POMA Unveils Exciting Membership Benefit

November 9, 2005 -- The Professional Outdoor Media Association unveiled another cutting-edge benefit for its members. The POMA Business Discounts Package offers members a wide range of business-related service and product discounts.

“POMA is a group of business professionals and part of the organization’s mission is to develop services that meet our members’ business needs,” said Betty Lou Fegely, chairman and president of POMA. “With this service, POMA members enjoy meaningful savings on items like office supplies, shipping, travel, advertising services, graphic design and Internet services. POMA members receive the package when they join and when they renew.”

The Outdoor Wire (TOW) was one of the first service providers to become a program partner. TOW not only offers POMA members a substantial discounts on its news delivery service, but also donates a portion of all fees paid by POMA members back to POMA.

“Professional partnerships are what POMA is all about,” explained Jim Shepherd publisher of The Outdoor Wire. “TOW wants to help POMA members promote their businesses and products and help grow the organization.

“In addition to offering POMA Corporate Partners a deep discount on services, we’ve also established an individual membership that allows media members to promote books, videos, photography, seminars and more. Both offers are exclusive to POMA members and TOW guarantees the discount for as long as subscribers remain POMA members.”

Several other companies have joined the program during the first week of development. Full details will be offered in the December/January issue of POMA Briefs, the organization’s newsletter.

Companies interested in participating as a business partner should contact Laurie Lee Dovey, POMA management executive, lldovey@professionaloutdoormedia.org, 678-201-8129.
