Enhance Your Buying Power

Harnessing greater buying power, nearly 200 association management companies provide full-service management and outsourcing to more than 3,000 associations, serving 2.8 million members worldwide and representing $1.9 billion in association revenue.

AMCs can leverage extensive buying power for meeting planning, marketing, communications, creative services, and technology, as well as help associations:

  • Reduce service fees and purchase rates
  • Improve the ability to obtain goods and services
  • Boost negotiating power
  • Realize savings passed along to association clients

Right-Size Your Staffing

To capitalize on time and energy, AMCs provide associations with the staffing expertise they need when they need it. That means strategically evaluating the business model to determine if current staffing levels are appropriate for the needs of the association.

By evaluating performance vs. demand and employee maintenance vs. productivity, AMCs can help associations:

  • Ensure the staffing situation is optimized for maximum efficiency
  • Free up executives to focus on strategic initiatives

Reduce Your Overhead Costs

Overhead costs can put a small association under in this economy. To stay afloat, it's critical to develop a strategy to effectively manage these costs and, where possible, ensure day-to-day expenses are part of a larger investment in organizational growth.

By sharing overhead costs for professional services with other clients, AMCs can help associations:

  • Increase resources and capabilities
  • Strengthen return on investment
