Advertising Opportunity.
Did you know that nationwide, the number one reason people stop at any Visitor Center is to use the restroom? We're taking that to heart here in Cody and we're sprucing up our Visitor Center public restrooms with authentic western décor and beautiful new paint. In the process, we realized that we have a captive audience in that space and our research turned up a trend across the U.S. of restroom advertising.
We are offering Chamber members the opportunity to book valuable space with an annual rate. In both our men's and women's newly decorated restrooms, we'll have 2-3 framed advertisements at 11" x 14" each and you can change the content throughout the year. For just $250 for each spot, you can get your name on our restroom wall in a classy way for an entire year, and reach folks who will naturally have a little time to read what you've got to offer. Ads will run May 1, 2016 to April 30, 2017. To reserve your spot now contact Lisa at 307-587-2777, or email cody@codychamber.org!
