Welcome to the Construction Association

Starting this month with both the Barrie and Niagara Construction Associations the Construction News and Report Group will be adding some extra value to new members of the associations with a $250 advertising credit with the GTA Construction Report.

So often in my line of work the first impression someone gets when a newspaper calls is "How much is it going to cost me?" The past year I have worked hard to build relationships with members of the two associations we are members of by extending an open invitation to do news coverage in the Barrie and Niagara sections of the paper. Now with the opportunity to receive a $250 advertising credit to be used in feature articles, themed pieces or general annoucments my goal is to build a relationship with these companies.

In the long run do I expect to generate new contracts or revenue, of course, but these will only be a small portion, the most important thing I will gain is the opportunity to provide coverage on news worthy projects, companies and events.

Below is a sample of the letter that will be going out in the membership packages of the Barrie and Niagara Construction Association packages. Would you like to offer this in your association membership package?
