"We are so pleased with our Membership Directory.  The layout was great and you did a wonderful job soliciting advertisers; it is double from the previous marketing company we used last year.  Our non-dues revenue was thousands more than in the past.  You and your staff were so easy to work with, and your attention to detail was impressive.  Thanks again and I look forward to working with you in the future."

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

Building Industry Association of Lancaster County

"We used E & M for the first time this year to produce our Membership Directory. What a shock when I received notice that we will increase our income from the previous vendor by 10X. They came to Lancaster to our office for 2 days and started the marketing and followed up for the next two months from their office. We have been very pleased with their efforts and professionalism."

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

Thanks ever so much again for all your hard work on what was our finest Premier Home Improvement Show in our 10 year history!  Vendors, Board, & the Staff alike would truly agree that it was absolutely phenomenal!  A full show, a gorgeous program, beautiful ads, & a fantastic website all resulted in hundreds of appreciative vendors, sponsors, and members…  You cannot imagine how grateful I am to you all… the thanks for your passion and dedication to our Industry can never be truly expressed to fully satisfy its depth & meaning….We were 20% up on Friday over our best (’08) and we almost beat ’08 on Sunday (just barely!).  And as a result, the blessed sun on Saturday stole our chances of beating attendance from last year…  it was the first really beautiful sunny day in 8 months…

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."
