CNS CoOp focuses on the people within our social circle community, so we carefully listen to their ideas, suggestions, and deliver what needs are important for them. Due to these circumstances, it’s understandable that changes in the business plan will be ongoing in order to develop a solid framework that supports a united, connected and co-creative platform.

Where You Spend Your Money Matters
We believe that daily decisions where we spend our money and whom we are supporting greatly impact the communities we live in. If we want to be a part of a vibrant world where small businesses are growing and creative entrepreneurs are thriving then we should support them with our time, money and attention. It’s essential to support entrepreneurs, who bring ideas to life and begin co-creating innovative ways to fuel economic growth.

Connecting people to their surroundings and others opens up stronger communication lines that improve the community and the quality of people’s lives. Our program cultivates feelings of belonging and local kinship amongst community members and local businesses.

Marketing
Community Marketing Strategy
Lots of resources are spent on community building, focusing our efforts on producing meaningful and long-term relationships that are driven by two-way conversations. We believe in transparency and active engagement and the most engaged users become ambassadors, who constantly spread the positive word about CNS CoOp.Â
Members are empowered and welcome to become part of the team as brand advocates, evangelizing businesses and in the process, studies have shown they spend on average twice as much as traditional customers.
Since today’s consumers have more power than ever before, we have confidence and trust that a community marketing strategy is a crucial part of the buyers’ journey. This method focuses on the perceived needs of both the consumer and the seller within our social circle. This accomplishes four things for a business:
• Connects existing customers with prospects
• Connects prospects with each other
• Connects a company with customers/prospects to solidify loyalty
• Connects customers with customers to improve product adoption, satisfaction, etc.
Marketing Communication
Advertising, promotional mix, PR, and sales are designed to be mutually beneficial for everyone.
Word of Mouth Marketing
This is one of the most powerful marketing tools in creating new users and customers since people trust their friends, family, and peers.
Affiliates
We collaborate with the positive influencers within our community and choose to engage with them to establish a mutually beneficial relationship in the form of discounts or becoming an affiliate.
