GPFS Commercial Membership Information and Benefits
Benefits of Commercial Membership:
1. Advertising Exposure: Your business card size advertisement will be placed in all newsletters for the membership year (six to eight issues). The GPFS newsletter reaches our entire membership as well as 75 area band directors. For a sample copy of our newsletter, please e-mail your request.
2. Advertising Exposure: Your business information and a link to your website will appear on the GPFS Website’s Commercial Sponsors Page.
3. Marketing Opportunity: Opportunity to directly sell/promote your goods and services by exhibiting at the annual GPFS Flute Fair held in April. Our Flute Fair is host to world-class performers and clinicians and is a well-attended high quality event. The Seattle Flute Festival, sponsored by the Seattle Flute Society, is held the following day and is a 3-1/2 hour drive from Portland, making it possible to attend two large fairs in one weekend. Portland’s 2012 Flute Fair will be held on Saturday, April 14, with Guest Artist Sarah Jackson, Solo Piccolo of the L.A. Philharmonic. For program information on our 2011 Flute Fair, go to our Flute Fair page.
4. Additional Advertising Exposure: Your business card size ad will be placed in all GPFS programs for the membership year for an additional $100 sponsorship fee.
