ASSOCIATIONS AND ORGANIZATIONS
Let UPS Simplify
Association Management
Improve organizational efficiency and offer
more value to your members
Association and organization executives face increasingly complex
challenges in meeting growth goals and balancing needs of members.
Today, you handle membership acquisition and retention. You projectmanage the next trade show or event. You run daily operations. You do
more work with less — less budget, fewer resources. Different days, you
wear different hats. You stay busy.
What if a transportation provider could help you …
• Streamline order processing and save staff time?
• Improve attendee and exhibitor trade show experience?
• Lower the cost of mailings to existing and prospective members?
• Offer member discounts on UPS package and freight shipping
and The UPS Store® business services?
Speed shipment preparation
UPS enables you to provide fast and focused
fulfillment, whether you ship new member
kits, sell products through your e-commerce
site, or offer printed training materials
to members.
Integrate WorldShip® with your company’s
existing IT system to make better use of
customer data and to reduce shipment
processing times. WorldShip gives you access
to all UPS shipping services and lets you
generate shipping labels and other forms
at the same time you keep track of shipping
history. You can reduce repetitive, error-prone
key entries. WorldShip even captures billing
information, making accounting faster and
more efficient.
With WorldShip, you can easily set up
Quantum View® email notifications to give
you and your customers status updates and
the arrival times of shipments. That means
fewer “where’s my order” calls … and enables
you to improve customer service for your
members.
Improve trade show logistics
Have you considered making UPS the Official
Show Carrier of your trade show? Exhibitors
can enjoy special group discounts for inbound
and outbound shipments to a show. UPS also
offers flexible outbound shipping solutions
for content collected by attendees at a
show site.
UPS logistics experts are always prepared
to help you meet shipping deadlines for your
exhibitors. Whether shipments need to speed
to an advance warehouse or direct to a show
site, UPS can handle it all … from pop-up
exhibit containers to large pallets of freight.
Our cost-effective network can get shipments
across the country or across borders. Wherever
you ship, our experienced representatives
simplify things locally to help you manage
shipping to or from major trade show cities.
Even under the tightest deadlines, you
can depend on UPS reliability, flexibility
and shipment visibility to manage trade
show logistics.

Reduce bulk mail costs
UPS Mail Innovations® relies on our extensive
network and a unique program with the U.S.
Postal Service® (USPS) to cut the costs
of shipping flat mail, media mail, bound
printed matter, and parcels that weigh
less than one pound.
Since UPS performs functions like labeling
and sorting normally handled by USPS,
we’re able to pass along reduced rates
to you. If you’re shipping internationally,
we have similar programs set up with postal
authorities around the globe.
Increase membership value
with UPS shipping discounts
A well-designed affinity program can add
to the value of your association membership.
This, in turn, can help drive new membership
and boost member retention.
UPS affinity programs include:
• Member discounts on UPS package and
freight shipping.
• Volume-based discount tiers. (The more
members ship, the more they can save.)
• A ssociation royalties based on
member shipping.
• Special trade show shipping programs
for show exhibitors.
