[Advocacy-outreach] [Communications] Sponsorship for Chicago Community Gardeners Association

[Amy Olson]

Hi Lorraine and all,

I did a quick review of ZipScout’s website and this seems like a legitimate company. However, it also seems the sponsorships would involve marketing/advertising to our ‘local’ audience, so I am thinking that means sponsor ads/links placed on the website, social media, etc. CCGA has always veered away from sponsor advertising, but if anyone wants to revisit this idea, perhaps we could talk about it at the March coordinating meeting.

Thanks,
Amy

Their website claims that if we use their marketing system, CCGA will be available in their system to be matched with suitable corporate sponsors. CCGA will be able to tell us our preferences – how we would like to be matched, brands we prefer (or don’t prefer) to work with, etc
