Abstract
Executives of associations, clubs, and professional societies need to understand and utilize a marketing oriented approach to managing their organizations. Marketing is not just selling a product; it is the sensitivity and commitment to align the organization's purpose to satisfying its members. Associations' success depends on maintaining its current members, attracting new members, and invoking involvement. Since associations do not usually offer a "product," it is necessary that they concentrate on presewing and serving their membership through quality service. This paper explains the importance of implementing a marketing orientation as well as the value of improving marketing efforts for associations.
