Door to Door Flyer Program
This program gets your flyer or advertising piece into the hands
of 4500 homeowners in Whittier. We target homes in the Whittwood
Mall, Michigan Park and Uptown areas and go out four times a year:
February, June, September and December. If you'd like to promote
your business or services to Whittier residents then this is the
way to do it! You supply the 4500 advertising pieces and we'll do
the rest. The cost is $215 to participate and each Door to Door
drop is limited to the first 15 businesses to sign up. Reserve your space today!
Business Focus Advertising
Each month the Whittier Chamber publishes a 16 - 20 page newspaper called
the Business Focus. The total distribution is 8000 with 4000 copies
direct mailed to Chamber members and business owners, 3000 copies
direct mailed to Whittier residents and 1000 copies drop distributed
to various public locations throughout Whittier. The paper features
local news, Chamber events, business tips, a community calendar
and a very popular feature, Around Town. Annual contracts for advertising
space offer the best economic deals, but monthly ads are also available.
Ad space begins as affordable as $75 per month for our contract rate. Visit our Chamber Mall to reserve your ad space.
Business Directory Advertising
The Whittier Chamber publishes an annual Business Directory which lists important Whittier phone numbers, demographic and historical information, community services and a complete directory of all Chamber members. Advertising space is available at a very reasonable cost. Members are listed under their primary category, but additional categories can be purchased. (This is ideal for the restaurant owner who also caters, the real estate broker who also does property management, the banker who also specializes in home loans.) Members also have the option of listing more than one contact, bold facing their entry and including additional facts about their business such as websites and email addresses. 8500 copies of the Business Directory are printed with distribution including all Chamber members and an additional 4500 Whittier residents.
Event Sponsorship Opportunities
Several of the Whittier Chamber's special events feature sponsors. Sponsors receive various forms of marketing and publicity benefits ranging from Business Focus articles, banners and public recognition at events. Many different levels of sponsorships are available for events such as our annual Golf Tournament, Business Expo, Seminars, Bowling Tournament, Silver Shield Awards Banquet and monthly Wake Up Whittiers and Mixers. Event sponsorship is a great way to support the Chamber and receive marketing exposure for your business.
Mailing Labels
If you want to do some direct mail marketing on your own, the easiest way to accomplish this is to purchase a set of Chamber member mailing labels (approximately 700 labels). These are available only to Chamber members for $60. Call the Chamber office to reserve a set. Please allow 24 hours to have a set made just for you.
Press Releases
Is there something special going on in your business? Have you or one of your employees won any special awards? Completed special training? Let us know! We will accept press releases and, if space allows, we will print your news in our Business Focus newspaper. Deadline for all press releases is the 10th of the month prior to publication.
Table Hosts
Hosting a table at Wake Up Whittier is a great way to meet some new people and market your business! Simply call the Chamber office to sign up to be a table host at an upcoming Wake Up Whittier. Then plan goodies, hand out your business information, decorate your table and be prepared to "host" your guests at the event. The cost is FREE!
Counter Top Marketing
Bring your business cards and brochures to the Chamber office for display at the front counter. It's a great way to market your business to anyone who visits the Chamber!
