You
have the responsibility to deliver
top-quality services to your members,
continuously enhance the image of
your association and its membership,
lobby on behalf of your constituents,
and promote professionalism by your
membership towards the industry or
community of interest you represent.
What resources do you have at your
disposal?
The truth is, probably far less than
you need.
Every association is limited in what it
can do based on its budget, and almost
every association shares the same
basic needs for products and services
to operate day-to-day.
So how do you afford
these products
and services?
Well, that depends on you.
If you shop for products and services
by looking for vendors in the local
Yellow Pages™, or call back that
“nice salesman” who left his card with
the receptionist last week – you’re
probably not doing yourself or your
members any favours.
The fact is there are hundreds of
suppliers of products and services
ready to competitively bid on your
business - giving you better pricing
and more options; but they don’t
know that you exist – and you
don’t know that they exist either.
So how do you find the best
supplier to get the lowest prices,
maximum flexibility, and maintain
the quality of service you demand?
Emerio is Canada’s
Professional
Services Marketplace dedicated to
small and medium sized businesses,
and not-for-profit organizations.
Through the Emerio marketplace,
associations can post their Requests
for Services project and have service
providers in over 100 service
categories bid on your project.
What is the benefit to my Association?
Because Emerio provides a competitive
marketplace for service buyers and
providers, an association which buys
services on Emerio is guaranteed to
receive exceptionally competitive bids
on their projects – in fact, as much as
45% off of bids which you may receive
from “local vendors”.
Absolutely nothing. The sole commitment you
make is the time
it takes you to register on the Emerio
marketplace.
After that, you can post your service
projects as you need to. We do not
charge you any fees to use Emerio – no
fees to post projects, no fees to
accept proposals, no fees – period.
