Transforming an Association and Trade Show: Two Responses to Industry Trends

Folks with extraordinary foresight coupled with boundless enthusiasm blaze trails and successfully guide their organizations into the future, whether at the helm of their own companies or as leaders in associations.  These traits are universal.

Vision and passion are elements usually associated with entrepreneurial successes.  However, when you analyze successful ventures in the nonprofit sector, you find that vision and passion are integral elements as well. . . .

Listen, transform and lead: A formula for success.  Associations, like all organizations, need to change and evolve in response to trends to remain relevant in their industries.  If an association maintains the status quo, it simply falls behind.

PEI and ISSA refocused and repositioned their organizations at a time when the economy was depressed and world political pressures impacted participation in most trade shows.  However . . . understood the driving forces in their respective industries and responded with creative solutions to enhance their associations' value for members and the industries they serve.


 
First and Last Paragraphs in an Article for a Trade Journal:


E-Mail Marketing: A Winning Component of Your Marketing Plan

Imagine finding a marketing medium that yields high response rates and reduced expenses.  While some associations have yet to explore this medium, others are reaping significant benefits.  E-mail marketing and the potential applications for meetings, membership and other association programs seem limitless.

As with any relatively new medium, particularly an electronic one, association executives need to be knowledgeable about the process to achieve success.  Whether you develop and implement your association's e-mail marketing programs internally or outsource them, you should be able to expand your marketing reach, reduce your marketing expenses or both.  That resonates, particularly in today's economy . . . .

Marketing professionals agree that integrating multiple marketing formats -- e-mail combined with direct mail, advertising, faxing and telemarketing -- into a marketing campaign produces the most effective results.  Younger people are more comfortable with electronic communications and, as associations respond to these needs, e-mail will probably comprise a greater portion of total marketing plans.  Whether you are currently using e-mail marketing or considering it, your marketing plans will evolve and innovate in response to member and industry demographics, financial pressures and technological advancements.  May you achieve many click-throughs!
