At Brand Federation, we've been fortunate enough to work with lots of association brands all over the world, organizations that represent trade groups and whole industries at times. These organizations are assembled by members who pay to participate and share influence, learnings, and connections among one another.
The key to all of these association brands is that they have to provide value to existing and prospective members – the degree to which these members are actively benefiting from your services.
In our work with association brands, we found some strategic patterns that can really benefit every association, and developed a quantitative tool that can help energize associations.
