Pricing for Associations
and Non-Profit Organizations

Professional Associations and NonProfit Organizations:

Increase Performance Through Improved Pricing Strategy

In the Professional Associations and Not-for-Profits sectors, pricing had typically evolved with limited strategic focus over the years. There often was a lack of coordination across the mix of revenue generating offers, such as membership fees and dues, conferences, publications and continuing education.

Today, pricing is a rapidly growing priority with both for-profit and not-for-profit competitive alternatives emerging, causing margins to decline and revenues to flatten. Professional Associations are focused on developing a skill set that drives pricing strategy and revenue growth. In one example, Iris Pricing Solutions partnered with a large Professional Association to develop and implement a World Class PricingTM strategy and a Capabilities Roadmap, helping them more effectively grow volume and margins.

Pricing for Associations: Case Study

The Challenge

Like most Associations, the client was initially very low on the World Class PricingTM maturity scale. As a result, they had difficulties:

  • Making decisions about discounting and bundling to support revenue and margin goals, given the organization’s rapidly expanding portfolio and diverse membership
  • Balancing a sufficient member/ non-member price differential to drive fair value to existing members, reduce membership attrition and meet new member acquisition goals
  • Determining international pricing and licensing structures as they expanded
  • Developing a pricing capabilities roadmap for the short, medium and long-term, including the people, processes and systems to sustain changes in pricing strategy and goals
