          Quad Cities Builders & Remodelers Association — Spring 2014
        
        
          Ever wonder why all major sports and convention arenas now
        
        
          bear the name of mega corporations? National and community
        
        
          events share the spotlight with co-sponsors because the popularity
        
        
          of the event elevates and enhances awareness of the sponsor; i.e.
        
        
          I-Wireless Center & Quad City Times Bix 7, Mel Foster Color the
        
        
          Quads, etc.
        
        
          As events gain in size and popularity, participants and spectators
        
        
          alike begin to identify with the character and good will of the
        
        
          company or organization that sponsors the event.
        
        
          Being recognized as a good citizen is ultimately more memorable
        
        
          than being recognized as a good builder/remodeler, vendor, or
        
        
          merchant. Cross marketing and public relations broadens your
        
        
          business’ base of awareness.
        
        
          In 2014, lets make our Quad City communities aware of what we
        
        
          already know. Our QCBR Association members are collectively
        
        
          and individually a caring charitable group of businesses interested
        
        
          in promoting all that is good, fun, and rewarding about the QC
        
        
          USA. So, if you discover a charity, an event, or even a parade worth
        
        
          marching in, contact your QCBR Association office and let’s rally
        
        
          our membership to support a cause.
        
        
          Better yet, let’s create an event of our own. One suggestion might be
        
        
          a run for the homeless, raising awareness and raising funds as seed
        
        
          money to construct basic shelters to house our neighbors in need.
        
        
          Let your imagination be endless with ideas!
