Benefits of GEM Membership
When choosing membership to any group, it is important to look at what you get. The international moving industry is a tough place and by becoming a GEM Mover it makes it easier! As a member of the Global Exclusive Movers’ Network, you will receive:
Exclusivity
This is huge! In other groups there are countless competitors in your location and this makes it hard to get noticed and also difficult to build mutual business partnerships. When there is more than one mover in an area, other network partners chop and change between those members and it takes a long time to build solid mutual business. As a GEM Mover, you will be the only member in your city. Less competition means more business and a smaller close knit group means more trust and better relations.
Advertising
GEM produces a monthly magazine for its members. Advertising in this digital publication is absolutely free and unlimited for the duration of membership. This saves you a fortune and gives you exposure to a wide reading audience of both moving companies globally, industry partners and potential customers.
Member Rewards
Earn discounts on your renewals each year with our great member incentives which save you money and help encourage activity within the group.
Marketing Advice
Each month we give our members essential marketing advice in our monthly column Marketing Movements. This marketing advice is tailor-made for medium-sized movers, moving industry related and easy to implement. It helps you get ahead!
Price Smart Fees
Every member pays 595 USD for their 1st year and then 995 USD for each year after. This makes it easy to make a fast return on your investment. Also, if you consider that you get unlimited free advertising for this in a publication that has a large reading audience, it means that our membership fees are not just smart, they are GENIUS!
Are you asking yourself why you aren’t a member yet? You should be!
Great Price
Membership fees and getting the most from them! When you pay membership fees it is important that your money doesn’t go to waste. No one wants to be just a name on a list. Our fees are price smart! We offer everyone a first year special price which makes it easy for you to quickly make a return on your investment. And guess what? That’s not all. The GEM Network team are at hand to increase your international moving industry presence. As our exclusive member you get unlimited, free, monthly advertising in The GEM Movers’ Magazine.
