Buyer Supplier Program Fosters Regional WealthDyersville Economic Development Corporation is proud to partner with Prosperity Eastern Iowa to present the new Buyer Supplier Program.
Were all being bombarded with information and advertisements telling us to go green and buy local . We know doing so is good for the environment, but who said it cant be good for business? 6.5 billion dollars are being spent outside the Prosperity Eastern Iowa region on goods that are produced or sold by companies in Eastern Iowa. Area businesses have an opportunity to tap into a regional supply network, cutting down on transportation costs and increasing the dollars circulating in our regional economy. Given current economic conditions, keeping our dollars in the region is one way to help shield businesses and individuals from recessionary pressures being felt around the world.
Thats where the Buyer Supplier program comes in. Buyer Supplier is a web based solution making the process of finding area suppliers of goods and services easier for businesses. Businesses and organizations that are part of the buyer supplier program can create a company profile and then post, view, and reply to RFPs, opening the doors to sales and partnerships within the region.
Buyer Supplier is a program of Prosperity Eastern Iowa, a membership supported organization of local economic development groups in Delaware, Dubuque, Jackson and Jones Counties and the cities of DeWitt, Marion and Springville in eastern Iowa.
