Membership Information
The Munce Group has become the largest—and for the last fifteen years—the fastest growing Christian marketing group, serving over 600 retailers nationwide! Despite the fact that there are 800 fewer Christian bookstores in the industry today than there were five years ago, the Munce Group as an organization still continues to grow. We believe this is because of our reputation for achieving the highest results from our marketing materials at the best possible price.
We provide support to retailers in our industry by offering value pricing, superior marketing, and excellent service, but even more important is how we lift each other up in prayer and spiritual support. Retailers that become members join more than a marketing group; they are adopted into a family—a large family at that! We would love to have the opportunity to serve you.
Membership is simple
At the Munce Group, we know that every retailer’s location, demographics and store type are unique. That is why we offer a program that has very few requirements along with a wide variety of optional services ready and waiting to be tailored to your store’s needs. The only requirements for membership are a one-time $200 sign-up fee and your commitment to use at least 1,000 catalogs for spring and 1,000 catalogs for Christmas. We do not have any annual fees or hidden charges.
Catalogs and flyers are unique
The Munce Group catalogs are extremely unique and effective in several ways. First, all catalog products are reviewed by a board of retailers to make sure that we advertise items that retailers want and need. Second, all of our full-size catalogs feature articles, artist/author interviews and special features to help you connect with your customers. Third, our full-size pieces have an outline of God's plan of salvation based on “Romans Road.” We do this because our goal is to communicate the heart of your store along with the product you have to offer. We offer 12-16 unique catalog or flyer promotions each year to help you do just that.
Programs and services are beneficial
Other membership benefits include access to our “members-only” tradeshow, participation in a buying co-op that will provide additional terms and discounts for your store, a bi-monthly e-newsletter, a telephone On-Hold system, and discounts on things like business insurance, distributor services, websites, credit card processing equipment, and more. And at our members-only tradeshow Christian Product Expo (CPE), we have educational seminars on things such as cash-flow management, inventory control, creating customer loyalty, and merchandising.
Members are family
We provide support to retailers in our industry by offering value pricing, superior marketing, and excellent service, but what is more important is that we lift each other up in prayer and spiritual support. Our mission statement is “to provide our member retailers with the highest quality Christian materials and to equip believers for the work of the ministry.” I would be honored to make that mission come alive for you and your store. Retailers who join our group enter into more than a marketing group, they are adopted into a family—a large family at that!
