NBA membership benefits

Business listing on the NBA website
Our website traffic keeps growing because more and more locals are relying on us for information on places and events.  Take a minute now to make sure our directory has correct information on your business.  If you have new information, a logo, or anything you want to change on your listing, just e-mail us at [email protected].

Promotion on NBA social media
Members can use our Facebook Page, Facebook Group,  and Instagram to let locals know what's going on at your business and promote events and news. As a member, you are free to make business-related posts in the group.
On your social media, be sure to tag us @NarberthOnline for re-posts and stories.

Bring in new people by hosting a scavenger hunt
If you’d like hundreds of families with children to walk in the door of your downtown location, our scavenger hunts are perfect.  Be a host location for one of our annual scavenger hunts, and get your promotional materials or coupons in the hands of 500+ local families in one afternoon.  If you don’t have a downtown location, talk to us about setting up a “satellite” location downtown for the afternoon

Place a banner ad on our website
Banner ads are available to members on our website for promotion 24/7.

Sponsorship opportunities at events
All members get special pricing for any of our events, promotions and advertising opportunities.  You may not want foot traffic from a scavenger hunt, but there are other ways for your business to benefit from our events.  Our smallest events draw hundreds of local families downtown, and our largest attracted thousands of locals in one afternoon.  This is targeted, direct marketing, offered to members at an incredible price.  Put your message in front of your community on a brochure, coupon, mug, banner, or sign at an NBA event, or use your imagination for a unique idea.

Offer your location as an activity site for an NBA event
If your non-retail downtown storefront is typically closed on weekends, consider opening it up for an Association activity during an event.  One new connection that day could make it all worth it

Use First Fridays to connect
No matter what your business is, if you consistently stage an activity, the crowd will find you.  Use your imagination, and ask your fellow members for ideas.  Start with First Friday in May, which is generally our biggest of the year. 

Network with other members
Connect with other professionals at NBA meetings, as part of working committees, and at our social events.  Make sure we all know who you are and what you offer! ​

Meet the community by being a volunteer
Every event offers opportunities to interact with hundreds of local families in attendance.  These are potential customers, who need to know your name and your face.

Bring your ideas to our meetings
We meet several times throughout the year, and switch between mornings and evenings.  Meet fellow members, and bring your new ideas to the group.  ​

​Stay in Touch with Borough News
The Borough makes an effort to communicate with our organization when there is news we need to have. Once you are part of our email list, you'll alwys have the latest info.
