Put your business or organization where your customers are - on their smart phones or tablets. Action Oriented Apps Customers will use an app that lets them get something done. Focus on the strengths of the mobile device. Smart phones are active communication devices. Apps are no place for the brochure-ware of the common business website. There is no better service than self service intelligently enabled.
Native or Web App You need both. We build a native iOS and Android app and an HTML 5 web app for every customer. Native apps stay on your customer's phone much longer than web apps. Native apps can access the camera, web apps cannot. For the mobile visitor to your website, web apps become your mobile web site.

Most associations, organizations and guilds, regardless of their size, have one thing in common, generating enough income to maintain survivability and growth. Current economic factors and the lack of funding programs have placed a burden on the operating budgets, especially with, what we call, subsidiary or second tier associations. For example, all states have large municipal and county associations that represent and serve the majority of city and county governments. The more specific associations for police, fire, clerks, etc., are smaller and most have difficulty in providing adequate income to the association because the major association has solicited most of the potential income sources through fundraising, vendor support and the sale of ancillary products. These types of subsidiary groups, associations and guilds are what we specialize in. Our goal is to provide revenue generating insurance programs they can offer to their members that do not conflict with the larger, more dominant type organizations. Since 1969, The American Insurance Institute has helped generate over One Billion dollars in combined revenue for associations, organizations and guilds in all areas of the government, business and non-profit causes in the United States, Canada, and Western Europe through the use of voluntary life insurance programs throughout their membership. Here is what Mr. Willie Burns, Mayor Emeritus of Washington, Georgia and Executive Director of the Georgia Black Mayors’ Association had to day about our program: “The Black Mayors Association of Georgia is an important and necessary organization representing some 69 mayors and cities in Georgia including: Atlanta, Macon, and Albany. Our problem was our primary source of income came from dues and the rental of booths at our annual convention to various vendors. These Funds derived from this did not allow us to grow or even maintain an office or staff so that we could grow and prosper. The American Marketing Institute responded to our request for help and we are now, in the process of making available to our member cities a voluntary insurance program for their employees, which will generate some $200,000 yearly to our association and fund so many things going forward, I just wish we had known about them years ago.” Our program is “tried and true”. It requires no investment of administrative time or funding from the association, and will generate an income stream well into the future. It is a very simple program and the benefit to the association, in our experience, is huge. Mr. W. Randy Murray, President American Marketing Institute info@americanmarketinginstitute.net
