Distribute Marketing Materials
All members may display company literature, promotions, and/or business cards at the Chamber office.
The Chamber has information about tourism, clubs, organizations, business, industry, relocation & general information. Visitors and locals alike commonly ask us about local businesses, and we would love to refer them to you. As the chamber has hundreds of members, we encourage you to stop by and check if we have your updated marketing materials in stock and on display.
Standard business cards or tri-fold brochure sizes are highly encouraged.
Additionally, if you have any branded promotional items (like koozies, etc) that you would like distributed on your behalf, you can drop them off at the chamber office.
We receive requests throughout the year for items from local businesses to be included in local event swag bags. We no longer update on membership on these requests due to the high volume, but we do rely on your contributions to distribute items.

Email Marketing

eNewsletter – Ad
There is limited ad space available in the eNewsletter at a rate of $20/issue. No more than two ads (only 1 per industry) per eNewsletter will be available. First come first served. Specifications: Horizontal .jpg.
eBlast
Chamber members are now able to send one solicitation eblast via the chamber. Limit 1 per member per calendar year. We will send out no more than one solicitation eBlast per week (read: only 52 slots a year) – so schedule yours early! No additional eblasts available. Example
Why are we doing this? Many people want to be able to access our directory. While members may still request printed mailing labels, we do not wish to release member emails for security reasons. As a compromise, we have introduced the limited availability of solicitation eblasts. We believe this will cut down on inbox spam (as opposed to releasing emails), but also gives our members another medium in which to market.
Social Media
Facebook Ad
All members are welcome to one “solicitation” social media post for Facebook per calendar year. Email [email protected] at least one week in advance with the content you want posted as well as the date and time to be sent out.
