Announcing Yet Another Sponsor of The ROI!
The Texas
Cooperative Extension of Texas A & M University will announce
Thursday, September 4, at their Business Skills Training seminar their
Sponsorship of The ROI. Seventy-five attendees from around the country,
all of whom are committed to assisting the thousands of rural businesses
in this country, will hear how The Retail Owners Institute is "at
their
service." Any retail financial questions that their retail clients
may
have can be assisted simply by going to www.RetailOwner.com.
In
addition, their Sponsorship enables "their retailers" who purchase
the Retail Strata:G® TRAINER or PLANNER to receive up to a 40% discount!
Welcome Pamela J. Brown, Ph.D. and the FCS Entrepreneurship group!
Here's a Great New Flyer We Will Prepare For All Sponsors!
Please take
a look at the flyer
that will be distributed September 4 in
San Antonio for our newest Sponsor, Texas Cooperative Extension. The
background is actually the home page of the updated Retail Owners
Institute site. (Neat, isn't it?!) Recipients can see at a glance that
the site offers a vast amount of financial training, assistance and
complimentary information. They also are invited to use the Sponsor's
signin code to receive discounts if they wish to purchase from The ROI.
The 75 attendees will be encouraged to reproduce the flyer and
distribute copies in their communities as needed. Would you be
interested in our customizing this flyer for your distribution?
Rebate checks to Sponsors
Three weeks
ago we mailed out $2,700 in rebate checks to Sponsors of The ROI. This
quarter we're well on our way to doubling that sum! As you
know, not only do your retailers receive discounts of up to 40%, but
Sponsors receive 20-33% of ALL purchases through their portal. Our goal,
while benefiting Sponsors, is to reach all retailers everywhere. After
all, never before could independent retailers learn and do integrated
financial projections so easily, quickly and inexpensively! And, for FREE,
anyone can now download
a trial version of The PLANNER to try it out.
And, boy, are they!
Special site for prospective Sponsors
As you no
doubt recognize, detailed Sponsor information is available on
www.SponsorROI.com It's interesting.
Some Sponsors are promoting their
access code on The ROI site; some Sponsors are buying sets of CD-ROMs
and reselling them (high margin!) to their retailers; other Sponsors are
using the Continuing Education Program for inexpensive on-line retail
financial training; other Sponsors are choosing their own
combination of services. Whatever works! We're capable and desirous of
making our Sponsors HEROES in the eyes of their retailers!
Please let us know how we may assist you.
