FROM THE EDITOR
|
Dear Readers:
We're very proud to announce that our brand new website is now officially live! You can click this link to jump right to the site, or any of the article links below, to see the new look.
We're looking forward to building out this improved resource even more in the coming months ahead so it will truly be a go-to tool for helping you grow your forest products business. Have some thoughts on our new design, or even how we can make the site better? Feel free to use our contact form to send us a note. We value your feedback!
And the surprise we teased in last week's newsletter? We're also excited to introduce our new forest products classified advertising site. Here's the kicker -- it's completely free to put up as many ads as you want. That's right, you can promote your company and sell your products and services and it won't cost you one red cent. Keep your listings focused on the forest
products industry (per our site rules) and you are welcome to use this tool over and over again to fit your needs. Keep in mind that we offer opportunities to upgrade your ads for some nominal fees to increase exposure, but it's not required.
We hope you enjoy the new site and take advantage of the opportunity to create a free listing or two (or many). For our American readers, have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday, and thank you all so much for your readership and support!
Best wishes,
Craig Rawlings
