Surveys

Surveys conducted for associations fall into two basic groups: Opinion Surveys and Business Surveys.

Opinion Surveys

To learn what members, non-members, and suppliers want and need, associations conduct opinion surveys.

Examples:

  • Member Needs Assessments
  • Member Satisfaction Surveys
  • Meeting Evaluations
  • Trade Show Evaluations
  • Publication/Readership Surveys
  • Marketing Surveys
  • Educational Needs Assessments
  • Member Service Utilization Surveys
  • Competitive Analyses

Business Surveys

Association members possess valuable, although usually proprietary, data, and the association is the confidential connection.

Examples:

  • Operating/Financial Surveys
  • Benchmarking Surveys
  • Compensation/Benefits Surveys
  • Business Trend Surveys
  • Shipments/Sales Surveys
  • Business Conditions Surveys
  • Regulatory Compliance Surveys
