Rely Local Arvada
David Walter
RelyLocal was born in response to the economic problems that have plagued our country. The idea for RelyLocal was very simple - empower local business owners to stabilize their local economy, while educating residents on the important role that local business plays in the overall health of the community. The company began with three main goals; 1) To provide new, locally-driven, cost-effective marketing resources to small businesses, 2) To develop a grass roots campaign, uniting business owners and residents in a fight for the economic health of their community, and 3) To create as many new jobs across the country as possible. At RelyLocal's core is a powerful, location-specific online directory devoted to locally owned and operated businesses. In addition to the website's core feature set of maps, photos, reviews, job-board and coupons, local businesses are promoted through search engine marketing, social media platforms, co-op advertising, old- fashioned networking, and locally driven grass roots campaigns. RelyLocal jokingly refers to this approach as "Word of Mouth Marketing 2.0".
Excited to be a part of this growing campaign, David Walter says, "After experiencing a long lay-off myself, and understanding the struggles that local businesses are going through just to keep their doors open, I was excited to find RelyLocal as a viable answer to solving some real problems. In a downturn, the first thing most companies cut is advertising, but in many ways it's the most important aspect of your business. RelyLocal allows businesses to continue to get the word out about themselves, without breaking the bank!"
David can be found in and around Arvada, drumming up business for local insurance agents, caterers, tailors, barbers, restaurants and printers. RelyLocal Arvada can be found at www.relylocal.com/colorado/arvada. Let David know you saw his article in the Grand Views! |

Ambassador of the Month
 Pat Schassburger
The Trump NetworkPat chose to leave the corporate world of public relations for an opportunity in the health and wellness industry. Pat joined The Trump Network as an independent marketer in October 2009, just prior to the official launch of the company in November 2009. The Trump Network provides an opportunity to take charge of individual financial independence and to promote health and wellness products that can change your life and the life of others. Pat had been taking supplements for years, based on her own research, but was never sure if she was taking the right ones. The Trump Network offers a line of customized nutritional supplements, taking the guesswork out of the vitamins and minerals your body needs. Other products include botanical drinks to manage your energy throughout the day as a healthy alternative to energy drinks; a line of snack foods specially designed to help our children perform better, while providing a healthier and tasty alternative to standard junk snacks; and a line of delicious, nutritious, carefully-calibrated foods to help you achieve your target weight safely, easily, and quickly. And most recently, the Trump Network introduced its Swiss-formulated BioCé anti-aging skin care products that nurture your skin's health and help you live vibrantly, outside and in. Pat and her family have lived in Arvada for 22 years and her two children graduated from Ralston Valley High School. Pat views her membership in the Arvada Chamber as a way to support our wonderful community. She has been a member since 2008 and an Ambassador since August 2009. Pat loves participating in Chamber activities and networking events and loves serving as an Ambassador to meet and greet new and renewing Chamber members, and meeting other Arvada residents. Find out more about the Trump Network and take the guesswork out of your health concerns.
