Marketing Support
AWCI is here to help our members grow their business. We currently have downloadable direct mail pieces, posters and promotional opportunities through Horological Times magazine. Be sure to check back often—we will be adding new materials frequently. If you need assistance with any marketing or publicity effort, contact the AWCI Marketing Department:
Amy Dunn, AWCI Marketing Director, 866-367-2924, ext. 307 moc.icwanull@nnuda
Important Note: Only currently active members may use the AWCI logo, marketing tools, referral directory and links to this website. These materials cannot be altered except where customization opportunities have been offered within the artwork for member use.
Use the American Watchmakers-Clockmakers Institute logo on your website, stationery and marketing tools. This tells your customers:
- You are a current member in the national association for industry professionals
- You support a set of business ethics and technical standards
- You take pride in your profession
Beyond this literal statement of membership, when you proudly display your participation in an industry association, it instills confidence in your customers. It also speaks volumes about the value you place in your reputation, integrity and professionalism.
