We all know retention is the lifeblood of a thriving association, but how do you achieve it? We cracked the code, revealing 3 clear and evidence-based strategies for best-in-class membership retention: Go Big on the First Two Renewals: Retaining your newest members sets the stage for long-term loyalty. Our research shows each renewal significantly increases the likelihood they'll stay on board long-term. Watch the 90-Day Clock: New members engaged in the first 3 months are far more likely to renew. Seize this window to deliver on your value proposition and keep them hooked. Focus on High-Impact Engagement: Not all engagement is equal! Our research shows specific activities have a much bigger impact on renewals. Identify these "super sticky" engagements and promote them to your members.

One of my passions... Run your association like a business rather than a non-profit. What does that mean? Create efficiencies. It's painful to watch trade associations continually discuss goals and initiatives and accomplish little. Read more on the Avivant Partners blog on how to break this cycle of inefficiency. #associationmanagement #tradeassociations #meetingprofs #projectmanagement #recruitretainengage #avivantpartners

?? The Power of Associations: Driving Impact, Fostering Connection ?? Have you ever stopped to think about the profound role associations play in shaping industries, professions, and even entire communities? At Leladijo Consulting, we believe that associations are not just organizations—they are powerhouses of collaboration and innovation that bring competitors together, solve shared challenges, and elevate entire sectors. Why Are Associations Important? ?? Facilitators of Collaboration: In industries where competition often defines the landscape, associations create a neutral space for knowledge-sharing, fostering partnerships, and advancing common goals. ?? Advocates for Change: Associations amplify the voices of their members, driving policy discussions, influencing regulations, and shaping industry standards. ?? Catalysts for Professional Development: By offering training, certifications, and networking opportunities, associations empower professionals to grow and thrive. ?? Community Builders: They nurture connections, strengthening bonds among individuals and organizations that share a vision. Why Do They Matter? ?? A recent study by the American Society of Association Executives (ASAE) revealed that organizations with robust association involvement are more likely to report higher innovation levels, better member retention, and stronger brand reputations. Additionally, research from Oxford Economics underscores that the $1 trillion global meetings industry is driven largely by association events, providing an economic and knowledge-sharing boost to sectors worldwide. Why Do We Care? At Leladijo Consulting, we recognize that while associations are masters at supporting their industries, they are often underserved themselves. Associations dedicate their resources to empowering others but seldom get the tailored support they need to thrive internally. That’s where we come in—helping associations optimize their structures, align their strategies, and foster the well-being of their teams. ?? Our Vision: We envision a world where associations not only support their industries but also learn from one another—sharing best practices, scaling their impact, and creating even greater value. Your Turn to Join the Conversation: ?? What do you think makes associations valuable? ?? How has your association made a difference in your industry or career? Let’s celebrate the unsung heroes of industries everywhere—our associations. Together, let’s ensure they get the recognition and support they deserve. #Associations #Collaboration #Innovation #CommunityBuilding #LeladijoConsulting
