Banner Exchange - Share Yours

Kevin BannerWe're starting a Banner Exchange for Chamber Members.  Our goal is to network and cross-promote each other's businesses.  With the Williston Area growing exponentially, our Members have a tremendous amount of walk-in traffic. Banner Exchange is an ideal way to gain name recognition among the new businesses and residents arriving here.  At the Chamber, currently we have the North Star Caviar banner displayed.  Because North Star Caviar doesn't have a visible storefront, it's been a great way for us to promote our stellar caviar. If you display a banner in your reception area, please contact Patti at the Chamber.  If you are a member and vendor of banners, please let us know so we can mention your name in our next newsletter.
