MAXIMIZE YOUR MEMBERSHIP: Unlocking the Value of Your ABC Dues Investment

It’s that time of year again when we distribute our Membership Dues Investment statements. We often receive inquiries about the value our members gain from their investment, which includes both tangible and intangible benefits.

Intangible Benefits:
These focus on protecting your business. At the state level, we’ve successfully passed two important pieces of legislation while killing ten others that could be detrimental to your business. On the federal level, ABC is actively pursuing over 42 legal actions to challenge the current administration’s overreach affecting businesses.

Tangible Benefits:
Our members gain access to top-notch apprenticeship training and more than 140 educational and training opportunities. We host events that showcase the outstanding work of our members and provide numerous business-to-business networking opportunities through over 24 events each year. These initiatives are excellent ways to expand your employees’ growth in the industry.

But, how does all of this help pay for your membership? Here’s one of our best-kept secrets: ABC Keystone, in conjunction with National ABC, offers several discount programs. From cell phone plans to building materials and fleet services, signing up is quick and easy, and in many cases, the discounts can exceed the cost of your annual membership dues. For example, consider a contractor with around $6 million in annual revenue, managing eight vehicles, eight cell phones, and spending at least $20,000 on building materials. In this scenario, that contractor could save $1,720 on Verizon, $2,000 on fuel, and $1,400 at Lowe’s. While these figures may vary based on the size of the company, this potential savings of $5,120 would nearly cover the entire membership dues for this business, and this is just from three of over 15 discount programs we offer.

In addition, many of these savings can be extended to your employees, providing added value for your team. Don’t hesitate to take advantage of these beneficial programs.
