Advantages and Benefits for CincyUpdate Partners
  1. Stay in touch with your attendees with a weekly e-mail between your events
       - When your event returns, we can send a specific reminder to your group
  2. Increase attendance at your events
       - Direct reach to over 5,000 unique individuals (and growing!)
       - InDirect reach to over 13,000 (estimated forward rate of 2.6x)
  3. Capture an elusive demographic
       - Young (and young at heart) professionals
       - Multi Cultural / Ethnically Diverse / International
       - Most are not originally from Cincinnati
  4. Grow your event or organization through Cross Marketing
       - Symbiotically, with other similar groups, but different audiences
       - Safely, without directly sharing your mail list with competing groups
         ... we believe in being inclusive vs. exclusive
         ... we operate as "neutral grounds" for competing organizations
         ... a "blind drop" via a weekly e-mail where your mail list isn't shared
  5. Get special consideration for your event as a best pick
       - Our editorial content is "trusted" as being neutral and objective
       - All sponsored links and commercial content is separated from editorial
       - While we cannot "best pick" a questionable event, we will give additional consideration to our partners with additional research time if there are questions

Partner Expectations
We believe in the mutual growth of all organizations.  Similar to any eco-system, the more we contribute together, the more the system grows and prospers. Recognizing that some organizations may be competitive, we would like to help facilitate the growth of both by providing a common ground where event information can be safely shared.

To yield the benefits of partnership, the steps are simple:
  1. Agree to the guiding principal of mutual growth.
  2. Provide us with a copy of your e-mail list
  3. This list will then be:
    - Merged with the CincyUpdate main list for de-duplication
    - After it is merged, it cannot be returned or discontinued in the future
    - It will be considered the property of CincyUpdate and the community we serve
  4. Once merged, your organization will be offered a position on the Board of Trustees
    - CincyUpdate is a non-profit, volunteer driven community service
    - Going forward, you will have direct input and voting rights as a "stakeholder"
    - The direction of the organization (and the use of your list) will then be decided by your vote.
