Boosting Association Ad Revenue: Why Your Old Sales Model Isn’t Working and How to Fix It.
This 90-minute webinar shows you how to boost advertising and sponsorships by combining a new, consultative sales model with new advertising options, vehicles, and trends.
We’ll move from basic to advanced and address some of toughest issues you will face in shaking up doing sales as usual at your association. The presentation will also include trends in marketing kits.
We’ll take a look at how to:
- Move from sales pitching to consultative sales that requires discussion and problem solving, not presenting a limited set of options.
- Think like a fundraiser or sponsor relationship manager, uncovering the key reasons a company advertises with you (it’s not just sales leads!)
- Fully understand your channels and create customized packages that target the members your advertiser wants to reach and stop creating clutter for those who do not care.
- Navigate policy changes that allow you to create advertising space in communications vehicles that were previously off limits.
- Create new advertising-supported resources that bring value to your members and make a profit.
- Trends in marketing kits, including new examples from associations featured in Association TRENDS.
- Use social marketing channels like Twitter as advertising vehicles.
- Manage the movement of an advertiser to a sponsor with a larger financial investment in the association.
Register today and you'll hear straight from the experts in generating non-dues income and will gain practical knowledge you can use right away to re-energize your sales program. Plus, the Q&A session at the end gives you the chance to ask questions about your own specific concerns.
