As of July 2003, we are pleased to announce the establishment of the APMF Corporate Members program, extending the benefits to our existing advertisers and opening up partnership opportunities to new members.

Corporate members of the Asia Pacific Management Forum demonstrate their commitment to the mission of the APMF and the Asian Business Strategy and Street Intelligence Ezine by our partnership.

Benefits include:

• Recognition of your commitment to the continuous improvement of the profession of management and marketing in the Asia Pacific as reflected in the APMF Mission statement.
• Inclusion of a detailed description of your offerings, contact information and Website URL in our APMF Members page
• Express Press Release or News submissions: Corporate members get preferred and immediate delivery of press releases and news items including URL's to our network of editors and columnists (18 in all), for possible inclusion in columns and editorial. Publication is NOT guaranteed, but is dependent on their relevance to the suitability for the readers of each column or section. In all cases your URL will be included and in almost all cases the copy will be edited to meet the style and theme of the column on that day. News and Press Releases that are informative and provide free authoritative information relevant to readers, have a far greater chance of being incorporated into columns than items that are purely advertising. All members receive a unique email address to ensure direct contact with editors and member program staff.
• Incorporation of your message (and sometimes small image) and linked URL within our featured member boxes throughout the most highly read and relevant pages of the Asian Business Strategy and Street Intelligence Ezine. Your message will reach between 2 and 4 thousand targeted readers daily.
• Free copy of our annual compendium of the Best of the Asian Business Strategy and Street Intelligence Ezine, including 20 pages of exclusive market intelligence from our editors. This electronic publication will be first published in November 2003
• Discounts on registration and sponsorship activities for the APMF Bi-annual conference.
• Short 2 page ads in our newsletters (total subscribership of over 3,000 as of July 2003)
