    According to the book Successful Marketing Strategies for Nonprofit Organization by Barry McLeish, nonprofit groups compete with each other in roughly four areas: quality of programs or technology, positioning of programs or products, quality of support services and price. Let's take a look at each of these areas and compare them with regard to how a for-profit company competes.

    Quality of programs or technology: Many times in a for-profit company, better technology is what puts you ahead of others. R&D departments work continuously to improve existing products and to be the first to roll out new products and services. While your nonprofit probably doesn't have an R&D department, you can - and should - always be evaluating products/programs and creating new ones. Keep improving on what you've got, even if you're "the best." Don't take the status quo as acceptable, because it won't be tomorrow.

    Positioning of programs or products: There are many ways to demonstrate high quality for a business, regardless of its profit status. For example, if you have a strong, large competitor you can position yourself as being smaller. You can use being smaller to promote the message that you have more one-on-one contact with constituents. Being smaller could also demonstrate your ability to do high-quality work because you pay attention to the smaller details in your organization. Have you been in business longer than your competitor? Is your staff more credentialed or more experienced? Use these facts to showcase your experience.
