Market Research: 
What People Tell You they Value

Whether qualitative or quantitative, market research can be an excellent tool to evaluate value. Researchers ask members, prospects, and former members to tell them what they believe is valuable or how valuable they find a specific benefit, product, or service. Whether conducted through email surveys, online forums, in-person focus groups, executive interviews, or a combination, market research is a tool that asks people what they think and what they think about value.

Here are examples of questions market researchers may ask to gain insight into member acceptance of the value proposition:

• What is your brand? What are the principal reasons you joined this association?
• What do you value most about this association's membership?
• What does this association provide that you find nowhere else?
• What makes this membership stand out among others?
• How does this membership compare to other associations you have joined?
• How has this membership helped your career?
• What are the reasons you allowed this membership to lapse?
• What would enhance the value of this membership?
• What specific elements of this membership are most important?
• How well is this membership delivering on the benefits you want?
