Who is Meridian One Corporation?

Meridian One Corporation is the leader in the association affinity program marketplace. A privately owned corporation founded in Alexandria, Virginia in 1986, Meridian One administers member benefit programs for over 500 professional and trade associations in the United States and Canada. Meridian One creates value by securing long term agreements with well-known, respected companies that supply products and services to the small business community. Meridian One then works with trade and professional associations, which in turn endorse the company’s products and services to its members.

 

Why choose Meridian One to manage our benefit programs?

Is Meridian One a reseller or rebiller?

How does Meridian One market these programs?

Meridian One, in collaboration with both its association and program partners, develops and funds all marketing of its programs with the goal of generating awareness and member usage of the program. Our marketing team works to create collateral, including print ads, banner ads, direct mail pieces, HTML emails and e-newsletter content, and obtains approval from our program partners. All materials are co-branded with the association and prorgram logos and stress the benefit of membership, particularly the exclusive savings offers that members can receive.

 

We also stress post-sales customer retention. Meridian One offers a carefully planned customer contact strategy that includes satisfaction surveys, cross-marketing and ongoing contact from our highly trained call center.

 

What kind of income can my association generate?

Residual income is available on most Meridian One programs. Percentages are typically based on volume generated by participating members. For specifics, we encourage you to contact a Meridian One representative.
