Spring 2012

TO:                  Members, Mount Snow Valley Chamber of Commerce

                        Exhibitors/Sponsors, Vermont Life Wine & Harvest Festival

FROM:            Dave Hakins, Publisher, Vermont Life

RE:                  Great Ad Deals in Special Section of Vermont Life Magazine!

WHAT'S THE SAME? 

• Again this year, Vermont Life plans a special autumn issue ad section celebrating the Vermont Life Wine & Harvest Festival at Mount Snow Resort.  (The 2012 festival dates are Friday-Sunday, Sept. 21-23.)

• As usual, the special section will feature ads of exhibitors/sponsors of the Vermont Life Wine & Harvest Festival.  (Last year's advertisers:  Hermitage Inn, The Wilmington Inn & Tavern, Eden Ice Cider, Shelburne Farms, Sapling Vermont Maple Liqueur, Honora Winery & Vineyard, and Shelburne Vineyards.)

WHAT'S NEW? 

• For the first time, whether or not they are vendors/sponsors at the Vermont Life Wine & Harvest Festival, all members of the Mount Snow Valley Chamber of Commerce may advertise in this special section to invite festival-goers to shop, dine, stay and play en route to and from the event.    

• For this post-Irene recovery year, Vermont Life has lowered costs for all advertisers to participate in this special section.  Ads this year are only $350 per 1/12-page (2.25" x 2.25").

• Further recognizing this year's challenges, the Vermont Department of Tourism & Marketing will pay the first $100 of each special section advertiser's bill.   

• To save advertisers time and still more money, Vermont Life will construct 1/12-page ads free of charge to a standardized format.  If your ad is larger, we ask you or your ad agency to submit finished artwork.

HERE'S THE DEAL

You may purchase 1/12-page at a net cost of $250, 1/6-page at a net cost of $600, or 1/3-page at a net cost of $1,300.  If you need more space, just ask.

Each ad comes with a) free hotlink from your ad in the digital version of Vermont Life Magazine,  b) 20-word description and link in the "Meet Our Advertisers" feature on www.vermontlife.com, and 3) an opportunity to submit a "deal" for consideration on Vermont Life Facebook, liked by 6,200+, and Vermont Life Twitter, followed by nearly 4,000.

Individually, your ad will sell your products or services.  Collectively, all of the ads will attract Vermont Life readers to Mount Snow Valley.

To book your ad or ask questions, please e-mail dave.hakins@vermontlife.com.

Deadline for ad reservations is June 8.  We need your artwork by June 15.  The Autumn 2012 issue of Vermont Life will publish mid-August - perfect timing for Vermont Life's 120,000 readers to plan their late summer and foliage getaways.

Vermont Life will bill you after publication.

We look forward to booking your order at this year's lower rates and to the privilege of serving exhibitors/sponsors of the Vermont Life Wine & Harvest Festival and members of the Mount Snow Valley Chamber of Commerce.

Sincerely,

Dave
