NEW Advertising Opportunity in Chamber Restrooms

One of our members recently brought to our attention that we are missing out on a prime advertising location. We estimate that 90,000+ visitors stop by the Chamber of Commerce annually. The majority of these visitors take advantage of our public restrooms; we are often their first stop when coming off of Interstate 95.

 

Take advantage of a captive audience! Advertise your business, special events or activities on a poster. We'll put your 11x17 poster inside an acrylic poster case located in the restroom, on the stall doors in the ladies room and on the walls in the men's room.

We felt like a visual would be helpful!
You supply the poster before the start of the season and it can be changed out as often as you want during that season. Both seasons last for six months and your poster will remain up during that time. Cost for one poster during the on-season (May - October) is $125 / cost for off-season (November - April) is $75.

 

For more information, please contact Steph or Holly. Space is VERY limited and will be filled first come, first served.The poster advertising cannot be shared with other businesses. Download the sign-up form here. 

Brochure Rack Space

It's time to sign up for brochure rack space! Space is very limited, so please make sure to get your form back to us quickly if you plan to take advantage of this. The Chamber has three external locations to display your brochures year round. We also have the York Beach kiosk which is open from the end of May through mid October. The cost is only $75 per year round location and $50 for the YB Kiosk. Choose all three and you receive the York Beach kiosk at no additional charge. Download the sign-up form here.
