Get ready to be a part of Tradia of Lane County’s (TLC) 2010 marketing campaign!  Our focus, in the spirit of Tradia and barter, is to use the resources we already have to direct cash business to each member's business through a variety of strategic events & activities. We have come up with the best value in marketing your business to both the local community and other TLC members.  Each quarter will feature one of three exciting opportunities for TLC members to participate in:

 

  • · Community Gift Basketsall TLC members can donate gift certificates for their business to be given away in the 5 gift baskets donated each quarter to area local charities to be used in their fund raising efforts.
    • · When you participate in this program, you will receive marketing exposure before, during, and after the fundraiser.  TLC will supply the charity with the necessary promotional tools to market the baskets.  This may include signage, flyers, tickets, etc.  Each will contain a link to the TLC website that will host information about the donors and links to their websites.   Additionally, TLC will submit press releases to local media outlets about the community efforts of TLC members.
    • · This is a great opportunity to show your community involvement and increase your brand awareness in the local economy.
  • · Vendor Showsall TLC members can participate in these vehicles to drive more cash & trade sales to you and gain valuable referrals.  Each quarter, TLC will host a themed vendor show that will be open to the TLC network and public where you can make cash and trade dollar sales.  TLC will allow non-member vendors to participate to help increase the public draw, but not at the discounted cost that the TLC members will enjoy.  By inviting non-member vendors, the TLC members can interact with them while encouraging them to join the network and increase their spending options.  Each theme will focus on an upcoming season of sales promotion.
    • · For instance, the Work & Play show in Feburary will focus on the upcoming summer outdoor recreation and home improvement season.  We would expect to see vendors such as fishing guides, ATV dealers, fencing contractors, BBQ/Hot Tub, Lawn Care, etc as well as all of the TLC members who wish to participate.
  • · Where’s Tradia  this is a great opportunity to meet other members in the network and learn how they can help your business grow.  TLC members are encouraged to gain 10 signatures on an official TLC entrance card from various TLC members as they visit their place of business and learn why they are the best at what they do.  Each entrance card increases their chance at winning a major prize in the quarterly drawing.
