What's A Paid Membership, & Why's It Worth Donating $25 bucks a Month?

 There's strength in numbers. Since the food industry is highly decentralized, it's tough to be heard when you're in the marketplace as an independent. We're a non-profit thinktank for indepenent owners and we will work with each Paid Member one-on-one to increase your margins and build your brand. We get you heard!

1) Our Paid Members get a year's worth of Formal Press Releases in article form professionally written and published by our Public Relations Department about their business specials and promotions published to over 100 media outlets as a benefit of Membership. Those articles are read by tens of thousands of devoted readers.We'll do an article every month for a year. No extra charge. Big companies have PR departments w/ FT employees to take advantage of social media publicity. Do you? 

2) Speaking of social media, why do you think the Wall Street Journal, CNN, US News & World Report and others all have Twitter  & Facebook accounts now? They have FT staff to make sure their businesses  get found in local searches ahead of their competitors on Google, Yahoo & Bing search engines, and that they stay in position to ride the latest social media/mobile networking trends. Don't ignore that smart-phone in every one of your customer's hands! That's how people shop these days! Don't know how to "insert Java script", or why your business marketing material needs to be "geotagged"? We do & so do your competitors. Call us...join us...and start to reach your new customers where they live. On line.
