Promotion and Publicity

In a number of ways we promote the Christmas Tree Industry in Virginia. As an association we strive to increase the demand for all members’ trees by creating “brand name awareness” among the public for the Virginia Christmas Tree (Experience a Real Christmas Tree)”. We also strive to improve each member’s individual marketing opportunities through a variety of programs and training tools. We compile and distribute to the media each year, a list of member choose & cut and wholesale tree farms and what products they offer.
