President's Pen - Marketing Opportunities with Dallas ASTD

 

by Deborah Avrin

 

We value the participation of vendors and consultants in our organization because they add to the diversity of the membership and provide valuable local resources to the Dallas ASTD community. 

 

Exhibiting and sponsoring at our Dallas ASTD events provide significant accessibility to many of the area’s most dynamic professionals and educators, as well as an opportunity to put your organization in front of highly experienced and knowledgeable development consultants and practitioners. Participation will gain your organization high visibility at the event, in our newsletter and on our Web site. Our website, www.DallasASTD.org , can be viewed by anyone and not just members.  We average over 14,000 unique monthly visitors a month! 

 

We have options for any advertising budget and look forward to partnering with you to promote your business or event.  Have another idea not listed here?  Just let us know by emailing anyone on the leadership team.

 

Sponsor Three Emails: Dallas ASTD advertises its monthly programs twice to its members and announces its newsletter via email each month. This email is guaranteed to reach the entire membership and your three line ad, including a link to your website, will appear at the top of the email. 

 

JobNet Job Postings: The cost to post a position for 3 months is $75 for Dallas ASTD members and $150 for nonmembers.  There are currently 24 positions posted on our website.
