Monetise your association newsletter
Your newsletter reaches a defined, engaged membership who trust it. ZOMZEY connects you with brands who want to reach them, you choose what fits, and you get paid securely.
Every paid collaboration arranged through ZOMZEY should be clearly labelled as an ad, as explained in the Advertising Standards Authority’s guide to making clear that ads are ads.

Your members trust your newsletter. Let's help it earn for the organisation.
An association newsletter holds something brands genuinely want, direct, trusted access to a defined membership with shared interests and real spending power. But selling that access fairly, and finding the right brands, is rarely anyone's main job. ZOMZEY makes it simple. Brands post real, paid opportunities, featured spots, sponsored sections, member offers, and you choose the ones that genuinely fit your members and your organisation.
How it works for association newsletters
It’s simple. Browse opportunities from brands wanting to reach your membership. See one that fits? Make your offer and set your terms, a feature, a sponsored section, a member offer. If they choose you, you include it with the care your members expect, and you get paid securely through the platform. You stay in control, you only ever feature what genuinely serves your members.
What makes ZOMZEY different
On ZOMZEY, you’re valued for the quality and engagement of your membership, not a follower count. Every feature you run builds your verified track record, and the stronger it grows, the higher you rank and the more brands seek you out. Every Member is verified and every deal is funded through ZOMZEY Protected Payments before you start. We built ZOMZEY so member organisations get rewarded fairly for the trusted audiences they steward.

Sponsors for your association newsletter: your questions
Is ZOMZEY free for an association newsletter?
Yes. An association, society or membership body joins free as a Hub, is listed in Discover free and pays commission only when a paid feature completes. Shops and Communities Pro is optional and lowers the commission once you are trading regularly; the pricing page lists every figure.
How is an association newsletter paid on ZOMZEY?
The brand funds the deal under Protected Payments before you send. You include the agreed feature, sponsored section or member offer, upload evidence of the sent issue, and the payment is released to your payout method once the Member approves it within the review window. The written agreement on the deal page settles what was promised.
Does a sponsored feature in an association newsletter need a label?
Yes. A paid feature or member offer is advertising in the UK, so mark it clearly in the issue where members see it, not only in a footer. The ASA and CMA guidance linked above explains what counts, and clear labelling is what protects the trust members place in an association newsletter.
What should an association newsletter charge?
Price by members reached, open rate and the position of the feature: a headline sponsor, a sponsored section, a member offer or a dedicated send, each with a clear description and a price on your rate card. A defined professional membership is worth more to the right brand than general reach, so say who your members are.
What evidence does an association newsletter upload?
A link to the web version of the issue or a dated screenshot showing the feature and its label, and the figures the offer promised, such as sends, opens or clicks after the agreed period. Evidence lives on the deal page, so approval is against what you both agreed rather than from memory.
How does an association newsletter attract the right sponsors?
Describe your membership honestly by sector and role, show past features in your showcase, connect your accounts so your figures are validated, and keep your rate card current. Every completed deal adds a review and lifts your Star tier, which is what brands compare when they choose an association newsletter to sponsor.
Can an association keep its editorial independence?
Yes. You decide what you publish, you label what was paid for, and you never sell an endorsement. Most associations keep sponsored content to a clearly marked section so that the rest of the association newsletter reads exactly as members expect, and many check the brand against their own sponsorship policy first.
What if a sponsor changes the brief after I accept?
Changes are agreed on the deal page and recorded next to the original terms, so nothing changes until you both say so. If the new ask is more work, quote for it before you agree; an association newsletter stays in control when the record is kept in one place.
In short, an association newsletter earns on ZOMZEY when the sponsor fits the members and the payment is protected. ZOMZEY brings the brands to you, records the deal and holds the money until you have delivered.
