2017 Report: Statistics • 2017 Benchmarking Research • 9th Consecutive Year • 17,381 invitations • 1,170 participating association executives • 7% response rate • The report highlights correlations and does not necessarily mean causation
Membership Change Overall, close to half of associations report increases in membership over the past year (46%). This trend is visible across the board, as all types of organizations are most likely to report that membership has increased.
Five Year Membership Change 50% of associations report that their membership over the past five years has increased, on par with findings from 2016.
First-Year Member Retention The median overall renewal rate for new members is 74%, the same as in 2016. So the challenge remains – especially for IMO’s -- to engage and retain new members. New member renewal rate for IMOs with more than 5,000 members is significantly more likely to be less than 60%.
Member Retention Renewal rates from our benchmarking research have remained remarkably stable over the years meaning the engine for membership growth continues to be new member acquisition.
Member Acquisition Associations reporting increases in new members over the past year are also significantly more likely to show increases in overall membership, increases in their five year membership numbers, and increases in their member renewals.
Internal Challenges to Growth IMOs are significantly more likely to be challenged in attracting and maintaining younger members (26%), while trade organizations struggle more with proving that their membership provides a tangible ROI (32%). Associations with larger operating budgets ($5 million or more) find the diversity of their membership to be a challenge.
External Challenges to Growth For IMOs the cost of membership and competing associations are also the top two challenges, but the cost of membership is less of an issue this year compared to last (34% vs. 40% in 2016).
Membership Generations Associations reporting an increase in membership over the past year, the past five years, and an increase in overall renewals are significantly more likely to have a higher percentage of Millennials.
