Ning is Changing - Creating an Opportunity for CEO Nashville Businesses

As you may have heard, Ning is moving their business model to a full subscription service. The impact of this move is that a select number of CEO Nashville businesses will gain a new promotional opportunity.

CEO Nashville will continue to use the Ning Networking site for networking our membership. Under the new format, I believe that you will find improved member services and an increased value to your CEO Nashville membership. Under Ning's new pricing structure, we could operate at the $20 per month fee but that the services offered at this level are lacking some of the features, such as posting videos, that should prove valuable to our membership. For this reason, CEO Nashville will seek to engage the new pricing structure at the full feature rate of $50 per month. To fund this level of service, Jeanette and I are offering CEO Nashville businesses the opportunity to underwrite one month of service from Ning.

Here is what our underwriters will receive ...

• You will be included in a list which highlights all of the businesses/members who have underwritten our Ning site for the year.
• You will be featured as the Business Sponsor of the Month for one month of the year. You can select the month you wish to feature based on which months have not been selected at the time you pay for your sponsorship.
• During the month you sponsor, you will be able to send a weekly notice/message/advertisement to the entire membership. You can include specials/discounts/offers as a part of that message.
• During the month you sponsor, you will be featured on the Member's page.
• You will be presented as a sponsor for any CEO Nashville events held during your sponsored month.
• You will be offered a first chance for renewal in subsequent years.
• All sponsors can submit a business logo which will be incorporated in the CEO Nashville site.

To take advantage of this offer, please contact Jeanette Schatz or Tim Cummings as soon as possible. Annual fees for hosting will need to be paid by July 1st.

I wish to thank Ron Hebert and Rose Owens/Chari Slocum for underwriting our first two months. Take advantage to market your company to our 350+ members!
