Member Business Services

NAMM is always looking for ways to help its Members save time and money. Thanks to the group-buying power of more than 9,000 Members, the association is able to do just that by negotiating with companies to provide the most competitive business products, rates and services possible.

The services NAMM offers are those that most Members use every day to aid them in the successful operation of their businesses. Presently, 40 percent of all NAMM domestic Members are participating in one or more of NAMM's endorsed business service programs—such as bank-card processing, check services and gift cards, shipping and freight services; private-label consumer credit cards; closed-end keyboard consumer financing; workers' compensation; school lease/purchase plans, and NAMM's newest Member benefit: access to health insurance options through Mercer Health & Benefits.

Many of these NAMM programs offer special Member pricing—the savings from which make it the Membership that can literally pay for itself ... and even put money back in the bank! Member companies saved nearly $2 million over this past year by participating in NAMM's endorsed business services.

Check out the following NAMM-endorsed providers to see how they can benefit your bottom line:
