EAST VALLEY TEAM:
We are distributing in Zone 2, Downtown Mesa, for the 1/27 pub date. If anyone has access to a utility trailer that we can borrow for our Lost Dutchman Days parade float and/or an easy-up canopy for our booth at the rodeo, please let us know. We are doing January cleaning for new beginnings in our office, and we have excess furniture and supplies. If you are in need of cubicle shelves or desk organizers/baskets, please get in touch with Tina.
If you have any advertisers sold into the new Chandler & Gilbert markets, please let us know as we are trying to track our progress for the Feb. 3 launch. The East Valley office is also in production for a 32-page Lost Dutchman Days special section. The team wrapped up the special section with more than $7,000 in sales.
News Editor Terrance Thornton will be moderating a legislative forum for the Queen Creek Chamber on the evening of Jan. 27. The Queen Creek chamber will be working with the QC Independent by providing a monthly chamber update.
NORTH VALLEY TEAM:
The Scottsdale Independent is NOW serving ALL of Scottsdale! Our new rotating distribution zones mean we reach 60,000 different homes over the course of four weeks (15,000 homes every week). Upcoming editions include: This week: downtown/south Scottsdale, Jan. 20. For a current map or route breakdown, contact Brian or Diane.
VALLEY NEWSPAPERS:
It's a new year at Valley Newspapers, and while there's not a sound of a powerful locomotive driving our sales engine right now, we continue to pick up some new clients and bring back others who had wandered away. It's an energy crunch for all of us, but one that we know is ours to make happen. We're convinced that the first quarter of 2010 will be much improved from the same period last year. That alone helps us keep going. It's good to see the more colorful INI's as well.
Color is a big advantage to advertisers, and our ability to provide it in so many different places within each publication has to be a help to our INI sales staff too. Also, contact Mike Jacobs regarding an insert printing opportunity we have too.
WEST VALLEY TEAM:
The team wishes DC Clark a happy birthday today! Congrats on another year! Arrowhead Ranch will kick off this week. Please check out the first edition!
