Advertising info -- from Jay Webb
I had an interesting conversation with a young lady this afternoon. She was calling from "Liberty Marketing", and asked to speak to the owner of our business. I was then told that she was calling on behalf of the Caddo Lake Area Chamber of Commerce . That immediately piqued my interest. She went on to tell me that We are marketing a Caddo Lake map, and are wishing to have all members of the Chamber as advertisers . I couldn'tt hold my tongue, an asked to speak to the owner of Liberty Marketing. I was then directed to the owner who said that they had contacted us last December for permission to use the Caddo Lake Chamber as a sponsor on the maps front page. I did, in fact, agree to this sponsorship as he said, and did sign a document allowing them to print the Caddo Lake Area Chambers website address on the map. They have stated (I have it in writing) that they (Liberty marketing) will provide 1000 free maps to the Chamber for free distribution to our members, when they are printed. My point is this; Im put out with Liberty Marketing using the wording that they are calling on behalf of the Caddo Lake Area Chamber . Im certain you will be receiving a call from them, and I have no problem with them selling advertising. I disagree with their tactics. This is the same type of wording that is used for the Texas State Troopers Assn., Texas Firefighters Assn., Texas Deputy Sheriff Assn., etc . Its very bogus and disingenuous. I have asked the owner to change his wording and not have it appear that the legitimate Chamber is now making maps and selling advertising. Should we ever get the maps, as promised, I will then distribute them to anyone who would like to have some of them. Just thought you might like to know, before you get a call on behalf of the Caddo lake Area Chamber . Jay
