vBizEx Program

Crowe Marketing Design to launch vBizEx™ (Valley Business Exchange).

Ed Crowe's vision for a business exchange program that has been in the incubator since 2007, is getting closer to becoming a reality in 2011.

The San Fernando Valley with a diverse population of nearly 2 million and a community of more than 70,000 registered businesses, represents a significant marketing base and offers many opportunities for business growth.

The Valley has a number of organizations and individuals who are doing a great job in the areas of political advocacy, land use development, business attraction, job creation, job training, and other employment related activities.

Local chambers of commerce do a good job—with limited resources—to provide opportunities for local business members to network and develop strategic partnerships to increase sales. However, the number of operating businesses, in a particular community, that are members of their local chamber of commerce is relatively small—less than 10 percent. More opportunities for business to business exchange are needed. Chambers of commerce need more value-added benefits to retain and increase their membership rosters.

The vBizEx™ Program will create added value to chamber of commerce membership. It will generate savings for participating business members and their employees. it will provide a large marketing base for national and local retailers and service providers. Local participating chambers of commerce will have the opportunity to generate an additional revenue stream from vBizEx annual membership fees. Selected community-building events will also receive support as well as some local non-profits.

Stay tuned for additional information and news about the launch date for vBizEx.™ Ed Crowe's vision is about to become reality.
