Landscape Management Specialty Group (LMSG)
Friends of the Network — Sponsorship Opportunities

Getting noticed is one thing; getting noticed by the right audience is entirely different. These sponsorship opportunities are designed for supplier companies that want to reach a specific segment of green industry professionals — landscape management service providers — across multiple platforms. Each opportunity provides ample recognition and allows the sponsor to build its brand and reach its target audience.

Become a Friend of the Landscape Management Network
Being an advocate and a business partner goes a long way in today’s competitive business environment, and PLANET would like to recognize supplier companies that position themselves as champions of the landscape management niche.

Companies that support the Landscape Management Specialty Group by sponsoring these opportunities and contributing a total of $10,000 will also be recognized as a Friend of the Landscape Management Network. This entails:

  • Recognition on a quarterly basis in PLANET News magazine alongside the LMSG article on a current topic in the Specialty Group Forum section.
  • Verbal and logo recognition in the multimedia presentation during the Recognition Reception at PLANET’s Executive Forum, attended by approximately 250 industry professionals each year.
