Monthly Membership Matters

By Dunnigan Macllwaine, LDDI Membership Matters
"What's in it for me?" New and prospective members often ask, "If I join LDDI, what benefits do I get?" It's the age-old WIIFM question (better known as "What's In
It For Me?). Hey, it's a question I'd be asking, too! After all, we're asking people to invest their money, much like any other buyer-seller relationship.
My answer to the WIIFM question is simple: "You're standing in it!" What I mean by that is that the existing LoDo neighborhood is the best benefit LDDI membership can offer! The Lower Downtown neighborhood is a treasure-and it would not be what it is today if LDDI had not been here
fulfilling its mission for the past ten plus years!
The biggest prize of LDDI membership is a safer, cleaner neighborhood where retail establishments, art galleries, business offices, residents, restaurants and entertainment venues can live and thrive side-by-side in a unique historical context. Those who join LDDI reap the greatest
benefit if they join I order to make the organization and the community stronger.
However, where it is feasible, we enjoy offering secondary benefits to our members and we look for every opportunity to expand those offerings. One such offering consists of LDDI's ALLIANCE MEMBERS. Alliance members are LDDI business members who choose to go "above and beyond" in
supporting LDDI and its membership. They have found the LoDo community to be made up of loyal customers and they want to reward that loyalty with specially priced goods and services.
The current list of Alliance Members includes Victoriana Antique Jewelers at Writer's Square, Paradise Cleaners on 17th Street and the LoDo and Downtown Denver News. For specifics on price specials, you can contact the LDDI office or watch for regular information in LoDown.
If your business would like to join the ALLIANCE MEMBER ranks, please contact me at 303-628-5482.
