Non-Dues Revenue

Recent research into new product and service development reveals that 46% of the resources that organizations devote to the conception, development and launch of new products and services go to projects that do not succeed. All too often they fail to interest their intended audience or never actually reach the market. Organizations new to product and services development are well-advised to get help in order minimize the risk of failure or under-performance.

The need for effective new product development has never been greater for non-profit membership associations. Increasingly, association Boards are pressuring senior management to reduce dependency on event revenue and resist the temptation to increase the cost of membership dues. The need to find new ways to acquire and retain members places significant pressure on many organizations to perform in an area that is largely new to them or not a traditional aspect of their mission. That problem is compounded by the fact that creating winning new products and services is not easy.
