Custom Research Solutions (CRS) cordially invites you to utilize our services to research, identify, contact and prepare our findings of potential untapped membership contacts in local businesses, non-profit organizations, area associations, chambers of commerce and professional organizations.

Project Goal:

Increase your organizations membership by focusing on previously untapped areas or individuals not reached by current campaigns:

	Small Business Associations
	Local Associations
	Non-Profits
	Chambers of Commerce
	Alumni Associations
	Area Businesses (Small, Medium and Large)

Scope of Project:

Identify and contact all of the relevant Business Associations, Small, Medium and Large Business’, Non-Profits and Chambers of Commerce within the communities that make up the designated Organization or Association. Research them. Identify the organization and businesses in each community that would have a need to be educated on your membership benefits. Find out how they work. Do they have meetings or professionals in need of assistance? Are the organizations open to the public? Can non-members attend? Do they ever have outside speakers? If so, how does one apply to speak? Do they have a mailing list of their members? If so, is this list available for rental? For businesses find out who the professionals are of interest to your organization. Do they belong to any other professional associations? Does there company support them being involved in associations? Are they interested in being contacted about membership benefits?

Work with the local chapter. Find out if they or any member of their chapter are a member of other local organizations? If so, do they serve on other boards? If so, would they be willing to serve as an entrée to the organization? Contact these members and work with them.

Coordinate with the designated contacts for the chapter at the outset of the project. Keep them informed of CRS progress throughout the project. Then coordinate again at the conclusion of the project to present CRS findings in a final written report.
