What's the value of a local business network?

Ever heard of Ski the Northwest Rockies? Maybe not. Ever heard of Toyota Ski Free Days? The 5th grader ski deals? Probably.

Industry trade groups have been behind some of the most memorable and successful campaigns for marketing, lobbying, education, and business efforts. Got Milk? Yeah, we’ve all heard of that one.

Networks can be incredibly effective ways for groups of businesses to maximize their benefit to their business stakeholders, themselves, and their communities. BALLE networks have a strong track record of bringing businesses together to work for the best future for their local communities and economies.

BALLE networks also develop programs, how to guides, and materials that small, local businesses just don’t have the time to work on. That can help local companies implement simple programs to work towards their environmental goals, make their business more appealing to their customers, and increase their effectiveness without using more resources.

Sounds pretty good doesn’t it? So join us! Help shape the future of the network and develop the Spokane economy you want to see.
