WEBSITE

The Allied Partner / Vendor Directory pages are among the most visited pages on the website. These pages are public, that is, viewable by everyone. Using the Industry Resources tab, viewers will find your descriptive listing which includes links to your website and social media, contact information, and logo. Your future customers are not always going to search by business name, or scroll through every description. So, in addition to the alphabetical listing, your business is listed on the Allied Partner / Vendor Member Directory by Category. Send your listing information to: marketing@alplodging.org

Bi-WEEKLY NEWSLETTER

News You Can Use - ALP's bi-weekly email newsletter keeps members and non-member contacts updated on news, announcements, industry trends, and special offers. It's a must-read for all lodging property owner/operators and vendor businesses. (note: Members receive 'full access' to content by active links while non-member readers receive a limited number of active links to the content). Your company is featured in our "Vendor Spotlight/About Us". The "Spotlight" includes your company information, and a link to your Directory Listing. You let us know when you want your feature simply by sending us your paragraph! Additionally, your first company ad is complimentary and is visible to all recipients of the newsletter - you submit a camera-ready ad and let us know when you want it to appear.

Bi-MONTHLY MAGAZINE

InnOvations, the bi-monthly e-magazine, goes to all ALP members and contains industry news and research, current topics and trends, member news, association news, and the 'world of the lodging industry'. Readers will get to know you and your business via an expanded "Vendor Spotlight / About Us" article. And, you have the opportunity to submit educational articles with a byline and credit to be published in the magazine anytime. We welcome your expertise - that's why we offer the opportunity to further connect with and educate lodging professionals. If you choose, reasonably priced ads will remind lodging professionals of your products and services.

WEBINARS

ALP broadcasts several webinars every month, typically on 'Webinar Wednesdays'. As a member, we invite you to present educational webinars to members. In addition to the live broadcast, these webinars are recorded and have very high view rates. A limited number of "Vendor Demo" webinars are available to familiarize members with your services. The webinar schedule is posted prominently on the members' section of the website and in every bi-weekly edition of News You Can Use. If you’ve never done a webinar—let us provide test runs and walk-throughs for you
