Business Development & Marketing Opportunities
Advertising and sponsorship with the Home Builders Association of Central Arizona puts your brand directly in front of the people who matter most to your business. Below you'll find details on the HBACA's Business Development & Marketing Opportunities, including dates and estimated pricing for events, publications, sponsorships, and advertising opportunities offered throughout the year.
Advertising
HBACA has two publications – HBACA Builder & Associate Services Directory and NewsBuilder. Both are sent to our entire membership, and each offers a unique way for you to promote your company to potential customers. Want to be seen by thousands of building industry professionals each month? Digital advertising on the HBACA website will support your brand, increase awareness, and attract visitors to your website.
The Home Builders Association of Central Arizona (HBACA) Builder & Associate Services Directory, is the only residential construction directory of its kind in Metro Phoenix and throughout Central Arizona, including Maricopa, Pinal and Yavapai counties. This business-to-business publication is the most powerful tool that reaches all our members and decision makers within each member company. Members use the directory year-round to find other members to do business with, making advertising in the directory a smart move for any company. Advertising in the Directory is open to members only. If you are not a member, consider joining the association to be included in this popular publication.
The NewsBuilder is the HBACA’s official newsletter. Every two weeks this publication is emailed to the entire membership full of event notifications, legislative and municipal updates, housing market research, safety information, legal articles, and local and national industry news.
Newsletter Sponsorship
Sponsorship — $850 / month (2 issues)
- Banner ad in the NewsBuilder email body (660 x 80px)
- Full page ad in the PDF NewsBuilder (8.5 x 11 no bleed)

Member Focus: Feature your company for FREE in the NewsBuilder
The Member Focus is an article we include in each NewsBuilder from various members who want to get the word out about their company, its services and products, or staff changes. Articles are published on a first-come, first-served basis; time-sensitive information is not ideal. It is a way to introduce your company to the membership and let them know more about you and what you do. A Member Focus article is free to each member once per year. All you have to do is submit a company profile of no more than 1,000 characters and your logo.
$1000 - per year
With nearly 20,000 yearly users and 80,000 + page views, web ads are the way to get your company noticed. Web ads are one of the most important methods of attracting visitors to your website, and allow you to support your brand, get builders to remember your company name – increase awareness, and visually imprint your image on the minds of builders and other industry professionals. There are a maximum of 5 spots available that rotate on the HBACA home page.
Business Development Events
HBACA hosts numerous business development and networking events throughout the year to give you the opportunity to make a positive impact with potential clients and business partners. Each offers opportunities for you to create company awareness through sponsorships. Building these important events into your budget can help you deliver your company’s message.
The Southwest Builders Show (SWBS) hosted in October is one of the largest shows for builders and building industry suppliers in the Southwest region. Brought to you by the Home Builders Association of Central Arizona (HBACA), the Southwest Builders Show is a one-of-a-kind investment.

The Southwest Builders Show annually attracts representatives from leading home builders in the Southwest. This is the one place where top organizations come to see the latest products, building techniques, management and construction tools available in today’s marketplace.
Held annually in the fall, the HBACA’s annual Sticks & Bricks Tournament provides members with a terrific opportunity for networking in the great Arizona outdoors!
