manufacturing market in the U.S. TAPPI turned to MGI for solutions in stemming and reversing what appeared to represent an ominous trend.
Five Consecutive Years of Member Growth
Working with TAPPI staff, MGI developed an aggressive, multichannel member acquisition program that employed highly targeted messaging aimed at the multiple audiences within this complex and diverse industry. These approaches and great teamwork combined to successfully halt the decline. In fact, TAPPI has now enjoyed five straight years of membership growth! In addition, MGI’s new member acquisition efforts allowed TAPPI to focus on membership retention and engagement, and invest in new market development opportunities in the U.S. and abroad.
