Measuring the pulse of your industry.

As an association, it is your mission to add value to membership. You can be the exclusive provider of priceless business insights on an ongoing basis.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″]
Our customized, comprehensive surveys convert raw data into your own Industry Barometer Report, which provides expert analysis of current business conditions based on information supplied by your members. All data sources remain anonymous and confidential, enabling participants to compare their own businesses with the industry as a whole.
Reports include visual data representations, such as charts and graphs, cross-referenced by region, business segment, and end market, and are rounded out by indexes that help members evaluate specific aspects of their business activities. Nowhere else is this available. See Sample
Industry Barometer Reports LLC has been successfully conducting Industry Barometer Reports for trade associations for more than 35 years. Member response rates have consistently averaged more than 20 percent—significantly greater than statistically necessary for accuracy—and far greater than an industry insider could obtain. Members are reluctant to share sales, production, or financial data with anyone in the industry. In this aspect, we provide the bridge between you and your members, a bridge that leads to forecasts of business conditions two to three months in the future.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”10″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”top”][vc_column][ultimate_heading main_heading=”Our Team” alignment=”left” spacer=”line_only” spacer_position=”middle” line_height=”5″ line_color=”” main_heading_font_size=”desktop:40px;” main_heading_line_height=”desktop:46px;” line_width=”200″ main_heading_margin=”margin-bottom:15px;” main_heading_style=”font-weight:bold;” el_class=”accent-border-color”][/ultimate_heading][vc_empty_space height=”64px”][vc_row_inner content_placement=”top”][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″]

As a commercial manager and quality control engineer, he visited manufacturing plants in numerous business sectors across the United States. With an expert eye, Jim identified and resolved issues in both the production and commercial concerns for many organizations.
Moving to the nonprofit sector, Jim’s enthusiasm for business data inspired him to create and develop his first association industry barometer. As member services director for NADCA (North American Die Casting Association), he was responsible for increasing membership, and driven to find benefits and tools to add membership value. Jim managed the business intelligence programs, which included surveys to measure compensation/benefits, financial ratios, and business conditions. He was associate executive vice president when he left to expand the reach of his survey work.
In 1989, Jim launched his own company, which continued executing member surveys for NADCA. This quickly grew to include other trade associations and professional societies. The cornerstone project evolved into a means of capturing real-time information about a given industry that is both low in cost and high in value. His market research and data analysis skills are the basis for the format and visuals comprising today’s Industry Barometer.
For the past 35 years, Jim has been successfully running Industry Barometer Reports for trade associations. Working as an independent, impartial third party has led to member response rates consistently averaging more than 20 percent.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space][vc_separator color=”custom” style=”shadow” border_width=”3″ accent_color=”#8ec492″][vc_row_inner content_placement=”top”][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″]
