This post originally appeared last Wednesday on the ResultsDirect AssociationCentric Blog. Remarkable…simply remarkable. I find it remarkable that it is February 2013, and I am still reading magazine articles advising associations to create strategic plans every five or six years, and encouraging leaders to review those plans just once a year. Do association leaders still believe we live in that world?

Attracting first-class, first-rate, quality attendees is one of the most complex and important keys to your conference’s business model. Too many conferences attempt to be all things to all people and end up with a watered-down offering. You need a process to help you identify your various attendee segments and who your target market is. Once you peel back the layers to see who is really attending your event, you may not like what you see.

One of my favorite advertising slogans ever is a cheesy campaign NBC ran in the 90 to get people to watch reruns over the summer with the tagline “If you haven’t seen it, it’s new to you!” (Ok, this WAS before everyone had a DVR and was streaming TV series on Netflix). So what does this have to do with associations and website content? Let’s start with a few questions: If you assume a member churn rate of 10%-20%, over a period of 5 years how many new members do you have that never read your old

So I got more than a couple of tweets and emails from friends the other day who noticed a post on Seth Godin’s blog, called “ Humanize It.” Their first suggestion, of course, was that we send him a book. (For the record, we already had sent him one, though I have no idea if he read it or not. I should actually follow up with him on that…).

When sharing information for your association’s members, why wait for a “Monthly Newsletter?”. I love ASAE’s digital Associations Now , the daily electronic newsletter providing valuable information for association professions. It is totally focused on topics and issues related to association management. It doesn’t try to “sneak in” ASAE “news.” It provides its readers (like me) a look at what is happening around the world that impacts associations.
