We Know Sales. We Know Associations.

With our knowledge of associations, Profitable Association Inc. can identify ways to integrate strategic efforts to build a program that is repeatable, sustainable, and growth-focused — enabling crossing-selling, up-selling, and bundling to maximize sales results.

As an extension of an association’s sales team, we also have monetized in-person conferences, virtual events, advertising, and everything in between.  And with additional revenue, you’ll be able to work toward your mission and provide greater benefits to your members.

Featured Case Study

PAI Sales Case Study

From Monthly Publication To Award-Winning Journal With Dozens of Regular Advertisers

 

The Design-Build Institute of America (DBIA) wanted to transform its newsletter into a monthly journal that would become the association’s flagship offering to members and to the industry. To do so meant significant increases in production costs. From no ad sales revenue at the start, we developed and launched a program that resulted in over $450,000 in annual advertising revenue in four years, including through the economic downturn of 2008-2009.
