Benefits of Being a Vendor

Website listing

Your company will be listed in our on-line business directory along with a link to your website.  Our web address is: www.UpstateCREIA.com

Yahoo Groups

Our association sponsors an Online Networking list with over 1,000 interested investors who have voluntarily registered to receive these emails.  The list is used for our investors to exchange property information, provide referrals, and ask/answer questions among investors.  Our list members include first time buyers to experienced investors with millions of dollars of property, both residential and commercial.  As an associate member, you will be allowed to post up to two emails per month using this powerful resource in order to advertise your company's services.  This replaces the need to obtain and maintain a mailing list and snail mail your information to this targeted group of people.

Vendor Table at monthly meetings

We provide a designated vendor area along with tables where you can set up promotional material.

Coffee Sponsorship

Opportunities are available to sponsor the refreshments at one of our meetings.  We post signs acknowledging the sponsorship and announce the sponsor at the beginning of the meeting.  In addition, we provide 10 to 15 minutes for the sponsor to do a topical presentation and explain how their company can assist investors in their business.  The cost of the sponsorship is $100.

Additional opportunities are being planned to provide more exposure to you and your products and to give you the opportunity to "get in front of" our members.  We are currently working on a Vendor Night, either stand alone or in conjunction with a regular meeting, to provide Vendors with an opportunity to present themselves and to enable extensive networking.
