Business acting as a sales representative for one or more current NAMM Member manufacturers. (Note: If your company distributes or manufactures a product, use a Commercial application.)
Benefits of Belonging
Trade Shows
NAMM’s world-class trade shows in the winter and summer give you the opportunity to put your brand on the global stage, build personal relationships with current and potential customers face-to-face, conduct product demonstrations, provide technical training, network with industry professionals, reach out to media, check out the competition, stay up-to-date on industry happenings and promote your company and products in the show communications. NAMM also offers a free list of registered buyers to all exhibiting companies at its trade shows, which can be a powerful tool in your pre- and post-show campaigns.
Money-Saving Business Services
As a rep in the field, your daily business costs can add up. NAMM’s group-buying power makes it possible to negotiate with companies to provide the most competitive business products and rates possible on many of the services you use every day (link to business services page). Members can also access a health insurance broker service that provides free expert consultation and research to help Members, their employees and their families find the best values.
Market Develpoment Programs
Take an active role in creating more music makers in your community. One way is to opt-in to NAMM-sponsored initiatives (link to initiatives) where you can be on site promoting your brand to a variety of market segments—from the young to the young at heart—nationwide.
Government Relations/Public Affairs Efforts
NAMM gives your company a voice in Washington and lobbies for the issues that affect your business—like import/export laws and music education. NAMM’s advocacy efforts promote the benefits of making music to keep music in schools and create music makers of the future.
NAMM Member Resources
From the statistics and trends presented in the NAMM Global Report Featuring Music 2009 to the association’s PLAYback magazine and PLAYback Digital e-newsletter, NAMM works hard to keep you updated on the music products industry. We’ll also help you plan your show events, provide you with meeting planning assistance and help simplify your hotel reservation process. NAMM’s B2B Standards Committee works with Members to streamline the way the industry does business with a universal technology standard.
Join the Industry—Belong to NAMM
NAMM Membership is exclusive to the select group of companies that manufacture, distribute and/or retail musical instruments/products, sound, pro audio and lighting equipment, and media. On this same note, NAMM trade shows are restricted to "trade only" companies to maintain a focused business environment for our community; they are not open to the public. We invite you to fill out an 
application for Membership.
