NEW ADVERTISING OPPORTUNITY FOR MEMBERS!
BUY BRANDON POSTCARD The Marketing Committee has come up with a great way for the Chamber to get the ‘Buy Brandon’ message out while also giving your businesses/organization the chance to advertise at a great rate! DETAILS The Chamber will be mailing out a 6”X11” postcard (see attached example) and your business will have the opportunity to include a full color coupon 3”X3.6” for $250. These monthly postcards will be mailed to all 57005 addresses (totaling approximately 4,500 mailboxes). There is a maximum of 6 coupons per postcard.
Did you KNOW? ...Businesses that join Chambers of Commerce boost their image with consumers and other businesses. A study conducted by the American Chamber of Commerce Executives, (www.acce.org) found that:
Respondents were 44% more likely to rate a chamber member favorable.
Respondents were 63% more likely to want to purchase from a small business who is a chamber member.
June 2014
As some businesses are unable to provide a coupon, we will be allowing one space on each mailing to include an ad while 5 will be reserved for coupons only. All sales will be on a first come first serve basis. Advertising on the postcard is limited to Brandon businesses and organizations. The back side of the postcard will be advertising ‘Hot Deals’ to drive traffic to our website, so even if you are not a Brandon business or not on that specific postcard, be sure to have your FREE ‘Hot Deal’ on the website where residents can find you.
