Los Angeles, CA-- As all organizations these days, COVR is learning to pivot with the changes in our marketplace—from a predominantly independent retailer membership—to many of our newest partners being product creators, authors, and practitioners; we want your input as to what you most need from us. In the coming months we'll be sending you a survey about what COVR can do for you. Consider this your heads-up to con-template your small business and what it takes to thrive as a company while supporting your employees, customers, and community. We want to know, and we will be asking you soon.

We are in full swing with the COVR Visionary Awards and look forward to breaking all-time entry records! You've got until March 15th to get your entries in and your boxes postmarked! Click here for this years categories

The 2023 Conscious Life Expo was a success, and we had so many members drop by the booth to say hello. We also had a record number of our membership give lectures, workshops, and be represented on the sales floor with beautiful booths! I am excited to announce our participation in the Sedona Ascension Retreat and the Parapod Festival, Los Angeles, CA., make sure to mark your calendars for the dates below.

Also, we've got several members speaking in lectures, workshops, and panels —so make sure you check them out.

As always, if you have any ideas for COVR or needs for your business, please respond to this email with a note!

Participate in COVR

There are many ways to contribute to our all-volunteer organization—become a part of the network by posting weekly on the COVR social media pages, do a FaceBook Live interview, write an article on your area of expertise for our newsletter, or volunteering your time (an hour a week) with many of the opportunities listed below—we'd really love your help.

Social Media

Please connect with us on social media! We want to hear from you and your business. COVR social media is a great place to connect with other COVR members. While it's industry standard to post on your own page daily, here at COVR we encourage you to post weekly on our pages.

However, now that the awards season is officially open, we do allow and encourage more frequent product and self-promotion posting--please, no more than once a day.
