INSERT PROGRAMS |
|
Let the “INSERT PROGRAM” work for you! Use one of
two programs described below as a direct marketing tool for your business, club
or organization. These programs are designed to promote your business, products,
services, promotions, or events to local chamber members or to those requesting
information about visiting, relocating, or planning a wedding on the Mendocino
Coast.
Information Packet Inserts
Visitor Information Packets: Each year the Chamber of Commerce mails
approximately 10,000 to 12,000 visitor information packets to those
interested in planning vacation to the Mendocino Coast. In addition to the
Chamber’s 3 brochures, member may insert their own brochures for the low
price of $.40 per piece. That’s less than a letter!
Relocation Packets: Each year the Chamber answers hundreds of
relocation information requests from around the country. As a Chamber
member, you can tap this potential market for your business. Introduce your
business before they get here. When they move to the coast, they will have a
friend…you!
Wedding Packets: The word is out…the Mendocino Coast is a perfect
location to hold a wedding! If your business offers a service that is needed
when planning a wedding, then the Chamber’s Wedding Packet is the place to
insert your literature or brochure. Again the coast for this program is only
$.40 per piece. Reach your clientele directly without having to purchase
costly mailing lists!
Once you decide which program best suits your business, just bring a
stack of brochures to the office (please, at least 200 for visitor packets).
We only will bill you for the amount your bring. That way, you can control
just how much you want to spend on the program, no surprises. |
