Lodging Member Benefits
• Join MHLA
Allied
members of MHLA (suppliers, vendors and others who work with
lodging businesses) have a direct pipeline to Missouri’s
growing hospitality industry. The benefits of membership are
many and include networking, education and business
development. MHLA membership opens the door to profitable
opportunities in the new millennium.
Membership
roster: As an allied member, you will have access to
MHLA’s membership roster. You can request this information
on disk, mailing labels, or e-mail.
Networking
with members: Allied members are encouraged to attend
the annual conference of the Missouri Hotel & Lodging
Association. The conference offers an excellent opportunity
to establish and renew relationships with MHLA lodging
members as well as other allied members.
Trade show
participation: A trade show is an integral part of
MHLA’s yearly conference. Allied members receive priority
in booth selection and discounted registration, so they may
best represent their company to lodging members.
Sponsorship
opportunities: Allied members have opportunities to
sponsor conferences, trade shows, workshops and other
special activities hosted by MHLA. Get your name out to your
customers by being active and visible.
Inn Sights
quarterly newsletter: Display advertising in MHLA’s
quarterly newsletter puts your business in the hospitality
industry spotlight. As an allied member, you will qualify
for discounted rates that make it affordable to reach this
vital audience. Inn Sights is distributed to all members of
MHLA as well as to all state lodging associations
nationwide. Business articles and profiles on allied members
are regular features.
Checking In
monthly bulletin: A quick look at developments in
Missouri’s lodging industry is the focus of this
reader-friendly monthly news bulletin. Allied members are
encouraged to submit timely information about their programs
and services for this monthly news bulletin, mailed to all
MHLA members.
Buyers'
Guide: Allied members will be showcased in MHLA's
Buyers' Guide. The guide, distributed to all lodging
members, is a valuable tool for promoting allied members'
products and services.
Web Site -
www.lodgingmissouri.com: Everyone interested in making
new contacts and having better access to their customers is
involved in online marketing. Allied members merit a free
listing describing their product/services on MHLA’s web
site. Also, a link from the MHLA web site to the allied
members’ web site is available.
Legislative
services: Legislation impacts us all. As an allied
member, you will benefit from the governmental consulting
services of MHLA’s registered lobbyist. You will receive
regular updates and be able to participate in a
“legislative day” when MHLA members visit legislators in
the Capitol.
“Members
Only” information: As an MHLA member, you will have
exclusive access to even more timely information and helpful
updates through the “Members Only” section of this web
site.
