additional time to update your listings for the 2009 Guide, let me know and
we'll work with you on your time schedule.
NEW in
2009: Growers participating in the VNLA's Beautiful Gardens®
"Plants of Merit" program in 2009 will also be listed on a separate
"Beautiful Gardens" page in the Guide and will have a BG logo symbol next to
their name in the directory listing, recognizing your participation in this
program in 2009.
This year, many
businesses are experiencing flat or lower sales volume than previous years, but
in times like these, leading marketing experts say that this is the time when
you should step up your sales and marketing program. The VNLA Guide to Virginia
Growers is a great way to promote your products with listings in the Guide and
ads promoting your products and why they should be buying from your nursery.
Think location, plant selection, quick order delivery, plant quality and all the
things that make your plants 'Virginia's Finest'!
|
This Guide is one of
the few things that your customers will keep on their desk as a reference source
for the entire year!
Let me know if you
have any questions or need an extension of time!
Thanks,
