HBA of Fort Wayne

"We contracted with E&M this year to do our membership directory and we couldn’t be more pleased with the results.  Working with E&M was easy and there was no risk or cost to our association.  E&M increased our non-dues revenue along with upgrading our directory to a glossy tabbed publication.   It greatly reduced our staff time allowing us  to stay focused on other projects.  E&M sent us a proof and worked with us until all proofing changes were made.  I highly recommend E&M to any association looking for excellent customer service and a high quality membership directory."

-- Maurine Holle, HBA of Fort Wayne

Home Builder Association of Delaware

"E&M Consulting saved us thousands of dollars on layout and printing of our membership directory on the first publication that we contracted with them.  They turned around the directory with a proof to us within 2 weeks of receiving the membership information.   The members were very pleased with the final product!   They were able to bulk rate mail to all the members directly, saving us money and additional staff time.  On our next publication we utilized E&M's professional sales team for the ad sales allowing my staff to focus on other priorities, and they netted $13,250 in non-dues revenue! E&M has also produces our development maps.  We have netted well over $10,000 in non-dues revenue from those projects with no risk or staff time needed.  I highly recommend them for either publication."

Home & Building Association of Greater Grand Rapids

We are delighted with the project you put together for us. Our members are pleased and the general public seems quite enthusiastic. Thank you for your attention to detail…. You were very good to work with and I would recommend your map to any local association as a good non-dues revenue source, and a great information piece. Thank you again.

-- Judy Barnes, EVP/CEO Home & Building Association of Greater Grand Rapids

Home Builders & Contractors Association of Brevard

We just completed the second edition of our development and subdivision map with E&M Consulting.   Our first map was very well received by the home buying public, especially our Realtor® community, and we are excited to have the second edition! E&M’s professional sales approach has been extremely well received by our members and contributed to the great success of our second map, even in tough market conditions.  The map project takes little to no staff time because E&M does all of the work; plus we can always use the non-dues revenue!  I enthusiastically recommend E&M Consulting and the development map project to other associations looking to promote their association and for additional non-dues revenue sources.

North State Building Industry Association

We appreciated the professionalism of the E&M staff in the sales calls they made to our members, as well as their sensitivity in avoiding disruptions to our office routine as they carried out their work. Most important, we were well pleased with the quality of the map product that resulted from E&M's efforts, and with the non-dues income it generated for the North State BIA.

Spokane Home Builders Association

"E&M Consulting was a great partner in the production of our Fall Festival of Homes. We had recently made a staffing change and in spite of a compressed timeframe, they were still able to double the builder participation and profitability of the event - increasing the gross revenue by $86,000. We utilized the additional funds to do both a newspaper tab, as well as a full color coffee table publication, doubling our marketing/media efforts for this event. We were amazed at how successful E&M was at involving members who had not participated in Association events for years. Their persistent but professional sales approach was well received by our members. After this experience, we contracted with them to support our Premier Home Improvement Show (they sold a record 153 booths in 3 days) and will have them back for next year's Fall Festival of Homes. I would highly recommend E&M Consulting if your association is looking for outstanding results from your events or publications."

-- Joel White, Executive Officer Parade of Homes

Greater Houston Builders Association

E&M consulting exceeded our expectations for our first development/subdivision map. Their professional sales team came to our office and had the map 90% sold out in the first week. As promised E&M did everything so that my staff could stay focused on other projects. The map was a big hit at our home show and has been very popular with the Realtors and home buying public. In addition the map has been a great promotional piece and the non dues revenue was a welcomed boost to our budget. I would highly recommend E&M Consulting to other Builder Associations looking for quality publications, professional sales and additional non-dues revenue sources.

Pine River Chamber of Commerce

As Executive Director of the Pine River Chamber of Commerce I can tell you that Mr. Epple and his company were a pleasure to work with. We had no problems with sales or set up and the map has received rave review. We are using the map as a fundraiser for our Chamber and have had no trouble selling it. I would recommend E & M Consulting, Inc. to anyone wishing to do such a project.

Home Builder Association of Greater Columbia

"We have done two development maps with E&M consulting with great results. The second edition was even more successful than the first with 95% of the advertisers renewing ads and an increase in the number of developments listed.  E&M handles everything from start to finish including sales, layout, graphic assistance to advertisers and sign offs.  There was no time commitment for our staff.  The map has proven to be very popular with the home buying public and we look forward to the next edition.  I strongly recommend E&M's development map publication to any builder association looking for an excellent tool to promote the association, the home building industry and for additional non-dues revenue."
