New Resident Welcome Bags...

Do you take advantage of our Newcomer packets? This is a simple and easy way to get information about you- your company- to the people moving to Gardner.

What do you need:

Flyers, coupons, pens, pencils. Whatever you would like to give out with your business information on it.

How Many:

100 Should last 2-3 months.

Where to take them:

You can bring them to the Chamber Office or to a Chamber Event.

How it works:

Metcalf Bank stuffs the packets with the promo items. They take the bags to City Hall. City Hall gives them to people when they turn on their utilities. It's easy-and effective.

How it benefits you:

It is inexpensive advertising, with little effort. You simply provide the materials, and volunteers provide the manpower to get them into the hands of residents. It's in your face advertising- this is one of the first items that will greet these people as they move here. Lastly, this is exclusive to chamber members...
