In addition to networking at WRN Montco monthly luncheons and outside events there are a number of ways members can advertise their services. See our information below on how you can sponsor or advertise your business.
Newsletter
We currently have openings for newsletter sponsors for $25. Our newsletter gets emailed to WRN members every other month as well as a large number of people in the community that like to stay up to date on the happenings of WRN. The newsletter is also sent out via our Facebook and Twitter pages and remains in our newsletter archive on the WRN Montco website for up to a year. Space is available for an ad or small article advertising your business. Please contact Shannon Myers at shannon@waltonsearch.com if you have interest in becoming a sponsor.
Luncheon Sponsor
Being a sponsor for one of our luncheons is a great way to get noticed by our WRN membership and the community. It is your time to shine in front of the entire membership during one of our luncheons. Your information is also prominently mentioned in all of our publications and online promotions including the newsletter and for an additional cost, the main page of the website. The current sponsorship fee is $75 for speaking at the luncheon and listing on Social Media and the newsletter. For an additional $25 we will include your information on the front page of our website the month that you sponsor as well as the Event Calendar page of the website. Your information will remain on the Event Calendar page from the time you pay for sponsorship through the end of 2011. For a copy of our luncheon sponsorship application and details contact Brooke Martin at bmartin@4ncg.com.
“Sponsoring a luncheon gave me the unique opportunity to grab the undivided attention of everyone at the WRN meeting. With 5 minutes instead of 30 seconds, I could describe all the services Infusion Marketing offers and why my company is unique. Afterwards, many people approached me with questions, many starting with, “I didn’t know .” I booked a new client on the spot which paid for my very affordable sponsorship cost – talk about instant ROI! I also received calls in the following weeks referencing the special offer handouts I placed on the table (a privilege reserved for sponsors). Meeting sponsorship is a great way to put your company in the spotlight and educate more people at once. It would have taken me five meetings to get that much information to all 50 ladies individually. As a fellow WRN member and a marketing consultant, I highly recommended it as an easy and cost-effective way to promote your business.” ~Laura Edwards, President, Infusion Marketing
I had the paper before me to sponsor a lunch for the WRN. As everyone else on the face of the planet I am very busy and just wondered if I would have the time and if it would be money well spent. Don’t we all want to get the most bang for our buck? It turned into a very wonderful experience. As a newer member of the WRN I felt that the ladies really did not know me and what my organization was all about. Having the minutes to stand up there and have all eyes on you gives you the opportunity to really get your point across and stress the most important aspect about your service and how you are different. Afterwards the questions came and the interest built and now I feel like a true WRN lady. ~Cathy Paretti, Gallery School of Pottstown & Gallery on High
“Sponsoring the March 2010 luncheon gave me the opportunity to personally go over the value added services that I provide that may not come up in a commercial or sitting at a lunch table. It also allowed the members to get to know me better since I am on the shy side. I would recommend it to anyone, well worth the money.” ~Jane Butler, Accessible Home Health Care
Website Sponsor
We currently have opened the website up for one sponsor a month. Sponsors will receive a page on the website to promote their services as well as a promotion on the main page of our site. Sponsorship on the website is $50 and runs for a minimum period of one month. For more information contact Shannon Myers at shannon@waltonsearch.com.
Member Directory
Once a year we publish a Membership Directory that is given out to all members and distributed to various organizations in areas throughout Montgomery County. Rates for including advertising in the Member Directory are located on the Membership Application found here. The 2011 deadline for inclusion in the Member Directory including advertising has been extended until Monday, February 28th.
No Cost Advertising
In addition to sponsorship and networking one on one with members there are a large number of free ways WRN offers exposure that our membership may take advantage of.
We are always looking for members to join our Outreach Committee and serve as a representative of WRN at various events in the community. We supply members with our organization banner and brochures. This is a great opportunity to display both information about WRN and network for your own business. For more information on joining the Outreach Committee please contact Laura Edwards at laura@infusionmktg.com.
Each member who submits their application prior to February 28, 2011 is automatically included in our printed Member Directory. Our website has both a Membership List and each member has an individual page on our website they are allowed to submit information, links and photos. There are a number of Social Media outlets our members are also allowed to post and share content about their business including our WRN Blog, YouTube Channel, Facebook Page, Twitter and LinkedIn. If you have any questions about these services please contact Shannon Myers.
Sponsors may pay for sponsorship online using this link. Reminder that sponsor packages for luncheons are only available to current members.
