Every annual partner receives a link on our web site's Corporate Sponsors page for one year and is listed in our annual end of year issue of our newsletter to help you attract new customers. If your business becomes a sponsor at the $1,000 or up levels, we will write a press release announcing your investment in conservation and submit it to the media which will increase your company's visibility and help build local goodwill.

Select the annual level of giving you feel is appropriate:

A 2007 survey of the shopping behaviors of US baby boomers (ages 44-62) by AARP and Focalyst found that 70% of respondents—an estimated 40 million boomers—use their purchasing power to buy environmentally safe brands.

These "green boomers" are more demanding of quality in the products and services they buy, more attuned to advertising and more likely to exercise brand loyalty than other members of their generation, according to AARP and Focalyst.

"We anticipate that as time goes on, more and more boomer shoppers will simply expect brands to be eco-friendly," said Heather Stern, director of marketing at Focalyst, in a statement. "Rather than this being a point of brand differentiation, it will be a price of entry."

In a recent Cone/Roper Corporate Citizenship Survey on cause-related marketing, consumers demonstrated sponsorship's ability to influence what and where they buy.

	86% say they are likely to switch brands, when price and quality are equal, to support a cause.
	77% say that a company's commitment to causes is important when they decide what to buy or where to shop. Why become a LandChoices' corporate sponsor?
	Attract positive media attention. Partnering with a non-profit organization like LandChoices makes good business sense.
	Distinguish your company by associating with this important cause.
	Boost customer loyalty by giving customers a new reason to support you.
	Improve employee retention and attract new workers.
	Enhance your company's image.
	Increase your visibility and number of website visitors while reducing your advertising budget.

It is easy for corporate sponsors to follow the advice of a great philanthropist:

"Next to doing the right thing, the most important thing is to let people know you are doing the right thing"
--John D. Rockefeller
