SPAN's `Partner Program`
At the request of several regional publishers’ associations, we have launched a `Partner Program` that offers substantial savings. Instead of the usual $95 annual membership fee, those who belong to the following organizations can now join SPAN for only $60. That’s a $35 savings! And we’ll save you lots more...on freight, small package shipments, office supplies, publisher’s liability insurance, and more! Our current Partners are:
To take advantage of the reduced $60 Partner Program rate, simply go to the membership form and indicate which `qualifying organization` when you join.
Q. Why should I join SPAN if I'm a member of PMA (Publishers Marketing Association)?
If you are serious about your publishing business, you should make the investment to join both organizations. Knowledge is power. The more you know about the publishing industry the more you can make it work for you!
Our newsletter constantly receives rave reviews for the useful money-making, money-saving content. Many people have commented that it alone is worth the annual dues. SPAN also offers its members a unique benefit: up to a whopping 60% discount on freight shipments. This savings goes right to your bottom line. We also save you money on many products and services you need regularly. (See Membership Benefits)
Q. Is the money it costs to join SPAN really well spent?
If you're in the publishing game--or you are an author with a book out--you won't find a better investment for $95. For about 27¢ a day you have at your disposal guidance from the leaders in this industry. You have ongoing, tangible, specific information you can use to make money on your books. As Marva Collins observed, `Success doesn't come to you . . . you go to it.`
Q. How much does it cost to join SPAN and how can I become a member?
