BLP Creative Studio

    Associations

    Help your members grow, and in return, your association gets a kickback.

    BLP Creative Studio partners with local associations, chambers, industry groups, and community organisations. Every member you refer gets access to discounted pricing, priority time, and the full BLP membership experience. Your association gets recurring sponsorship revenue. Everyone wins.

    How the Program Works

    1

    Your Association Refers a Member

    You invite your member to join the BLP Creative Studio Annual Community Membership. There is no sales pitch required on your part. We provide you with a referral link, a one-page member brief, and all the talking points you need. Your member signs up directly through BLP's booking system.

    Your Member Gets VIP Benefits

    Your member receives the full membership package: discounted pricing on all studio services, priority booking access, and their business featured on the in-studio billboard.

    BLP Sponsors Your Association

    For every active member your association has referred, BLP Creative Studio pays your association a direct sponsorship contribution. This payment recurs every year that member renews. The more members you refer, the more sponsorship revenue your association receives annually.

    Full Membership Benefits — for Every Member You Refer

    Every member referred by your association receives the complete BLP Annual Community Membership — exactly the same benefits as any direct member. No reduced tier, no limitations.

    15% off all studio rental bookings (hourly, half-day, full-day)
    15% off all production services — video, photography, social media
    15% off all add-on services — editing, creative direction, consultation
    Priority booking window — 48 hours before public availability
    First access to new studio spaces and services as they launch
    One free booking reschedule per session (24-hr notice required)
    Featured business listing on the BLP in-studio billboard
    Listed in the BLP Creative Studio member directory (online + in-studio)
    Invitations to member-only studio events and launch nights
    First access to Billings Founders podcast series sponsorship slots

    Members referred by an association join at standard membership rates. The $300 sponsorship is paid by BLP Creative Studio to the association - it does not reduce the member's fee or reduce any of their benefits.

    Who This Program Is Built For

    The BLP Creative Studio Association Program is designed for any organisation in the Billings and Montana area that serves a community of local businesses, professionals, or creators.

    • Local chambers of commerce and business associations
    • Industry-specific professional associations (real estate, healthcare, food, sport, finance)
    • Non-profit organisations supporting small business development
    • Community groups with entrepreneurial or creative members
    • Education institutions with alumni or business networks
    • Faith communities with small business or professional members
    • Re-entry and workforce development organisations

    If your organisation supports people who build things, create things, or run businesses in Billings — this program is for you.

    What Your Association Receives

    Recurring Sponsorship Revenue

    Every active member your association refers generates annual sponsorship revenue, paid directly to your association. This recurs every year they renew — building into a reliable, predictable income stream the longer your members stay active.

    Your Association Featured in the Studio

    Partner associations are recognised in the BLP Creative Studio space — your organisation's name and logo displayed alongside the members you have referred. Every person who walks in sees that your association is part of Billings' creative community.

    A Real Benefit to Offer Your Members

    Membership programs live and die by the value they deliver. By partnering with BLP Creative Studio, your association gives members access to professional video, photography, podcast, and content production services at 15% below market rate — a tangible, usable benefit for any business-owning member.
