Ste
Chapelle/Buy Idaho Show
 We
had an ideal day of sales and networking, at the annual Ste Chapelle/Buy
Idaho trade show! The Buy Idaho booths there reported excellent sales and
prospecting for future sales. Music by "The Fabulous Chancellors" was great,
and there was a nice crowd in attendance.
Again, from the Buy Idaho booth, we networked for our members, and
distributed Buy Idaho member directories to hundreds of people. Thanks to
Mary Sloyer and her staff at Ste Chapelle for another outstanding Buy Idaho
trade show.
Our next trade show is October 8th, at the Annual Membership Meeting, at the
Centre on the Grove Convention Center; see front page for details and
reserve now..
------------------------------------------------------------------
8,000
Buy Idaho Directories are Selling for you 24/7
 The
new 2008-2009 Buy Idaho Directory of doing business with members, is
distributed and is working to sell more products and services for Buy Idaho
members.
Members are listed twice, in the "category of business", and in your "city
of location", for quick and easy reference to Buy Idaho. A Buy Idaho member
recently reported saving over $1,000, and did business in his own
neighborhood, from a reference in the Buy Idaho Membership directory; and we
hear similar reports throughout the year.
Those of you who purchased a display ad in the
new directory, also have much more access and visibility because your ad
also appears, same as in the directory, at
www.buyidaho.org for worldwide
exposure and contact information to your company.
Many members keep extra copies on hand to network and prospect businesses to
join with us at Buy Idaho to continue the work, building our network to sell
more. If you would like extra copies, call us at 343-2582.
"IDAHO'S PRIDE IS SHOWING", through your Buy Idaho membership. Thank you.

Buy Idaho booth at the 5th Annual Idaho Public Purchasing Vendor
Fair

Buy Idaho at the 5th Annual Idaho Public Purchasing Vendor Fair
Buy Idaho's Barbara Dorsey, with Jodie Schmidt of Fisher's, at the
Buy Idaho booth at the 5th Annual Idaho Public Purchasing Vendor
Fair.
This is a great networking event for us to represent our Buy Idaho
members in the marketplace. We tell the Buy Idaho story, network
our businesses together to keep the money in Idaho, and distribute
hundreds of the Buy Idaho directory of members, for businesses to
use throughout the year.
The booth is a great hub of networking activity to help us promote
our members, and sign up new members. Thanks for Idaho Division of
Purchasing, for helping us promote Buy Idaho throughout the State.
Hundreds
of the new 2008-2009 Buy Idaho Directory of Members, were distributed during
the May 20th Vendor's Fair, sponsored by the Idaho Division of Purchasing.
This Division, buy millions of dollars worth of products and services each
year; and work hard to spend them in Idaho and with Buy Idaho companies. The
annual Directory from Buy Idaho is a key tool used in this process. The
Idaho Division of Purchasing gave us a booth to be a full participating
member of the Fair. Thanks to our many friends and contacts with the
Division, that we work with throughout the year to keep Idaho dollars in
Idaho; and bring in more dollars from all over the world to the Idaho
economy.

Build the Idaho Economy: BUY IDAHO
If the 1.5 million people in Idaho, all
spent just $100 more with Idaho companies this year, instead of an
out of state company:
That would be $150,000,000 more spent into the Idaho
economy this year.
Imagine the effect of another $150,000,000 in new jobs, capitol
improvement, re-investment in Idaho families and new equipment to
build Idaho business, industry, education and agriculture.
Sales tax at 6% would be $9,000,000 increased funding for
education, health & welfare, parks, transportation, law
enforcement, and the many services that make Idaho a better place
to live and raise families.
Plus the taxes Idaho companies pay on the $150,000,000 in
additional sales; the wages they pay people, the workers
compensation, health care, added jobs and the individual taxes the
employees will pay into the Idaho economy. With additional income,
families will enjoy a higher standard of living.
