Each one of these events has its own unique way of opening doors and introducing you to other local businesses and business leaders in our community. #2 Free or Low-Cost Promotion Advertise your business and be seen by over 10,000 viewers through FJI’s e-blasts, website, Facebook and Twitter pages, Community Guide and Directory, quarterly FJI•Report magazine, and event sponsorships. Pick and choose just a few—or leverage them all—any way you mix it up, that’s a lot of eyes on you! #3 Ribbon Cuttings New Business? New Name? New Location? New Look?
