			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_307" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://nwbusinesslinks.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/1093363_cmyk.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-307" title="1093363_cmyk" src="http://nwbusinesslinks.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/1093363_cmyk.jpg" alt="Member Profiles Coming Soon!" width="300" height="210" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Member Profiles Coming Soon!</p></div>
<p>This site is dedicated to a core group of businesses that can and will work together to network for business in Portland and Vancouver, utilizing a synergistic , technology-based approach.  The primary piece of the technology core will be this website &#8211; delivering quality content, SEO links, and best of all, social business networking events whose primary focus is on developing winning B2B partnership opportunities.</p>
<p>Another basic yet extremely effective piece of the technology core will be utilizing email marketing that contains the logos, links, coupons, news and core messages of the member consitituency, mailed out on a weekly or bi-weekly basis.  This will be shared marketing among the members, administered by Northwest eSource.  Its goal will be to spread the word about Portland and Vancouver&#8217;s BEST BUSINESSES.  By combining quality graphics and content with POWERFUL PRICING SPECIALS with a broad-based <em>combined clientele target market</em>, we should have  a winning formula.</p>
<p>When I get a newsletter from the two computer companies I follow online &#8211; Newegg.com and TigerDirect.com &#8211; I almost ALWAYS READ THEM.  Why?  Because the prices they put in SOMETIMES are so good, I can&#8217;t help but read ALL OF THE EMAILS.  </p>
<p>If we can combine efforts to consistently offer specials <strong>that are so good </strong>we may make a considerably lower profit margin initally, but our readership will grow exponentially &#8211; as will the regular income from regular readers.</p>
<p>One last thing, this effort will be based on our current clientele&#8217;s agreement to subscribe or be delivered the newsletter initially.  This means that their loyalty to your company and the relationship you have with them is what is going to bring them into the circle of the best businesses in Portland and Vancouver through Northwest Business Links &#8211; so make sure you are collecting email addresses NOW!</p>

<p>This is a must attend event and very exciting!  Northwest Business Links has so much to offer, as business owners have so much to offer each other.</p>
<p>Our mission is to connect business owners and foster B2B relationships  &#8211; and what better way to do that then wining and dining!?</p>
<p>This will be a catered event with an expected 50-150 guests.  We will have a couple of speakers for short empowering and informational messages, followed with activities intended to produce business results for you, the company owners.</p>
<p>Activities will include small group brainstorming sessions led by our team members, where yours and our creative energies will be combined to create new advertising taglines, ad ideas and brand refreshers.  Expect several members of our teams to be there, ranging from blog authors and e-mail</p>
<p>marketing engineers, to graphic designers who will be more than happy to pencil out the latest logo ideas you have been kicking around.</p>

<p>We prefer to surround ourselves with the smartest and hardest working Americans, and that is you, the entrepeneurs and engineers of our great business systems.  We greatly anticipate this event and look forward to hearing your ideas and input.</p>
