What if your association suddenly had access to powerful industry research that could drive revenue? What would you do with new sponsorships, non-member sales, and a surge in memberships, all sparked by a single research project? At Big Red M, we create research that doesn’t just sit on a shelf, it creates value. According to ASAE, 70% of associations report their data-driven strategies lead to better member engagement and increased revenue. We help turn that research into a strategic asset that works for you. Industry research can generate your association immediate funding. Sell the final report to non-members and unlock exclusive content for members, all while growing your membership base. Think about it: A single research project could pay for itself and keep giving back. What other initiative in your association can claim that?

This week, we’re excited to share some advice from Elizabeth Johnson, our Executive VP of Consulting! Thinking about revising your association’s dues structure? If you want changes in place by 2026, now’s the time to get started. Planning ahead is key when it comes to revising your association’s dues schedule. “You want to start looking at revising your dues schedule at least a year before it takes effect. For example, we’re already working with associations on dues adjustments that won’t roll out until 2026!” “Between the review process, board approvals, and timing it with your membership cycle (usually January), it can take months to get everything in place. Starting early makes all the difference.” Elizabeth’s main message? Get ahead of it now to avoid headaches later. Ready to start the process or want to learn more? Reach out to us today, and let’s talk about how we can help! https://bit.ly/BRMschedule #associationexecutive #associationchat #assnchat #associationhelp #associationmanagement
