Calling All Bars, Restaurants, Retail Shop & Attractions! | |
The CMJ Music Marathon & Film Festival is back on October 19 - 23. CMJ takes over NYC, hosting 1,200 bands who perform amazing music to over 120,000 music fans in 75 venues in lower Manhattan and Brooklyn.
Be part of the CMJ Community Outreach Initiative, and benefit from the vast purchasing power of their audience. CMJ is looking to partner with local retailers, restaurants, museums, and other businesses to encourage CMJ attendees to visit these establishments.
All you have to do is offer a discount or a special deal (free drink with meal purchase, 2-for-1 deals) to CMJ badge-holders. In exchange, CMJ will promote your business as part of their Community Initiative, on their website, e-mail blasts and in the CMJ Festival Guide. They will also give you free CMJ registration badges.
To further promote the partnership, you can promote the CMJ discount info on your website, e-mail blasts, Facebook and/or Twitter. There's also the opportunity to get even more involved, such as holding an in-store event.
Let us know if you're interested by sending us an email. Offers/Discounts are due by 14th of September - it's a free, easy way to up your foot traffic and take advantage of a new group of customers! |

Google's mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful.
As a business, Google generates the majority of its revenue by offering advertisers measurable, cost-effective and highly relevant advertising, so that the ads are useful to the people who see them as well as to the advertisers who run them.
Hundreds of thousands of advertisers worldwide use their Google AdWords program to promote their products and services on the web. Advertisers bid in an open and competitive auction to have their ads appear alongside the search results for particular keywords. You can specify the geographic location and time of day for their ads to appear. As a result, people see ads that are so useful and relevant that they become a valuable form of information in their own right. Google is offering a discount on AdWords to Chamber Members so be sure to take advantage by clicking here.
