HAMILTON DISTRIBUTING OPEN HOUSE Our dealer in Michigan, Hamilton Distributing Company, hosted its first ever Open House on June 12th. They invited customers to come out to better acquaint themselves with Hamilton’s people, products and purpose. Sweet was represented by Mike Gannon and Mike Kirkham, who displayed a conveyor and leg and helped point out key differences of Sweet equipment versus other MHE. The Open House was well attended and deemed a success by Hamilton. “SPREAD THE WORD TO END THE WORD” 5K SPONSORSHIP Sweet Manufacturing Company recently helped sponsor the “Spread the Word to End the Word” 5K that was held on June 23rd by TAC Enterprises and Special Olympics. This event focuses on raising the consciousness of society about the dehumanizing and hurtful effects of the word “retard(ed)” and encourages people to pledge to stop using the R-word. MARKETING IDEA TALES FROM THE FIELD This is a marketing tool currently being utilized at job sites by our dealer in Indiana. We want to share this with you as a possible idea and use of coop dollars, where applicable. It can be used in a small or large sign format. ADVERTISING/CO-OP OPPORTUNITY We partnered with our dealer in Michigan to develop a postcard that was mailed throughout Michigan to past and present customers, as well as some targeted new customers. We handled the development and printing of the postcard while a joint mailing list was comprised. More than 200 of these postcards were mailed out, and we shared the cost with our dealer as part of the Sweet co-op marketing program. This is a relatively simple and inexpensive program that can easily be reapplied by other dealers. Contact Mike Gannon at [email protected] to learn more.
