Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of being an EVIMA member?

As a dues-paying EVIMA member, you and your business will be promoted in neighborhood-wide marketing, and you will be able to access member services, participate in our merchant community, and join our advocacy efforts.

I thought I was already an EVIMA member. Do I have to join again?

We haven’t defined membership super strictly in the past. Now, we're asking merchants to officially join or renew their memberships and pay a significantly reduced annual membership fee of just $12. (For comparison, other merchant associations can charge hundreds of dollars a year.)

My business is located outside of the East Village (14th St to Houston, Bowery/3rd Avenue to Avenue D). Can I still join?

Unfortunately, no. We’re focused on the independent merchants in the East Village.
