Our trip to IWF in Atlanta Georgia was enjoyable and productive. We were able to visit many of the SawMill Creek advertisers booths and meet many of the people who have been major supporters of our Community for a long time. Jackie and I also spent some time with several of our Members who found us either at the CAMaster booth or called us on the phone to setup a meeting.
Because so many of you have been visiting our advertisers web sites and many have been purchasing their products they are happy to continue to support The Creek. In some cases we were able to start conversations with several companies who were interested in providing tools or materials for FreeStuff Drawings here in the future. Two companies expressed an interest in offering CNC Routers and one has already decided to offer some very nice Material Bundles. We spent countless hours visiting Vendor Booths marketing our banner advertising program here in an effort to attract new sponsors to our Community. The results of our efforts won't be known for some time however we are enthusiastic about our chances to attract new sponsors this year as the economy shows signs of improvement.
Tomorrow evening I will start off the new season with one FreeStuff drawing for a Laser Engraving Vector Table that has been donated and several very nice leather items that we purchased at IWF.
In the coming months we will provide FreeStuff Drawings for every major group here and we hope to be able to offer an expanded variety this season. I also hope that we will be able to attract more vendors who are willing to sponsor drawings for large machines.
