Cut Costs With These Exciting New AARA Member Benefits

By Colin Sheehan, RCS Reporter. 

From marketing to shipping, AARA knows how to treat its members. 

Cutting operational costs in the midst of an already flowing business is a worthy but often demanding and time-consuming challenge. Alberta Allied Roofing Association (AARA) recognizes this and partnered with Savings4Members to bring AARA members the additional support and benefits they deserve to make cutting costs painless.  

Below is a comprehensive list of some of the new member benefits available to all AARA members. 

Email marketing 

Enjoy a free 60-day trial and explore the features of the email marketing and online survey tools. This free 60-day trial comes without the hassle. There are absolutely no obligations and no credit cards required. There is also no internet-slowing software to download. 

Additional benefits include: 

• 20% off 6 pre-paid months 

• 25% off 12 pre-paid months 

• Contact management  

• Customizable templates 

• User friendly drop-and-drag editing

Uniforms   

AARA members can build their brand with a full-service uniform program. Order apparel, safety gear and office supplies customized for your business from more than 35,000 brandable SKUs. UniFirst Facility Service Solutions will handle pickup, delivery, laundering, maintenance and ordering. 

During this time of the COVID-19 pandemic, UniFirst can help lower housekeeping costs and enhance cleaning solutions. They will come to your place of business on a regular schedule to replace soiled floor mats, old mops and other products with new, clean ones. 

Additional benefits include: 

• Coast-to-coast coverage 

• Easy re-stock for cleaning and safety supplies

Check guarantee 

Save even more time by accepting checks virtually from any customer and ditch the bank fees or extra collections through United TrazActions (UTA). Since 1991, UTA has been the industry leader in check guarantee services and AATA members have access to the highest floor limits with automatic approvals. Now you can deposit your checks knowing they are fully guaranteed. 

Shipping  

Did you know that shipping is the third or fourth highest expense for an independent business? Now AARA members have the ability to cut this large expense and access pre-negotiated rates on national and international shipments through Lamprey Systems.  

Worry less and focus on managing your business by letting Lamprey take care of shipping. Lamprey will submit claims for inaccurately billed shipments of service failures for you. With no additional effort, you could see immediate reductions on your FedEx/UPS expenses today.  

Additional benefits include:  

• Save per package and get credited for late shipments by FedEx and UPS 

• Track ground, air and international shipments 

• No long-contracts, minimums, or additional fees 

• Get access to a no-cost evaluation of your current shipping operations
