    Possible benefits we are looking at including with Drupal association memberships.

    Only two benefits received more than a majority of responses indicating survey respondents would pay for the benefit. In order to start simply and maximize the effectiveness of the all volunteer resources of the Drupal Association I am recommending we pursue only two possible benefits.

    53.6% (379) -listing in member services directory (e.g. designer, developer,which industries you specialize in serving)

    54.9% (392) - free attendance at Drupal Conference events and early access to registration

    Pricing sensitivity for Drupal association corporate membership

    This graph represent a Van Westendorp Pricing Sensitivity Analysis. We looked at over 1100 responses to the Drupal Association membership pricing survey and determined the optimal pricing point for individuals to be $30.

    The optimal point is the intersection of too cheap and too expensive, in an attempt to maximize the number of purchasers of Drupal Association corporate memberships.

    Drupal.org has more than 150 000 members and the hope would be that this price would optimize the number of corporate memberships purchased.

    Drupal.org advertising proposals requested

    In 2006, Drupal.org traffic increased 250%. In order to prepare for future growth of Drupal.org and the needs of the Drupal community the Drupal Association is looking into starting a paid advertising program. We believe that paid advertising that is relevant to the needs of Drupal administrators, Drupal users, and the Drupal community can be placed in relevant sections of Drupal.org and help the Drupal community greatly by funding improvements and infrastructure for Drupal.org websites.
