Multiple Ways to Support the TCN
Last week I told you there are several ways you can contribute to
the TCN. One of the easiest is a
donation (details listed below).
Another way you can support the TCN is through the purchase of an
ad. Companies and organizations
such as IBTTA, GEWI,
ITS America and INRIX have repeatedly used the TCN
to get their message to its 7,600+ subscribers. The cost is far less than most other advertising
opportunities and where else can you be assured your ad is the only one
appearing in a publication? Please
email me for details about advertising in the TCN. Not only do you support the TCN but you get something big in
return.
