In the Newest Sarasota Map

The Chamber is excited to be working with the cartographic and marketing firm of Target Marketing to publish a new full-color Greater Sarasota Street Map and Resource Guide for 2015. This publication will be the only official map endorsed and distributed by The Greater Sarasota Chamber of Commerce.

 

Accurate, user-friendly maps are a popular resource for our new visitors, potential commercial relocation candidates and even our lifelong residents.

 

The Business and Professional Showcase Directory of Members in these maps offers the opportunity to promote your business. This section will classify participating businesses by category, including a brief description of products and/or services. Advertising space on the back cover and a limited number of interior display panel ads are also available. Participating advertisers will receive a complimentary supply of the folded maps with a counter-top display dispenser.

 

Space is limited and advertising rates are reasonable. More than 12,000 maps will be printed and available for the next 12-14 months.

 

Contact Brittany Lamont at (941) 556-4024 or [email protected] for more information.

The best way to get the most out of your Chamber membership is to get involved! I joined the Chamber Partners immediately because I wanted to learn all the ways our business could benefit from Chamber membership. Not only did committee and council involvement give our company exposure to other Chamber members, it also helped foster the building of relationships through collaboration of efforts towards a common goal. Helen Keller said, "Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much". Choose a committee or council that interests you, and get involved! - Lori Denny, SouthTech
