Are you looking for the latest collateral material to support your local promotion efforts? Do you need to update your presentation for an upcoming lunch and learn? Looking for some quality photos for your promotion literature or Web site? You need look no further than www.concretepromotion.org.  Concretepromotion.org is the concrete promoter’s resource center, providing a one-stop location that supports promotion opportunities for ready mixed concrete.

"When a member or state affiliate partner asks for information, I always ask if they’ve checked concretepromotion.org," says NRMCA Senior Director of National Resources Phil Kresge. "Most times, what they are looking for is right there."

There are dedicated pages for Flowable Fill, Insulated Concrete Forms, Paving and Parking, Pervious Concrete, Self Consolidating Concrete, Streets and Roads, Sustainability and Tilt-up Construction. You will also find links to NRMCA services such as the Parking Lot Design Assistance and Streets and Roads Design Assistance programs, Concrete Pavement Analyst software and the top-ranked "Concrete Answers" series of informational Web sites for the design community. Downloads of the popular "Concrete In Practice" (CIP) series of technical briefs are also available. Additionally, results from the MIT Concrete Sustainability Hub are featured.

Other resources include links to "Life-365" Service Life Prediction software, the Awareness and Concrete Education for Students (A.C.E.S.) Program and NRMCA’s P2P Initiative. Guidance is also available for developing strategic plans and annual promotion plans for your organization.

"The content is continually updated. It’s a clearinghouse of collateral for promoters," Kresge says. "Ad slicks, video clips, photos, PowerPoint presentations, success stories and case studies – you can find all of them here. I believe that every concrete professional should have concretepromotion.org saved in his or her list of favorite Web sites."

Concretepromotion.org can be viewed here. For more information, contact Phil Kresge at pkresge@nrmca.org.
