Dear 10% Partner,
With leaves and temperatures dropping, how do we keep our audience of CT consumers tuned in to the variety of CT crops and products that are still fresh, seasonal and available?
We've got exciting updates, videos and offerings that we wanted to let you know about as our 10% Campaign Business Partner:

Keeping customers aware of what's fresh, seasonal and local!
 | | 10% Campaign team member Amanda with Pledge Partners Chad Simoneaux, Scott Miller and NBC host Kerri-Lee Mayland |
We were very excited to invite 10% Pledge Partners Chad Simoneaux from Gulf Schrimp Company and Scott Miller from Max's Oyster Bar to help us talk about what's fresh, local and in season!!
We are eager to keep CT consumers and buyers informed about what's still in season in CT, even as we approach late Fall. We'll be featuring locally sourced food and goods in our upcoming newsletters, on social media and at upcoming tabling events. If you've got an event, product, or suggestions we can feature, let us know!

Help us reach $2 Million by New Year!
There are 2 months left to 2014, and we're wondering if we can reach the next big milestone of the CT 10% Campaign!? We surpassed $1 Million tracked in September, now we want to hit $2 Million dollars tracked on locally grown before 2015. Can you help us get there?
Together, let's get CT consumers 'turned on' to procuring local food and goods for their Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.
CT turkeys, potatoes, apples, squash, chesnuts, wine, christmas trees and wreaths are just some of the items that can count towards the 10% pledge (for businesses and consumers)!
Pledge Partners
- Are you receiving progress request emails?
- Have you tracked your local purchases lately?
If you're buying from CT farmers or distributors carrying CT grown, we want to make those dollars count towards the CT 10% Campaign.
Let your customers know that you've taken the Pledge! Contact us if you need or want 10% decals, stickers, or flyers for your customers!
| Promotional Partners
- Are you growing or selling locally grown products?
We just got a batch of 10% stickers printed and we'd love it if you'd help promote the 10% Campaign to your customers, clients and members.
If you haven't, check out our Partners Resources for digital files that you can download and print or use in your own social media to engage CT consumers about the 10% Campaign. |
