 MMAC - Member Marketing Activity Center

IIABA's Member Marketing Activity Center is new marketing tool for member agents to help them grow their business in ways they may have never thought to ask for—prospecting, leads, direct mail, cross-selling, newsletters and agency management tools. There is something for everyone in your agency.

Access powerful prospecting databases to identify potential new customers. Utilize the customized direct mail campaign service to reach those prospects. Take advantage of a referral-based marketing system. MMAC is designed with one purpose in mind; help our member agents increase their marketing effectiveness while saving money!

• ProspectNOW: This new prospecting tool enables you to identify both personal lines and commercial prospects, offering thousands of criteria combinations and the ability to get very specific results. The commercial search allows you to use SIC codes to pin-point the business sectors you would like to market to.
   
• LeadsNOW: Let's face it. Do-Not-Call lists, expensive yellow-page and newspaper ads and costly telemarketing makes it harder to market personal lines of insurance. Have leads delivered to you by email or phone number. Our service will even make the first call for you, at no extra cost.
   
• PostcardsNOW: Customize postcards online and send them directly to a specific mailing list. Use a list of your clients or of prosects and leads you got on MMAC.
   
• EmailNOW: No special technical skills needed. Creating an email campaign is easy through this service, with several professional designed templates.
   
• CrossSellNOW: Referral-based marketing is the most powerful type of marketing you can use. It is easier and less costly to sell another line of business to an existing customer than it is to find and sell to a new one. Plus the more lines of insurance a customer has with you the more likely they are to keep their business with you. Tools include sample scripts and direct mailing pieces to send through DirectMailNOW.
   
• RetainNOW: Gaining new business is one thing, but keeping them on your books is another. Here you will find useful articles and techniques that you can implement into your retention efforts including newsletters written and reviewed by insurance professionals.
   
• PromosNOW: Promotional products are great for advertising your agency at trade shows, in client packets or any other way you see fit.
   
• ManageNOW: Staying on top of agency management issues can be a daunting task. With the ManageNOW service, you can tap into a comprehensive online archive of webinars and audio/video presentations with top consultants and agents sharing their knowledge on topics designed to help you better manage your agency.
