Internet Marketing Secrets Revealed - Gahanna Area Chamber of ...

Gahanna Chamber of Commerce Street Map
We are pleased to announce our plans to produce a new updated street
map and digital interactive map of Gahanna and the surrounding area
beginning in July. Our full color map will represent the region as a
beautiful, progressive community in which people can work, shop,
raise a family and where businesses can prosper. We have contracted
with NovoPrint USA, Inc. to produce an outstanding map for 2010.
Highly regarded throughout the industry for producing accurate and
professional maps, NovoPrint USA is a recognized member of the
North America Cartographic Information Society (NACIS) and the
International Map Trade Association (IMAT.) This map will be a
stunning high quality full color attractive and an informative resource
for visitors and residents alike.
5,000 copies will be distributed to hotels, restaurants, realtors, banks,
business prospects, city government and other high-traffic locations
for several years to come.
We believe your advertising dollar will be well spent because of the
following reasons:
• Maps are kept for many years ensuring increased exposure for your ad.
• No money is required in advance for advertising sold and NovoPrint
USA can prepare the ad for you at no additional cost.
• Your ad will be featured in full color and will be available for a 2-3 year
shelf life at just pennies a map.
• New This Year: We will be offering an interactive map and online
business locator called Loc8. This product provides businesses a
greater presence on the Chamber website, access to an interactive
map of the community and the use of digital Loc8 files for your
website and publishing needs such as brochures and annual reports.
NovoPrint USA’s professional representative, Tommy Thompson will
be arranging appointments in July to personally explain our project
and additional options to local professionals and business owners.
To ensure that you receive a prime position on the map please contact
the chamber at 471-0451 or email us at info@gahannaareachamber.

at 937-475-4597 starting July 15th.
Deadline for Advertising in June Issue: May ??
Gahanna Customers in the Door
The Chamber-sponsored Gahanna Community Values booklets arrived
in Gahanna Area Homes recently, promoting Chamber businesses.
There were over $5,000 in free Gift Cards from Chamber businesses
inside the booklet!…so, it really got the attention of consumers.
Results are still coming in. But, it looks as if the shared-cost promotion
drove many new and returning customers in the door of the participating
advertisers…more successful and trackable than other shared mail marketing.
The next issue for Community Values is scheduled to arrive in-home the
end of September. The prices for running an ad in the second issue of the
booklet have been cut from the rates originally planned. For the price
of a Val Pak ad, your business can have a much higher quality ad in the
Chamber-sponsored booklet (2 to 4 cents). And the results are trackable,
so you know what is working and with whom!
Getting the Right Customers
Beginning with this September Issue, your business can target your ad to
just those consumers that are the highest potential for your business…Or,
provide different messages for different consumer segments. In short,
you can focus your marketing dollars where they will do the most good.
No other advertising channel gives you this type of direct mail targeting
and tracking for shared mail pricing.
Call the Community Values line at 614-459-0300 to place your Ad
or get more information.
Multiple Channel
The Community Values program also includes distribution of an Email
version of the booklet, and an extra Offer listing on the GahannaValues.
com website. The GahannaValues.com sites lists all the best offers from
Chamber members for consumers…and it is being enhanced weekly.
Update Your Free Web Listing
Make sure your listing and Offers are filled in on GahannaValues.com.
Chamber Members can now update your Free Web Listings yourself to tell
Gahanna consumers about your products and services. We are sending out
emails that give you your administrative password to update your listings.
Other Marketing Tools
We have a team of people that can provide: Solo Postcards, Solo Self-Mailers,
Email Campaigns, Web Design and other marketing tools to help you grow
your business by getting customers in the door and back in the door.
