Why Host an ABA Night Out?
When you host a networking mixer, you aren't just holding an event—you are gaining an exclusive marketing window.
-
Exclusive Foot Traffic: Bring dozens of qualified industry decision-makers directly through your doors to experience your showroom, facility, or office space firsthand.
-
Targeted Spotlight: Enjoy dedicated marketing promotion leading up to the event across the ABA website, email newsletters, and social media channels.
-
The Floor is Yours: Take the mic during the event to introduce your team, pitch your latest products or services, and share your company’s story.
-
Build Lasting Partnerships: Strengthen relationships with existing clients and meet new prospects in a relaxed, social atmosphere that encourages organic business growth.
-
The Ultimate Recruitment Tool: These mixers are the perfect, low-pressure environment to invite your business contacts, subcontractors, and vendors who aren't members yet. By bringing them along, you give them a first-hand look at the strength of our network, allowing them to build relationships with other local owners and immediately experience the tangible benefits of joining the ABA.
Bring a Guest, Build the Association
A thriving association means more resources, stronger advocacy, and more business opportunities for everyone in the room. We encourage all members to use the ABA Night Out as an open door for prospective members. If you work with a trusted supplier, an exceptional trade contractor, or a local service provider who would benefit from our community, invite them to the next mixer as your guest.
There is no better way to show someone the value of an ABA membership than letting them experience our network in action, make vital connections, and see how our community helps businesses grow.
What Does a Host Provide?
To make your ABA Night Out a success, hosts are responsible for creating a welcoming, hospitable environment. The formula is simple:
-
The Venue: A space large enough to comfortably accommodate our members (your office, showroom, shop, or a partnered local venue).
-
Food & Refreshments: Light appetizers, finger foods, and a selection of beverages (beer, wine, sodas, and water) to keep the conversation flowing.
-
Door Prizes (Optional but Recommended): Drawing a few raffle tickets at the end of the night guarantees high engagement and keeps attendees excited to stay until the very end.
