FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS-- BI-ANNUAL 2009 Tri~Cities Holistic Resources Directory 1. What is the purpose of this directory? The purpose is to bring together all the natural, holistic, complementary and alternative product and service providers in the area into one definitive publication, in order to make it easier to find them. It is also to give providers access to an effective, inexpensive way to advertise their services and products with more space to tell about themselves and what they offer. Our most important purpose is to educate the public of the importance and availability of natural, holistic, complementary and alternative products and services in the Tri-Cities. 2. What is the final deadline for entry and when will the directories be distributed? Deadline for entry into the 2009 Directory is Friday, November 21, 2008. The directories will be distributed around February 1, 2009. 3. Why should I include my service and/or products in this directory? You should be included if: you have appropriate services or products to include; you want to make them readily available to everyone; you need an effective and inexpensive means to get your information out; you no longer wish to run around town placing your cards, brochures and fliers in other businesses; or you simply want to be listed in a publication of this kind for the convenience and positive exposure it will give your business. This website will also be advertised in local publications several times during current term of the directory (exact number of times advertised is dependent upon the number of ads received in the directory). Upon request, all entries may be linked to provider's website and/or e-mail addresses at no charge. 4. Where will the directories be distributed and what do they cost? Directories and website cards directing clients to this website will be distributed to all advertiser's locations, Visitor's Centers, medical offices, hospitals and other appropriate locations. Clients may log on 24/7 to find the provider for which they are looking, even if they have misplaced their copy of the current directory. Directories are provided to all of your potential clients and customers free of charge. 5. How can I get directories and website cards for my business or office? Upon publication, we will contact each of the advertisers to provide directories and website cards for their customers and clients. If you are not contacted, run out of directories and/or cards, or did not advertise but would like to offer them to your customers and clients, you may contact our office at 423-467-3302 or oppublishing@yahoo.com and we will arrange to have them delivered to you. 6. How long will the directory be current ? The directories will be current through January 2010. The 2010 issue will be published in February 2010. 7. What is a basic listing? A basic listing includes all your pertinent information, name, address, phone, e-mail, web address, etc. You also receive an additional 100 words or less to describe your services or products. Entries are alphabetical by your business name or your name (your choice). This is a favorite area because you can say so much for so little money ($45.00 each). All your entries are cross-referenced for maximum exposure. We typeset these listings for you free of charge. 8. What is a classification listing? A classification listing is your pertinent information (Name, address, phone, fax, web, e-mail), included alphabetically under an appropriate category. For example, you may be listed under Massage Therapists, Aromatherapy, Stress Reduction and Relaxation. This is an easy way for potential clients to find you when they are not sure of your name or just want to know who is providing these services before they choose one. Please contact the office if you are not sure under which classification(s) you should list your products or services. These listings are only $25.00 each! We typeset these listings for you free of charge. 9. What is a calendar listing? Calendar listings are great! You can include any ongoing or upcoming events or special happenings in the calendar section of the directory. The listings appear as weekly, monthly and ongoing, as well as one time events. This keeps your events in front of people for six months. If you are not certain of the details, simply write TBA and potential clients can call you for the information. This is a great way to generate business and get wonderful exposure for your events. You are given a “block” in the calendar as well as 50 words or less to describe your event. A fantastic deal at $20.00 each! We typeset these listings for you free of charge. We are working to make the Tri-Cities Holistic Resources Directory Calendar of Events the main local site for updated area-wide natural/holistic events. These listings may be added at any time. 10. *How do I pay for my entries? Mail your order form, advertising copy or logo and any special notes (if you have not e- mailed them), along with your check, money order, or credit card information, for the full amount of your advertising to: O.P.
