Your Novi site can pay for itself.
Plenty of the associations we work with found us through the Novi community, and for the same reason they chose Novi in the first place. They wanted a partner who actually understands associations, not a vendor who treats them like an account number.
The Association Partner runs the non-dues revenue side of your operation. We package your digital inventory, price it, sell it, produce the creative, traffic the ads, report on performance, and handle renewals. All of it happens inside the Novi site you already have, and none of it asks anything more of your staff.
Novi keeps your association running. We help fund it.
Why Novi associations work with TAP
Built for the staff you actually have
Most Novi associations run lean. We handle the sales calls, the creative, the ad trafficking, the reporting, and the renewals.
Revenue that can offset your software line
Many of our association partners generate enough non-dues revenue to cover their AMS subscription and more. Results vary by audience size and industry.
Your reputation is the constraint
We prioritize relevance and frequency capping so members receive fewer, better placements. Your standards set the ceiling, not our inventory.
What that has looked like
American Academy of Implant Dentistry
- The Association Partner Doubled the non-dues revenue amount the previous supplier had generated for AAID.
National Rural Water Association
- Generated more than $1 million in non-dues revenue across a mix of digital, print, and event programs.
- Helped grow participation at the association's WaterPro conference.
The School Superintendents Association
- Generated more than $1 million in non-dues revenue through digital retargeting and sponsorships, and the program has since expanded to include selling AASA's corporate partnerships.
Texas Nurses Association
- Built and manage a digital advertising portfolio that has returned hundreds of thousands of dollars to the association.
American Biogas Council
- ABC's previous partner is a household name in association media. In two and a half years, TAP has sent the council more non-dues revenue than that partner returned across their entire ten-year relationship.
- Our first full year finished 36% above the best year they ever produced for ABC.
What associations say
We've got a great partnership going with you and the whole TAP team. The expansion of TAP selling our Corporate Partnerships has been awesome. You're already crushing it.
Chris Daw
Associate Executive Director, The School Superintendents Association (AASA)
We had a successful conference, in large part because of partners like The Association Partner. The statistics are great and that is very helpful information for me to present to the board, as well as encourage the states who are large enough to pursue additional opportunities with you.
Matthew Holmes
Chief Executive Officer, National Rural Water Association (NRWA)
So proud to be partnered with The Association Partner. You've made us so much more successful as an organization.

Common questions from Novi associations
Can you really offset our Novi AMS subscription?
Often, yes. It depends on the size of your audience and how much inventory you have to work with, but a good number of the associations we partner with generate enough non-dues revenue to cover their Novi license and keep a meaningful amount left over. That revenue comes from a mix of digital advertising, newsletter placements, programmatic, webinars, and corporate sponsorships that we manage on your behalf. We will tell you honestly during the audit whether the math works for your association.
Do we need extra staff to run this?
No, and that is rather the point. We handle the program end to end: building it, pricing the inventory, making the sales calls, producing the creative, trafficking the ads, reporting on performance, and handling renewals at the end of the term. Your staff approves what runs. We do the rest.
How do you integrate with our Novi website and data?
We work inside the Novi website and CMS you already have, and we follow whatever communications policies your board and staff have set. Nothing about your AMS changes, and nothing about how your members interact with it changes either. Think of us as working alongside Novi rather than in place of it.
Will this affect member experience?
Members tend to notice the difference in a good way. We cap frequency and screen every placement for relevance, so what your members see reads closer to useful industry information than to banner clutter. Your association's reputation is the thing we protect first, and we would rather leave inventory unsold than run something that embarrasses you in front of your own members.
What does getting started look like?
It starts with a short audit of the digital inventory you already have: your website, your newsletters, your event properties, and your email. From there we build a revenue plan with real numbers attached to it, open a sponsor pipeline, and launch. You see reporting from the first campaign forward, so you are never guessing at what the program is producing.
