SPICE UP YOUR MARKETING<br />
MIX WITH GMCC WEB AND<br />
DIRECTORY ADS<br />
Today’s businesses rely on the best marketing mix<br />
to get their message out to the buying public. TV,<br />
radio, direct mail, direct sales, telephone sales, and<br />
print and Web ads are the norm when it comes to a<br />
marketing mix—it’s the right combin<strong>at</strong>ion th<strong>at</strong> makes<br />
the difference. Web ads, the newest element in the<br />
mix, are beginning to take on a bigger marketing role<br />
as consumers become more comfortable researching<br />
and buying online.<br />
GMCC members can augment their marketing<br />
plans and increase their visibility in the market with<br />
ads on www.gre<strong>at</strong>ermadisonchamber.com. This<br />
members-only benefit could fe<strong>at</strong>ure special discounts<br />
or introductory offers to online shoppers. Gre<strong>at</strong><br />
exposure!<br />
Your ad will link directly to your site, so interested<br />
prospects won’t have to do any more research than<br />
accessing the GMCC site to get to your products and<br />
services. The right Web ad can help turn interested<br />
shoppers into s<strong>at</strong>isfied customers. You’ll <strong>at</strong>tract<br />
<strong>at</strong>tention and gain new business on the Web.<br />
You can also increase your visibility in the business<br />
community by placing an ad in the Gre<strong>at</strong>er <strong>Madison</strong><br />
Chamber of Commerce 2006 Member Directory with<br />
its year-long shelf life. Every GMCC member<br />
company receives a copy of the directory, and your ad<br />
can stand out in this high-profile public<strong>at</strong>ion. Ad sizes<br />
vary so members enjoy the flexibility to fit one into<br />
just about any marketing mix. Attract <strong>at</strong>tention to<br />
your business listing with an ad in the directory.<br />
GMCC members received Web and directory ad<br />
inform<strong>at</strong>ion in July. Contact Rick Sheridan,<br />
membership development executive, <strong>at</strong> 443-1951 or<br />
rsheridan@gre<strong>at</strong>ermadisonchamber.com to find out<br />
more about these member-only advertising<br />
opportunities. ◆<br />
