Playing it safe is riskier than you think.

Every day you hesitate to make change, you lose.

Opportunities disappear. Prospects go cold. Your competitors? They’re moving forward.

Waiting to grow your revenue? That’s risky. Missed members, untapped sponsorships, non-dues revenue slipping through your fingers.

It’s easy to ask, "What if we fail?"

But the real question is: "What if we succeed beyond our wildest dreams?"

What if you unlocked revenue streams you never thought possible? Your association’s potential is right in front of you, waiting.

Don’t let fear paralyze your team. Big Red M’s unique sales force knows how to act fast, fill those gaps, and deliver results.

Imagine what growth looks like when more opportunities are captured. When your membership surges. When sponsorships sell out.

Are you ready to let fear continue to hold you back?

Or are you ready to maximize your association’s revenue?

The choice is yours.

Did you know?

Marketing emails are opened by members at an average rate of 20–30%, making it one of the most reliable ways to reach and engage your audience.

But the real key to success? Sending the right message to the right people.

By segmenting your audience based on interests, engagement history, or membership type, your emails become more relevant. Targeted messages see higher open rates and build lasting member relationships.

At Big Red M, we specialize in sales, and email marketing is a powerful part of the strategy we use on your association's behalf.

From audience segmentation to managing automated campaigns, we help associations drive results where they want to see them.

Your sponsors have been quietly drifting away....

They’re skipping renewals, showing less excitement about events, and questioning the ROI of their support.

Without them, your key programs and initiatives are at risk, and the funding that keeps your association moving forward starts to dwindle.

In fact, research shows that about 46% of sponsors consider leaving partnerships when they don’t feel there’s clear, measurable value.

It’s frustrating. You’ve built these partnerships over years, but keeping sponsors engaged now feels like an uphill battle. As their interest fades, so does the lifeline they provide for your association’s growth and sustainability.

At Big Red M, we specialize in sponsorship sales, helping associations strengthen their partnerships and demonstrate the value that keeps sponsors coming back.

Imagine working at an association where your focus is solely on what matters most, your community.

As an association CEO, nothing’s more fulfilling than building connections, fostering loyalty, and creating a sense of belonging.

But with meetings, travel, and high-level strategy taking up your time, how often do you actually get to focus on that?

Your days are dedicated to setting the vision, supporting your team, and staying ahead of big-picture goals. While each of these is essential, they can sideline the community-building that inspires your work.

With Big Red M as your growth partner, you can reclaim time for the heart of your mission. Our tailored sales strategies drive membership and revenue, our publishing services expand your reach through print and digital channels, and our consulting insights future-proof your organization.

We help build a foundation that lets you focus on what truly matters.

Turn your association into the association you dream of.

Imagine this: You're part of an association with a meaningful mission statement and a powerful story. But when it comes to publishing, finding a partner who truly "gets" your vision seems impossible.

You've tried with others, but each time you face the same setbacks, confusing contracts, losing control over editorial decisions, and disappointing financial returns. Worse yet, every attempt seems to dilute your message, leaving you to wonder if you’re reaching the right people at all.

The frustration grows when you realize that, without the right support, your story may never reach the audiences who would benefit most.

In today’s shifting publishing landscape, where open access, digital formats, and distribution networks are constantly evolving, keeping up isn’t just challenging, it’s overwhelming. And when your association’s brand and values are on the line, settling is not an option.

From clear, partnership-focused contracts to maintaining editorial control, every part of our process is designed to keep your mission at the forefront. We handle everything from ad sales to digital and print conversion, ensuring your message reaches the right audience, without compromise.

Let’s make your mission our priority.

Running a successful association demands time and energy. Two resources you never seem to have enough of.

You’re constantly managing memberships, planning events, and pursuing growth opportunities. But the clock never seems to be on your side, and with a lean team, tackling big initiatives often feels out of reach.

Every day, you wonder how you can get it all done.

The reality is that when time runs thin, priorities get pushed aside. Important projects get delayed, opportunities slip through the cracks, and growth goals remain just out of reach.

You know you need a solution, but bringing in another full-time team member isn’t always an option, and finding that balance between resources and results? It’s an ongoing challenge for associations everywhere.

With Big Red M, you don’t have to compromise.

We offer the expertise, support, and hands-on help your team needs. From sales and publishing to consulting, we provide it all, without the full-time cost. Our experienced team steps in as your behind-the-scenes partner, delivering the results while freeing up your time.
