Arte De La Mano Partners with Colleagues to Provide Father's Day Treat

Small Business Partnering for Promotion Benefits Businesses, Consumers in Tough Economic Times

Albuquerque, NM (PRWEB) June 5, 2009 -- Fathers in the Albuquerque area can get some extra special treats this year. Arté de la Mano Aveda Salon and Spa (http://artedelamano.com) is partnering with two other local businesses, Toro Bar and Grill (http://rio-ranchoinn.com) and the local Brake Masters (http://brakemasters.com) to provide discounts and treats and the opportunity to win one of three grand prizes, each being $80 worth of combined services from the three participating businesses. Grand prizes will be given away at a drawing at each business on June 30. Special discounts include a man's spa day at a special price from Arté de la Mano, a free air conditioning check from Brake Masters, and from Toro Bar and Grill, free appetizers with drink purchase

Patrons can visit any one of the participating businesses to pick up all three gift coupons and enter the drawing. Dads get some great gifts, while the businesses benefit from reduced individual marketing costs plus the multiplier effect of cross-promotion. Everybody wins.

When economic times are tough, creativity can make a difference. Monica M'Danat, owner of Arté de la Mano Aveda Salon and Spa, regularly works with neighboring businesses to create promotions that provide extra value to consumers. Other recent promotions include an Earth Day fair that attracted more than 450 participants and a Mother's Day event that introduced Moms to local businesses.

"I believe in partnering," said M'Danat. "In doing so we create a much more expansive customer experience while getting to know other businesses and learning how best to market each other."
