GDA Members receive:
- a page on our website and a space on our map/member listing, which are both promoted regularly in print and even radio advertisements when our grants allow for it – we’ve ran ads on St. Louis Public Radio for most of 2016, and plan on doing more this year
- regular updates about sustainable vendors, including local producers of produce, dairy, eggs, and meat (although that last one obviously wouldn’t apply to you)
- annual tailored audits and reports about ways to improve the sustainability and efficiency of their specific building,(which nearly always finds ways to save money)
- a certification sticker for their window
- welcome/congratulations ads in Sauce and Healthy Planet when they join
- their own sustainability consultant, who does research to provide information about incentive programs (Like Ameren’s LED and efficient equipment programs)
- – discounts for vendor registration at Earth Day
- free social media marketing
- free event promotion (if you send their events my way)
- opportunities to participate in our monthly #EatGreenSTL contest, where diners upload photos of their GDA meal to social media for their chance to win a $25 gift card to a member restaurant, and the Green Dining Club card, where participating restaurants give discounts to cardholder supporters of our program
- partnerships with the growing (over 100!) member restaurants who have made a commitment to become more sustainable
The GDA presents at events year-round, promoting members and celebrating the hard work they have done to be come more sustainable.
