For Suppliers & Vendors
Get past the gatekeeper — with a warm introduction.
Participating vendors and subcontractors get exclusive monthly branding, qualified building-professional leads, monthly networking meetings, and sales-liaison services designed to put you directly in front of the decision makers.
What Participation Includes
Four ways we work for you.
Exclusive monthly branding
Your brand appears in The Metropolitan Builder's monthly trade publication, received by virtually every identifiable building professional in the Houston market — plus interior designers who are ASID members.
Company sales liaison services
Your business cards and marketing material are incorporated into the media kits presented to builders during our monthly visits — a personal introduction, not a cold call.
Qualified building-professional leads
Participating vendors and subcontractors are given two to three qualified leads to follow up on directly — building professionals who have agreed in advance to take the call.
Exclusive monthly networking group
A category-exclusive, managed monthly meeting where members pass referrals and open up their books of business connections to help each other grow.
Cover Story & Inside Story Sponsorships
A packet of marketing material worth $3,000–$4,000 — sponsored, not sold.
Each month we meet with two to three building professionals to present the Cover Story and Inside Story opportunities. The professionals selected receive a packet of marketing material compliments of our sponsors, including:
- A 3–4 page professionally written story, laid out to profile their company and run in one issue of the magazine.
- Conversion into a 6-page tri-fold or 4-page bi-fold marketing package.
- A high-resolution PDF of the issue the story ran in, plus a print-ready PDF reprint.
- An interactive digital flip version built for social media marketing.
- 25 hard copies of the issue in which the story ran.
