Greenscapes Underwriters are recognized in the Greenscapes website, e-newsletter, workshops and Guide during the calendar year, as described below.
Guide: Underwriters are recognized in the Greenscapes Guide with a 2” x 3.5” (business card size) color announcement (see specifications) and listing in the inside front cover. The 2008 Guide is a 20-page, full-color reference resource with valuable tips, recommendations, and offers. Approximately 100,000 copies will be distributed during the growing season in the South Shore, North Shore, and Western Mass regions, either through direct mail, personal contact, or targeted drop-offs. Click here for a complete list of participating towns. The Guide can be downloaded from our website (500 copies downloaded in 2007).
Website: As an Underwriter, your logo (linked to your website) will be listed on the Underwriter webpage. Underwriters may also provide special offers for Greenscapers -- special offers are highlighted on a dedicated webpage. In 2007, the Greenscapes website had nearly 300,000 hits from almost 10,000 unique visitors. Nearly half of these visitors bookmarked the site as a "favorite".
E-Newsletter: Nearly 1200 voluntary subscribers enjoy the free Greenscapes e-newsletter, and the distribution list continues to grow with each issue (9 issues a year). Underwriters are invited to suggest article topics, and either provide documentation or submit guest articles at any time.
Workshops: Member organizations of the Greenscapes Coalition annually host series of workshops on a variety of landscaping topics. In 2007, these workshops were attended by more than 200 citizens. Underwriters are invited to propose workshop topics and provide presentations, materials, displays and/or samples at these unique events.
