Association Publications
turnkey publishing solutions for Association & Societies
Turn Your Association’s Content Into Non-Dues Revenue
Associations and societies generate a tremendous amount of valuable content, including research reports, conference presentations, training materials, industry insights, and member expertise. But too often, that knowledge lives in short-term formats like PDFs, slide decks, or LMS platforms, where it’s difficult to scale, hard to maintain, and rarely reaches its full potential.
At Jenkins Group, we help associations take the content they already have and turn it into professionally produced publications, including books, eBooks, and audiobooks. The result is content that’s easier to use, easier to share, and positioned to create long-term value for your members while opening up new non-dues revenue opportunities.
If you’re exploring ways to better use your existing content or create new content, this is a great place to start. You can schedule a quick conversation with our team anytime to talk through your goals and see what’s possible.
The Opportunity You Already Have
You don’t need to start from scratch. Most associations already have what they need—it’s just a matter of how that content is structured and delivered.
With the right approach, it can become:
- Educational books and certification resources
- Training manuals and program guides
- Print and digital bundles for members and events
- Revenue-generating publications for members and non-members
Instead of being used once and forgotten, your content becomes a long-term asset that continues to deliver value for your members.

When It Makes Sense to Outsource Publishing
Some associations manage pieces of publishing internally. Others partner with us when they need additional expertise or capacity.
We’re typically a good fit if:
- Your team is already stretched thin
- You don’t have internal publishing or design resources
- You have valuable content that isn’t being fully utilized
- You want to create non-dues revenue without adding staff
Even when the opportunity is clear, there just isn’t the capacity to take it on internally. That’s where having the right partner makes all the difference.
A Turnkey Partner that adds value
You don’t need to build an internal publishing department to make this work. That’s where Jenkins Group comes in.
We partner with associations as an extension of their team, handling the full publishing process from start to finish so your team can stay focused on everything else you’re responsible for. You stay in control of the content, the decisions, and the revenue. We handle the execution.

Built Around Member Value and Revenue Growth
Publishing isn’t just about creating a book. It’s about what that book does for your organization.
When structured intentionally, educational publications can:
- Support certification programs and continuing education
- Create more consistent, standardized training materials
- Increase member engagement and perceived value
- Open up new non-dues revenue streams
- Reach audiences beyond your current membership
Many associations also introduce member and non-member pricing, creating additional revenue while continuing to serve their core audience.
