Budget-Savvy Marketing for Today’s Professional Association

Like many associations today, yours may be operating on a tighter marketing budget than in past years. That’s understandable, as many professionals now struggle to fit association membership into their busy schedules.

That’s also why we constantly look for opportunities to help associations get the most out of every marketing dollar. Two solutions we encourage all our clients to consider are:

ChapterLink™ is our web-based solution that makes it easy for your chapters to promote your organization locally with logo-imprinted items. Besides saving you time and costs, it provides full support to your chapter contacts, from online-proofing their orders to tracking of billing and shipping.  Similar technology also allows you to quickly develop and deploy an Association Member Store with custom Merch to help strengthen your brand and engagement with members as well as provide an additional revenue stream.

Personalized URL (PURL) and QR Code Marketing can improve attendance at events and reduce printing and mailing costs. Instead of sending brochures to your entire list, PURLs allow members to “RSVP online” to your meeting, identify which sessions or topics are of most interest, and directly link to online registration. You can then target future mailings based on interests.
