Partner Testimonials

"NBIA has developed a suite of partner services designed to help us attract new customers, better cultivate our existing incubator relationships, and reduce the time between our first contact with prospects to our first sale. The NBIA Partner Program offers us a uniquely economical and effective way to reach and expand our target market: business incubators and their client companies." —Greg Bean, President, Cybergroup, Inc.

NBIA’s Partner Program

Through the Partner Program, companies and organizations develop an alliance with NBIA to provide products and services that are beneficial to NBIA’s members (and, if applicable, their client and graduate companies).

Typically, NBIA is looking for exclusive offers – deals that our members could not find elsewhere. In return, NBIA has identified several marketing vehicles to extend our Partners' reach to our members. The greatest benefits NBIA offers to its Partners are access to our members and their client companies and NBIA’s willingness to actively promote and market the Partner’s product/service year round.

As an NBIA Partner, you will be recognized as a sponsor of our annual International Conference on Business Incubation. Conference sponsorship offers an invaluable opportunity to talk face-to-face with our members and reinforce the messages NBIA transmits year-round.

For more information on the Partner Program, contact Billie Handa, Director of Development, at 740.593.1892 or bhanda@nbia.org

NBIA’s Commitment to our Partners

  • NBIA typically will not enter into Partner agreements with direct competitors of previous established partner companies.
  • NBIA will issue press releases to announce the partnership to be distributed via our contracted media relations company. NBIA also will provide the press release to the Partner Company for its own promotion.
  • The Partner Company will be listed on NBIA’s Partner Program section of its Web site. The introductory page will describe the Partner with a link to a detailed company profile. This profile will introduce the organization, specify the benefits for NBIA members and their clients, and inform members how to purchase the company’s services.
  • Partner Companies will be included in the rotation of NBIA Partners in the “Member Benefits Spotlight” section on NBIA’s Web site.
  • Partner Companies will have the opportunity to send two (2) joint marketing appeals per year to NBIA members on behalf of themselves and NBIA. ($600 value)
  • NBIA will include a half-page (5 x 8) profile of the Partner Company’s products and services in its New Member Packet.
  • Further promotion includes the following complimentary advertising opportunities in NBIA publications:
    • One full-page insert in the NBIA Review, a bimonthly, hardcopy newsletter. ($1,210 value)
    • A 1/6-page advertisement in the NBIA Review ($263 value)
    • An advertisement in the eReview, NBIA’s bimonthly electronic member newsletter (published in opposite months of the NBIA Review). ($350 value)
