*NEW* FULL-SERVICE Partnerships

In order to support our busy entrepreneur and nonprofit leaders we have introduced new FULL-SERVICE partnership levels. With full service there are three key benefits

  1. We contact you monthly (by phone, email, text, facebook or your favorite mode of communication – whichever you choose) and ask what you have to share and how to best use your monthly allotment of exposures. If we have a conversation we can make a plan together, set reminders, etc.
  2. If you want to post an job or event or even a blog, you can just forward us an email with the  content or point us to the source of the information and we do the work to create the appropriate listing on AustinEcoNetwork.com.
  3. You get to make the most of your partnership which not only supports the existence of the hub of Austin’s EcoCommunity, it maximizes your positive exposure to an audience of active and engaged green-minded Austinites.

Cost:

  • Monthly Full-Service Partner (all the same benefits of Partner level above) is $49/month
  • Monthly Full-Service Partner Plus (all the same benefits of Partner Plus level above) is $198/month. This means that you get content in approximately 3 out of 4 issues of the EcoNews each month and have constant exposure on our website. So, for less than $200/month you essentially get an adjunct marketing department that helps you consistently reach thousands of Austin’s greenest-minded people and ensures your place in the lineup of EcoCommunity resources. Bargain!
