A Mllllon Feet of Redwood
Simpson Timber Co., one of the foremost producers of redwood, has honored Capital Lumber Company, Phoenix for sales of more than a million feet of Simpson redwood lumber in 1975.
According to George Kreiss, Simpson field lumber manager, "This award recognizes an outstanding effort by a major distributor in the Arizona and New Mexico marketing areas. We believe that redwood is a superior building product derived from one of nature's most renewable resources, but it could not reach the end use customer without the work of such men as John Gaskin of Capital Lumber and his staff."
The piaque says: "In distinguished recognition of the achievement of exceeding one million feet of Simpson redwood sales in one year. 1975."
Capital Lumber received a permanent redwood plaque commemorating the outstanding sales performance, and each individual in the firm contributing to the achievement of the million foot result was presented with a personal award.
Get Free Publicity
An effective way to get free local publicity for your firm is to send copies of articles or other mentions in trade and business magazines to your local newspapers.
It is best to first make personal contact with the editor, to briefly explain your firm to him and how it relates to overall community activities. If you already do business with the paper(s) through their advertising department, suggest the idea to the advertising manager and chances are he'll take it from there.
