Having an event or a sale at your store?  Featuring a special menu at your restaurant?  The MBA has several ways to help you promote your business.  Send us your event details and we'll post them to  the VisitMediaPa.com calendar of events.  We'll also use our Facebook  page and Twitter account to spread the word.  Get some great press recently?  Send it to us and we'll post it to the VisitMediaPa.com Media Making News page.

We have also launched a Press Release Service.  Simply submit the online form and the MBA will send your press release to local newspapers for you, plus we'll utilize the online tools mentioned above.

Let us know if you'd like to help us administer these tools or have ideas on how we can expand our offerings!
Spotlight: MBA Promotions Committee
Our goal is to increase public awareness and recognition for the businesses in Media. Most recently we have implemented a discount program for businesses to offer to the more than 1,000 jurors that come to Media weekly. In a partnership with Main Line Today Magazine, we are creating a December issue insert that highlights all things Media. Our long term goals include installing high-tech information kiosks, a communal public art program, and a comprehensive archive of all our promotional tools. Please feel free to join us every 3rd Thursday of the month to give us your input. Please contact Zubair Khan for more details: zubairkhan@mediaborough.com.
