ALA CARTE SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

Conferences and Expo/Trade Shows

In 2012 ACTHA will host its annual Conference and Trade Show at Drury Lane on Saturday, April 21. In addition there will be two Expos targeted to associations in the north (location pending) and in the south (September 29, in Tinley Park), although information on both events will be sent to all associations in ACTHA’s database.

Targeted to board members, owners and managers, all three events offer a selection of educational programs and an opportunity to meet with vendors. Program book advertising is available (see below). ACTHA offers two booth sizes: 12’ is $595, 6’ is $495. Electricity if needed is $95.

Newsletter & Program Book Advertising

ACTHA publishes a monthly newsletter and a program book in conjunction with its trade shows. There is a discount when placing multiple advertising in the newsletter. The rates are as follows: Full page: $295, Half page: $215, Quarter page: $165 and business card: $110. For newsletter advertising of three months or more, contact ACTHA at 312-987-1906.

Commercial Directory

ACTHA’s free commercial directory is published in September. It lists current commercial members and their contact information (supplements are printed and distributed throughout the year). Commercial members are also listed on the web site. Members may purchase advertising in the directory and an Expanded Listing (a description of services, listing of multiple Illinois locations and staff contacts). Orders may be placed up until July 15, 2012. The Ad or Expanded Listing is $ 110 each or order both—and save money– for a total cost of $ 195.

Exclusive Monthly Newsletter Insert

With each monthly newsletter, ACTHA allows one advertiser to place an insert. Limited to ACTHA commercial members, this represents a guaranteed mailing of 1,400 to named individuals. Companies need to reserve any month in advance and all inserts must be folded to fit a #10 envelope. A great way to avoid the appearance of “junk mail!” The cost is $ 595.

Mailing List Rental

Companies may target mailings to ACTHA’s database of 8,000+ associations. Simply identify the zip codes your company wishes to target, deliver the mailing to the office sealed and stamped and ACTHA will affix the labels. Mailings to members go to a named individual and non-member mailings go to “Current President.” The cost is 30 cents per label and $ 30 an hour secretarial.

“We were very pleased by the good response we had from property managers, condo/townhome residents and board members, as well as other vendors. We have already done business – signed, sealed and delivered! And paid for! – from connections we made at the show. And we have estimates and other opportunities still in the works.”
