Collaboration

Clifton Chadwick

Your KeepItQuerque - Buy Local organization has spent the last couple of years focusing on putting the "Buy Local" message into the hearts and minds of our neighbors, friends and colleagues.

We've had the help of the press, television and radio in getting the word out, along with the support of members like you.

We haven't hosted a great deal of events. Rather we like to promote the events of our members who have events.  Members like the Albuquerque Hispano Chamber of Commerce who regularly invites us to their "Biz Gratis Events, to their "El Cambio" luncheons, and other events. Many of their events take place at businesses that aren't locally owned, providing us the opportunity to network with prospective customers and vendors we might not meet within the KeepItQuerque membership, as well as to share the "10% Shift" message.

We like to encourage members to join the Albuquerque Convention and Visitors Bureau for their events - and encourage business owners to find out about their ACE Customer Service Trainings, too. According to their newsletter "ACE is a three-hour class that dives into things to do and see in the Albuquerque area as well as do's and don'ts of customer service. While it is geared towards front-line employees, this class is helpful for all positions to learn how you can better each guest experience. Cost is $25 per student."
 

New Android KeepItQuerque (Consumer) App - and a refresh of theKeepItQuerque Page!

With mapping, a link to member events and special offers, lots of ways to search and much more this new app is a great way to put your business in the hands of all our neighbors!

You might want to check out the newly refreshed Keepitquerque.org site, too.  We've added Special Offers right up front and redesigned it to put as much critical info "above the fold" for new visitors, including a link to the member directory.

Maybe Now's the time to go into your KeepItQuerque listing and make sure you're using the right category listings, have your logo uploaded, are connecting to yoru website and social media and otherwise make sureyour business is going to be featured as favorably as possible on the new App.

If you need your username, your password, or just a little guidance e-mail us and we'll get you the help you want.

Shared Branding

One of the powerful opportunities you have is to prominantly display your KeepItQuerque Window cling - e-mail us if you need one and we'll snail-mail or hand-deliver it.

Other opportunities for you to leverage your membership include using the KeepitQuerque Logo on your marketing as Shelton Jewelers has done;

New Mexico MarketPlace displays their membership pride on their masthead every month;


According to the recent Indie Business study by the Institute for Local Self-Reliance, businesses that promote their association with a "Buy Local" group have seen more revenue growth - in fact, they see a two-to-one improvement over businesses that don't actively promote their membership;


So, all you need to do to dramatically improve your revenue picture is include the KeepItQuerque logo on your marketing!  Why wouldn't you? 

If you'd like a nice digital file, e-mail us!
