MCLEAN, Va. — Naylor Association Solutions has announced the launch of their Naylor Marketplace, believed to be the association industry’s first – and only – third-party app store enabling associations to integrate the software solutions of their choice with their Naylor AMS or Career Center — in minutes and without the cost and effort required historically.

Naylor has grown from providing associations with member communications and event management just a few years ago into a full-service provider of association solutions, including Career Centers, AMS, online learning and association management services. Naylor has a unique mix of solutions that provide associations with tools of engagement and the tools to help monetize that engagement.

MCLEAN, Va. – Despite modest improvements to member communications and a reasonable awareness of lingering shortcomings, results of the 2017 Association Communications Benchmarking Survey indicate that many trade and professional associations are having a hard time implementing changes, and continue to struggle with how to become better communicators.

A strong majority (84 percent) of the more than 500 respondents to the survey, now in its sixth year, believe they are good at creating relevant content. Yet only 17 percent believe they have a good understanding of their reader, member and advertiser needs. Meanwhile, more than 40 percent see serious problems with the lack of revenue generated from their communication vehicles.
