PNWGFA 2007 Directory Advertising - Attention
Advertisers
It’s time to
assemble the PNWGFA 2007 Annual Directory.
We will be making
a few changes to this issue of the Directory.
We will be listing all members operating in the PNW, as well
as, all Non-Members.
This should make the Directory a much better tool for our
members who rely on the contact numbers, names and e-mail address
listed within.
The
BIGGEST change that will
occur is on the back cover!
For the first time
in 12 years the back cover
of our Directory will be open to PNWGFA Members for bid.
The back cover is one of the most prominent spaces for
Advertisers to make their mark. We
will be holding a Blind (or sealed bid) Auction for this prominent
advertising space.
How
the Auction works:
The Auction
is only open to members of the Pacific Northwest Grain & Feed
Association. The back
cover will be a full color Advertisement and the bidding will start at
$875. Deadline
for bids is October 20th.
Those interested in reserving this space should send in their
advertising contract and bid for the back cover.
On October 20th the company with the highest bid
will win the spot. I will
announce the winner in the following issue of our NewsBulletin and on
our Webpage.
(Starting
in June 2007 we will incorporate the Back Cover Auction into our
Annual June Membership Meeting. The Bids will be opened at the
Conference and the winner announced at the Thursday evening
Reception.)

here for your copy of the 2007
Advertising Contract. I will also be mailing the contract to
all of our past Advertisers.
