Showcase Publishing produces Bridgeport Regional Business Council annual print directory December 12, 2007 — Showcase Publishing was selected by the Bridgeport Regional Business Council of Connecticut to produce their annual print membership directory through 2010. The first directory published under the agreement comes out this week. Previously, the publication was produced in-house by the Bridgeport Regional Business Council. "This is the first year we decided to outsource our directory," comments Janice Martin, Executive Vice President at the Bridgeport Regional Business Council. "Showcase Publishing's professionalism and ability to meet our deadline requirements made them very attractive as partners for this important project. The staff was great to work, with and sales went very well. All my fears about working with an outside contractor were overcome—and we have a wonderful finished product." Kelly Fermoyle, Managing Director of Showcase Publishing adds: "The Council has a strong, involved membership and that is always a recipe for success when it comes to a directory. We were happy to help Council staff by taking on this project. It allowed them to focus on member needs even more while our team took on the worries of graphic design and ad collection." The Bridgeport Regional Business Council, which includes the communities of Bridgeport, Trumbull and Stratford, exists to increase economic opportunities for the people and businesses of the Bridgeport Region. Founded in 1986, the organization works to create an environment for business expansion, retention, and recruitment. It has approximately 1,000 members. Showcase Publishing is a provider of print and online directories for chambers of commerce and other membership organizations. Founded in 2000, Showcase Publishing is a member of the WorldWebDex Publishing Family. For more information, visit www.showcasepublishing.com. ####
