Co-Op Connections aims to highlight and strengthen ties with local businesses across Northern Colorado. Essentially, the program works by your business offering PVREA members a promotional offer of your choice (this offer can be anything you choose), and in return, you would receive free advertising through Poudre Valley REA. Your business would be featured in our monthly magazine (print & digital), social media and targeted messaging to our members.

This is the link to the actual Co-op Connections website.

Here is the June issue of our magazine so you have a visual. 

Below are also some statistics about our reach on social media and how many members are subscribed to our monthly magazine.

• The printed version of our magazine goes to roughly 40,000 members, while our digital version gets sent out to around 43,000 Co-op members.
• Our following on Facebook is 5,500, while on Instagram it is 1000 people.
• In total, Poudre Valley REA serves 52,000+ members across Larimer, Weld and Boulder counties!
