Right now, it is more important than ever for companies tosend a signal of confidence in their stability and staying power andto continue keeping their company’s name in front of potential customers.Companies who raise or maintain their advertising spendingin difficult times experience overall growth of their businessesat the expense of their competition while increasing their marketshare. Customers who see their suppliers promoting themselvesfeel more positive about the company’s commitment to their productsand services and it puts them in a “top-of-the-mind” positionwhen purchases are made.The WCMA recognizes this need for more promotion and has substantiallyincreased its marketing efforts for WCMA members andthe wood component industry as a whole. Exhibiting at moredomestic and overseas trade shows than ever before, participatingin more specialized woodworking industry events and seminars,publishing a new Wood Components Buyer’s Guide, advertising inmajor woodworking magazines, producing valuable research andmarket studies, and contracting a redesign of the WCMA websiteare some of the ways the WCMA has been promoting its membersand the wood component industry.Exhibiting at the International Woodworking Fair – IWF, recentlyheld in Atlanta, Ga. on Aug. 20-23, was a great success for theWCMA. We displayed a wide variety of dimension and componentproducts produced by WCMA members from our 200 square-footbooth. Copies of the WCMA’s new Wood Components Buyer’sGuide, which includes all WCMA members’ contact information,available products, and machining capabilities, were distributedfrom our booth to help promote these products. The WCMA alsoreceived many good sales leads from interested dimension andcomponent buyers who stopped by our both and these salesinquiries were sent to all WCMA members following the show.The WCMA, in cooperation with the American Hardwood ExportPlease turn to page 7032 Hardwoods...The All-Purpose Material
