With the help of our experienced content strategists, editors, and writers, your member magazines, marketing materials, press releases, blogs, social media, and other communications will give your target audiences something to talk about.
Account Management
Careful management of your program directly impacts the success of content sales. YGS assigns an account manager to act as a liaison between your internal team and your team at YGS. This model allows for access to collaborative strategy sessions, instant feedback, dashboards, and reporting expertise. Your account manager has a constant pulse on your account through communication with the team and in-depth analysis. Equipped with this data, we make recommendations that will put your revenue on an upward trend.
Specialty & Large-Format Graphics
When your brand needs to make a big and lasting impression, our specialty and large-format graphics are sure to turn heads. From banners and posters with rich colors; to visually stunning wall, window, and floor graphics; to trade show and exhibition displays and banners; interior décor; and anything we can imagine together, our state-of-the-art customized solutions will meet your objectives—on time, on budget, and on brand.
Marketing Automation Portal
When it comes to made-to-order marketing, our MAP technology can support even the largest associations in producing custom marketing materials that are brand-consistent. With just a few clicks from a secure, browser-based portal, this web-to-print solution also offers digital asset management, resource allocation, budget control, inventory monitoring, and an approval process to ensure quality.
Lead Research
Our CRM has over 250,000 contacts from companies of all sizes across the globe. When we find a sales opportunity or are provided with a list of accolade winners, we first look to our CRM for who to approach for licensing. If we don’t have a contact readily available, our team of researchers uses tools like Zoom Info and LinkedIn to determine who the sales team should be reaching out to at each organization to talk about licensing opportunities.
