“World Expositions has greatly helped our cooperative launch a successful Coop Connections Card program. They continue to maintain and grow our list of participating businesses. The time spent recruiting new businesses, putting together monthly reports and maintaining relationships with contracted businesses is not something that we could have done ‘in-house’. Patti has made launching and maintaining the program a seamless process and we are happy to be renewing our contract with World Expositions.”
World Expositions offers a “turn-key” program. We will:
Contact and acquire a minimum of 100 local businesses to join the Card program.
► Recruit businesses such as: restaurants, automotive repair, salons, gas stations, grocery stores, tire stores, entertainment, recreation, florist, dentist, veterinarians, electricians, plumbers, heating & air service, etc.
► Assist the businesses in selecting a discount/special offer that will work for them to get them new business and/or increase the dollar amount on their sales and offer a great benefit to your member. We are marketing/advertising people so we know how to help the business with this decision. Plus the fact that we have signed on over 10,000 businesses to the program and know what works and doesn’t work!
