Business Without Borders

Created in 2004, Grand County Businesses Without Borders (GCBWB) was the brainchild of several independent Grand County, Colorado business owners looking for ways to encourage support of all of our community-based businesses owned by friends, family and neighbors. The same local business owners are primary supporters of our communities—not only with generous donations of dollars to our local non-profits, but also by committing untold hours of volunteer time, helping to make our local economy stronger--it became obvious that an effort to help sustain these businesses was necessary. GCBWB has no monthly dues, memberships or fees required to participate. Don’t have a business? You are more than welcome to attend and get to know our local Grand County resources! GCBWB participation offers twice a month GCBWB Networking Meetings hosted by local business people at their locations throughout the county, affording the hosting business an excellent opportunity to showcase their services or products to a varied audience; publication of a semi-monthly electronic newsletter; a blog and a Facebook page; the Spring Speed Networking event and the Fall Business Expo. Perhaps one of the most valuable tools of GCBWB is benefit of the “Ultimate In Word Of Mouth Marketing”! Leads, referrals and cooperative marketing opportunities are common practices of the GCBWB participants.
