			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The wedding package give-a-way that was promoted in the January edition of REACH Magazine is going to be given away this weekend. If you know anyone who will be getting married this year, make sure they go online TODAY (2/3/12) and register for free to win. They need not be present to win, but they might also want to attend the winter wedding showcase on Saturday from 11am-4pm.</p>
<p><a title="Wedding package give-a-way worth $25,000.00 to one lucky Dayton bride" href="http://www.daytonweddingconnection.com/win-a-wedding-package/" target="_blank">http://www.daytonweddingconnection.com/win-a-wedding-package/</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.daytonweddingconnection.com/winter-wedding-showcase/"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1290" title="WinterWeddingShowcaseRegistrationLogo" src="http://www.gybindayton.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/WinterWeddingShowcaseRegistrationLogo.jpg" alt="WinterWeddingShowcaseRegistrationLogo Wedding Package give a way in Dayton valued at $25,000 last day to register" width="200" height="150" /></a></p>
<p>For businesses wanting to learn about promotion to a very small target market review this strategy. The Event Connection is wanting to reach brides to be to promote their services and the services available at the Wedding Connection. Working together with other vendors who want that same audience, they put together a enter to win package that would appeal to that audience and marketed it in Dayton&#8217;s favorite coupon magazine, REACH Magazine. When the magazine hit the homes their registrations spiked and the phones started to ring with calls from brides and other  wedding vendors that wanted to participate. Some lucky bride will be winning $25,000.00 worth of gifts and services this Saturday. News of the prize and the event made the newspaper causing another spike in registrations on the online register to win page which also offers tickets to the event this weekend. Participating vendors will be given the email addresses of brides that register at the event tomorrow.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3><span style="color: #993300;">It looks to me like we will hit another one out of the ball park with the February edition of REACH Magazine.</span></h3>
<p>What are the things that will make consumers want to look through their REACH Magazine this issue? Why will they hang on to their REACH Magazine and review it often giving all our advertisers repeated exposure throughout the month?</p>
<h3><span style="color: #993300;">The cover is fun and exciting:</span></h3>
<p>As I&#8217;ve mentioned before, there are other coupon magazines distributed in the greater Dayton area that litter their covers with coupons and advertising. If you ask people why they like REACH Magazine the best, many times you will hear something like this, &#8220;REACH is like a real magazine&#8221;. What they mean when you ask them, is that the cover is appealing and they are willing for REACH to lay about their homes for a longer period than the other magazines.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #993300;">REACH covers appeal to consumers and create excitement for the community</span></h3>
<p>Another thing that you will notice about REACH Magazine covers is that we make an effort to create interesting seasonal covers that will appeal to consumers in the greater Dayton area. Some times it will be a family and other times it might be something like UD Sports or Wright State Sports, or the Air show. Whatever it is, our goal is to give that magazine a reason to lay around for many weeks in the home.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #993300;">Here is the cover of the February edition / Isn&#8217;t this just FUN?</span></h3>
<p><a href="http://www.gybindayton.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/CoverGoRed.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1280" title="CoverGoRed" src="http://www.gybindayton.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/CoverGoRed.jpg" alt="CoverGoRed February 2012 REACH Magazine in Dayton looks exciting" width="624" height="873" /></a></p>
<p>On the back cover you will see the 17th annual Dayton Heart Ball for the American Heart Association. Nice tie-in with the front cover.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #993300;">Yo Deal • Local deals &#8211; local causes</span></h3>
<p>The Yo Deal roll out in Dayton is also tied in with the American Heart Association. Each company running a YoDeal this month will have a percentage of their Yo Deal sales go to the American Heart Association and the Go RED for Women American Heart Association month of focus on women and heart disease.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #993300;">Valentines Giveaway is fun and exciting for consumers</span></h3>
<p>Also on the back cover is a register to win Valentines Giveaway including a romantic package at Homewood Suites by Hilton Dayton, Dinner for two at Carvers, two dozen red roses from Englewood Florist and a heart-shaped box of chocolates from Winans. The fun thing about this is that it is easy to register and we hand the gifts over to a local Dayton area winner here at our office. Each back cover of REACH Magazine in Dayton has something you can register to win. It&#8217;s another fun way that REACH Magazine connects with the community and with consumers.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #993300;">Now for the meat of what consumers love most about REACH Magazine</span></h3>
<p>They love what&#8217;s inside. This issue is packed with over 18 different food vendors from fine dining to pizza delivery, from Mexican restaurants to Chinese restaurants and buffets and Japanese steak houses. With all that food, consumers have a good reason to hang on to the magazine until the next issue arrives and as they look through the magazine deciding where they might want to dine out, they also see variety in the other kinds of businesses represented. There are jewelers, home improvement companies, various home services, automotive maintenance and repair companies, car washes, tanning salons, hair salons, recreation venues even plastic surgeons and dentists. Consumers never know exactly what is going to be inside their REACH magazine so everyone looks through the magazine. The bigger the magazine the more excited consumers are to look through it.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #993300;">Advertising in REACH Magazine is easy • Use the power of direct mail coupons in Dayton&#8217;s most popular coupon magazine</span></h3>

Tell me they type of business you have and I will research through our archives in Dayton, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Youngstown and other markets to find similar businesses that are doing well in REACH Magazine.

<p>It&#8217;s funny that some people have an aversion to sales, yet they do it every day if they are advancing in their business or in their careers. As small business owners, this is one area that you can always improve on and which will have a direct effect on your business&#8217; growth and stability.</p>
<p>This is the link to the article in Entrepreneur Online. They always have great articles with links throughout that you can click for additional reading. Ten minutes from now, you will have a better understanding of the importance of sales to your business and several ways that you can grow and improve sales for your company (whether you are an employee or the owner)</p>

<p>All the SEO in the world, all the advertising and marketing that you could ever do, all the networking and socializing to put yourself out there and make your phone ring will have little real value to your business if you don&#8217;t learn how to sell yourself, your product and your services to those who call.</p>
<p>As a REACH Magazine advertising sales executive with over 20 years experience my sales consultation delves into more than the cost of my advertising program and where to target your advertising dollars. Many times I work with businesses to help them fine tune other aspects of their business. Whether it is sales, how the phones are answered, or other day-to-day concerns, we will sometimes cover them in discussions to improve their business and help their business grow. If I get the phone to ring and it falls apart from there, I lose my client. As an experienced marketing and advertising executive I know that customer service in my business does not stop with the sale of an ad.</p>
<p>If you would like to learn more about REACH Magazine, or have a discussion about your consumer oriented product or service business and how it can grow and become strong, please give me a call any time.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have worked with hundreds of businesses over the years and one thing is evident, those that have a plan, a calendar, and goals do better than those who don&#8217;t.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #993300;">Are you drifting and directed by the tyranny of the urgent?</span></h3>
<p>What happens when a business does not plan is that important opportunities are missed. Let me give you an example. If your business has a significant increase of activity in spring, that may be an important time to advertise for you. But, if you are distracted and have no plan you may miss important deadlines for this critical time in your business. For example if you wanted to advertise in REACH Magazine or Housetrends Magazine in April and you only just thought of it around the second week of March, guess what, you missed all the deadlines and the magazines are out being printed so they will arrive in homes as scheduled. Your competitors will have the advantage of reaping the rewards of timely advertising.</p>
<p>If you have no calendar so that you can look ahead, you will constantly feel like you are playing catch up. You will feel that many urgent matters are dominating your choices, but that the important things that can make your company grow (these things may be less urgent, but more important) get ignored or missed.</p>
<h3><strong><span style="color: #993300;">Here are the two things that I recommend</span></strong></h3>
<p><strong>NUMBER ONE:</strong> Get a nice notebook and whenever you think of something that is a goal, WRITE IT DOWN.</p>
<p><strong>NUMBER TWO:</strong> Get a blank calendar and transfer the first step for each goal onto the calendar well in advance of the target date.</p>
<p>These two things can have a significant impact on your business in 2012. When you write down your goals, your subconscious mind starts working on them. You will soon be putting an &#8220;x&#8221; by completed goals that you have had for years, but which in the past, you never wrote down. By having a calendar, you can add in things like publication deadlines and target advertising times for your business. As you look ahead you will find time to work on the important things for your business and you will be less stressed because you know what&#8217;s coming. You can keep urgent matters from completely pulling you away from the important matters and you will feel less stressed and more in control.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #993300;">Getting closer to those you love</span></h3>
<p>Here is another powerful idea. Every now and then when you go out to dinner with your wife, pull out your goals book and tell her some of the goals you have for your business this year. But, don&#8217;t stop there, ask her what goals she has and write them into your book as well. I do this with my wife and since we have two different careers, it really helps us to stay on the same page with each other. It can lead to some intimate and personal discussions about the future and where you are going together as a couple. Things like discussions about remodeling the kitchen or financing college for the kids or a vacation to a particular place can be written into your goals book to discuss further. Now from time to time, we are putting an &#8220;x&#8221; by completed goals that we both have shared together. Being a business owner does not mean that you need to grow apart from the important people in your life.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #993300;">Goals can change</span></h3>
<p>Goals in your notebook are written in stone. If you need to change them you can do that. Most goals have to be adjusted from time to time. I hear way too many people who say they can never write down their goals because they are afraid they may fail. What I have found is that some goals change because your direction has changed, others you realize are too lofty and you have to change them in some respects to make them achievable. There is nothing wrong with having lofty goals. The difference between a goal and a dream is the reality of writing down your goals makes them change, whereas a dream that never makes it on to paper is just a dream. It will pop up now and then as a dream, but it will slip away as you forget to work on it because you never wrote it down.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With a plurality of daily deals popping up at every corner, which one does a business choose in Dayton, Ohio?</p>
<p>There are the national companies like Living social and Groupon. Then there are all kinds of spin off versions of the exact same thing.</p>
<h2><span style="color: #000000;">yodeal.com, local deals, <span style="color: #ff0000;">local causes</span> is coming to Dayton.</span></h2>
<p>I will be posting more about this as I become more informed, but here are a couple advantages of yodeal.<strong> First off the business can get closer to 65% of every deal sold rather than the 50/50 split that most of the others offer.</strong> But, the big difference is that your yodeal is linked to a local cause or charity of your choosing and a percentage of every sales is donated to that local charity on behalf of you business. Not only does this do your soul some good, but the local charity can send the rally cry to make sure everyone notices your daily deal and takes advantage of it.</p>
<p>There is more to come, but for now I would encourage you to go ahead and log-on the yodeal with your name and email address. I will add more posts here as I learn more about the ins and outs of yodeal in Dayton. If you are a business wanting to do something a little different and possibly be featured in ads in REACH magazine, give me a call now. Peter DeMott 937-478-6222.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;" align="center"><strong>WEDNESDAY, </strong><strong>OCTOBER 19</strong><strong>, 2011 at the New</strong><strong> Community Tissue Services</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;" align="center"><strong>(2900 College Dr., Kettering, OH   45420)</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;" align="center">Considering that it was pouring down rain all day long including at 5:30 when this event occurred, the turn out was very good. Vendors were set up in several hallways and there was a lot of &#8220;networking&#8221; going on. This video is a walk down two halways. As I walked down the hallways you can see that people were meeting each other, introducing people and having conversations.</p>
<p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/COwDauRFP1g" frameborder="0" width="560" height="315"></iframe></p>
<p style="text-align: left;" align="center">There was plenty of food provided by Kohler Catering with lots of variety from sandwiches to stuffed mushrooms to vegetables and dip and deserts.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;" align="center"><a href="http://www.gybindayton.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/IMG_0167.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1124" title="Kohler Catering provided the food for Business After Hours" src="http://www.gybindayton.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/IMG_0167.jpg" alt="IMG 0167 Dayton Chamber Business After Hours at the New Community Tissue Facility with video" width="560" height="418" /></a></p>

<h3 style="text-align: left;" align="center">Conversations flourish as things settle down a bit</h3>
<p style="text-align: left;" align="center">For those considering going to a Dayton Chamber business after hours event, if you register by phone ahead of the event, there is no charge to participate. I suggest you just skip dinner and have some food at the event rather than rush around and leave. It seems to me that more and more conversations start and more connections are made once people have had some time to look around and settle in a little bit. Soft drinks, win, and beer are available at a slight cost, which if I remember correctly, those funds become a donation to a charity of some kind.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;" align="center">Time for your input!</h3>
<p style="text-align: left;" align="center">Were you a vendor participant or did you attend the event. Give your two cents by clicking on the comment button on this post. I would love to add your input to the information available to the people who read this blog.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>The fall of Rainmakers in the Dayton Market</h3>
<p>This blog entry is a reflection of my personal opinions regarding Rainmaker networking in Dayton, Ohio. It is not meant to hinder the rebirth of Rainmakers here if it occurs. The DO NOT LIKE button is to say that I am disappointed, not that I do not like Rainmakers and the model presented.</p>
<p>You see, I was one of the original 10-20 people that started meeting at the Penera Bread near UD campus at the start of Rainmakers in Ohio. I have been supportive of Rainmakers from the start because I thought the program was interesting and innovative.  I liked the idea of being able to attend several different HUBs to make connections and give and receive referrals. I didn&#8217;t have to work very hard to find new connections and I frequently invited my business associates to meetings to introduce them to others.</p>
<h3>The value must be there for people to invest money in the program</h3>
<p>However, there was a problem.  Actually two problems. First, although some of the meetings were quite large to start with, there was always the presentation including the &#8220;here&#8217;s what it takes to join&#8221; speech.  People were expected to join before they could determine if there would be a return on their investment. We heard over and over that businesses in Indianapolis were getting a very good return on their investment, but I don&#8217;t think there was much happening here in Dayton. Even so, people were encouraged to join up at a &#8220;discounted&#8221; rate and lock it there for the foreseeable future. What a great deal that would be!</p>
<p>With many meetings occurring each month in Dayton, and seeming to be doing well, the headquarters in Indianapolis quickly faded out the discounted rate and started presenting full price at the meetings. Now, you have to understand, in Indianapolis there are/were 30-40 different  meetings each month available to attend and network as a member. There was also a monthly &#8220;event&#8221; in Indianapolis where everyone was encouraged to come and where hundreds of people attend/attended. But, here in Dayton, there were 5-6 Hub events per month and there was no &#8220;Big Event&#8221; to attend. The price to join reflected a value much higher (the value of being a member in Indianapolis) than what was being provided (the value available to members in Dayton).</p>
<h3>Should I renew my membership?</h3>
<p>As I reflected on the invoice that arrived in the mail earlier this year, I could not justify paying it. I had done my &#8220;one-to-one&#8221; appointments. I had encouraged others to visit. I had given others good referrals from time to time. But, I was not getting a return on even my discounted investment for yearly membership. I was not getting what I would call a healthy number of referrals for my investment of time and money in the group. I decided to attend some more meetings to give it the old college try before sending in another year&#8217;s membership dues.</p>
<h3>The meetings were evaporating left and right</h3>
<p>Here is what I found. Each meeting that I attended was smaller and smaller and the focus became, &#8220;what needs to happen to reinvent Rainmakers in Dayton?&#8221; (Funny thing was that even at these meetings, referrals were not being given. Suddenly Rainmakers leadership closed down some of the HUBS or they just ran out of people willing to make them happen and/or  suggested that they should join one of the other meetings in hopes of keeping the large meeting chemistry alive. Soon there was only one meeting occurring at all (it is still meeting, I believe) with numbers around 5-10-15 per meeting. (I deleted my posts about Cadillac Jacks meeting, the Troy meeting, the brown street meeting, the after hours Town and Country meeting, all of which are no longer functioning groups.)</p>
<div id="attachment_61" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.gybindayton.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/rainmakersOH_1051.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-61" title="rainmakersOH_1051" src="http://www.gybindayton.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/rainmakersOH_1051-300x225.jpg" alt="rainmakersOH 1051 300x225 Not much there   Rainmakers Networking in Dayton" width="300" height="225" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">What Rainmakers looked like when it was starting up</p></div>
<p>The internet aspect of the group is also down to a slow trickle with the only posts being a discussion of &#8220;what are your favorite motivational quotes&#8221;. I guess it&#8217;s time to pull the plug on investing time there as well. Again, the value of referrals given and received is not there. The Linked-In Ohio group and the Rain Ohio ning forum are both showing announcements about events from 6 months ago as if they were going to happen tomorrow. I did not want to add to that confusion by leaving up posts that were about Rainmaker HUBs that have been disbanded.</p>
<p>I added the DO NOT LIKE button to this post because I truly did like the model as it was presented during the first meetings of Rainmakers in Dayton. I am very disappointed at how things have gone in recent months.</p>
<h3>What were the mistakes?</h3>
<p>1) Although the activities at the HUB meetings were great ice-breakers, there needed to be more focus on actually committing to giving good referrals to others at the meetings. Some were excited with just getting to know people with no accountability to providing value in the form of referrals.</p>
<p>2) Prices were raised too fast before the value had developed for the area. 5-6 HUB groups is significantly less than the 30-40 that were going on each month in Indianapolis. It became very clear that the value was not there as the meetings were quickly reducing in size at the time of membership renewal as people had to consider if they would continue on the anniversary of when they officially joined.</p>
<p>3) There are lower cost organizations for networking here in the Dayton market. Although I was very supportive of the Rainmakers model as it was initially presented, management clearly did not have a handle on if there was enough value for members for them to want to renew. This created a death spiral for which we will see if they are able to recover from. Some of that was due to the people who joined because of the excitement of the new group in Dayton without putting forth any effort to provide referrals to the people they met. With FREE and lower cost opportunities to network available, without the value of good referrals being given, why would anyone continue to pay $200, $300, $400, or even close to $500 for an annual membership.</p>
<h3>What now?</h3>
<p>I will continue to check things out from time to time with Rainmakers in Dayton, however I have removed all my posts about the various meetings that used to be on the calendar with Rainmakers in Dayton (Most have shut down).</p>
<p>I still enjoy visiting other referral networking type groups and will certainly review them here on my blog for all to see. A healthy networking group is worth paying for when people within the group are committed to giving each other support and referrals for their businesses.</p>
<h3>My recomendation</h3>
<p>Whenever you visit a networking group, plan to visit a minimum of two times before making a commitment to join if there are membership dues. Be willing to give referrals to others before expecting referrals from others, but at the same time look around and see if business is happening on those first several visits to the group. Ask others in the group if they are getting value from their participation, then make a commitment to participate fully in whichever group/s you choose.</p>
<h3>Why do YOU think Rainmakers in Dayton has fallen so fast?</h3>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3><strong>Current and past successes</strong></h3>
<p>Over the last couple days I have been delivering sample magazines to my clients in REACH Magazine. It was fun and I will tell you why.</p>
<h3><strong>One client going National</strong></h3>
<p>At one location, I stopped in to pick up checks for the prior month&#8217;s advertising. Each time I go there, things are looking nicer and nicer. This client has been with me more than 15 years. Now, he has created a franchise fast food business that is expanding nationwide. There was a new sign on the side door that said, &#8220;Employee entrance only.&#8221;  I asked the accountant if that applied to me and she said, &#8220;No Peter, your special, you can use that door any time.&#8221; I sat down with the owner of the business and he showed me some ads they are running in a national restaurant news magazine. He asked me, &#8220;What do you think?, no really I want to know your thoughts.&#8221; I looked at it and made some suggestions and he invited his graphic designer in and asked me to explain my thoughts again. &#8220;Okay, he said, lets try those ideas on the next run.&#8221;</p>
<h3><strong>New restaurant just hopping with business</strong></h3>
<p>At another business, also food, I stopped in for late lunch (after 1pm). The place was hopping to say the least. I had a very nice lunch then dropped of the proof for the next issue at the front desk. The owner had left before I finished my meal. While I was there I asked how many coupons they were seeing lately (REACH had just come out a couple of days ago). The fellow behind the counter taking my payment said between 40 and 70 coupons a day.  A little guestimating&#8230; that ad paid for itself in 2-to-4 days max. Every day after than was pure profit.</p>
<h3><strong>Home remodeler&#8217;s business is up significantly</strong></h3>
<p>I talked with a completely different kind of business earlier in the week. A home remodeler that I have worked with for many years now. I wanted to confirm that he wanted to focus his advertising around his home community for November and December and I also wanted to confirm that he was okay to go. With the economic ups and downs over the last couple of years there have been times when I have had to let some clients skip mailings. When I asked him how things were going this year, to my surprise, he said his business was up over 30% this year. I know other businesses that have not done well this year who are not advertising and who cut back and back and back. However this fellow was almost too busy to advertise. He indicated that cutting back to his own neighborhoods would be a good idea since he was not sure that he could handle a full run of the areas he normally advertises in.</p>
<h3><strong>New Spa and Salon growing fast</strong></h3>
<p>I stopped off at another salon, spa client with their proof for their next mailing. The owner was not in, but I was chatting with the counter help. One woman chimed in with, &#8220;I told her that if she keeps on doing anything it should be REACH.&#8221; I asked what she had tried. The woman explained that they had tried all the other coupon companies, but that REACH definitely was bringing her more customers than any of the others did. How many coupons come in each day? Oh, she said, maybe between 2 and 5 each day and most of them are brand new clients. Based on their average ticket, they are doing just peachy.</p>
<h3><strong>Another salon sceptical</strong></h3>
<p>Just the other day, I presented to another salon near Fairborn. I explained that consumers in Dayton LOVE REACH magazine. You should get a profitable response from the get go, I said, with good offers that is.  This salon owner explained all the things they had tried with various newspapers and other advertising and nothing worked enough to be worth the money spent. I explained again that everyone LOVES REACH magazine and she should do well. Her response was that everyone who sells advertising says that and how can I believe you?  I was going to give her names from outside her market that she could call, but she was too convinced toward the negative. I&#8217;ll talk with her again and bring some more samples.</p>
<h3><strong>Why am I telling you this?</strong></h3>
<p>I am telling you this because I want you to know that I enjoy helping businesses to grow. You can trust me on that.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are lots of discussions right now about the changes in Facebook that were just rolled out. I thought it would be a good time to discuss some things that you should consider related to your business. At the end of this post is a link to INVOLVER&#8217;s blog about the roll out that is under way right now along with a video they have put together to talk more about the changes.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #993300;">But, first, are you putting all your internet marketing efforts into something you have no controls over?</span></h3>
<p>If you think that Facebook is a great social internet networking tool for your business, I think that is great. But, here is the big rub. You have no control over changes that may occur from one day to the next which may totally change the value of the work that you have put into Facebook for your business. It is not YOUR platform. It belongs to Facebook and as you can see, right now, they are making changes that you may or may not like. Something that you have been doing up to now that may have been effective for building your business may be changed tomorrow in a way that suddenly makes all that effort and time flush down the toilet.</p>
<p>Alternatively, if you have a self hosted WordPress blog and web site, you can make changes, add content, and build a reputation that bring people to your site&#8230;. and it is YOURS. The changes and the content that you add build SEO (organic search results through SEO) over time. Along with that, your information here can be automatically fed into your Twitter feed, and your Facebook profile and Facebook Page. If one of those is suddenly changed (remember, since you do not own them, they could change completely overnight) to where it is no longer effective to bring in new clients and customers, you have still built something that will continue to grow your business.</p>

<h3><span style="color: #993300;">January Wedding Planning Guide inside REACH Magazine in Dayton Ohio</span></h3>
<p>We have completed the information about the REACH Magazine Wedding Planning Guide which will appear inside the January edition of REACH Magazine in the Dayton market. We are looking to place the guide on the center staples of the magazine so that brides can easily pull out the wedding planning section.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #993300;">Why might you want to participate?</span></h3>
<p>• Direct mailed into 260,000 homes at prime time to catch new bride&#8217;s attention &#8211; First week of January</p>
<p>• Easy pull out for ongoing reference by brides for many months</p>
<p>• Includes full color graphic design at no extra charge</p>
<p>• REACH Magazine is Dayton&#8217;s favorite incentive (coupon) magazine. Everyone looks through REACH Magazine</p>
<p>• The January cover will be a romantic bride and groom photograph from a local photographer and mention the guide inside</p>
<p>• Everyone looks through REACH over and over throughout the month</p>
<p>• For those companies that sign up early there is booth at a bridal event in early February at no additional charge (limited)</p>
<h3><span style="color: #993300;">Do you know someone who caters to the wedding / Bridal market?</span></h3>
<h3><span style="color: #993300;">Don&#8217;t let them miss this opportunity</span></h3>
<p>If you know someone who is in a wedding related business, please send them this link to download the basic information about the packages that are available.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #993300;">Early February Bridal Event</span></h3>
<p>The planning guide participants may also participate in a bridal event scheduled for early February. We will be promoting a super bridal package give away and brides will register online to win. Marketing about this event will be included in the Wedding Planning Guide and vendors who participate will be given contact information of brides that attend and register at the event.</p>
<p>Consider how much you spend for business cards. How much would it cost you to print 260,000 of them? How much would you pay to get those cards into 260,000 homes in this market? Let&#8217;s say there are 5 to 10,000 brides to be out there. How much would it cost you to mail your business card to all of them? Now look at the rates for a business card sized ad or a larger ad and consider the value.</p>
