Memorial Day is right around the corner and with this exciting weekend comes something equally as exciting: the distribution of our 2013-14 Welcome Guide!

After printing a hefty 10,000 copies in 2012 and seeing them fly off the shelves, we have gone ahead and printed 14,000 copies to meet its ever-increasing demand. This is a record breaking amount of copies being printed than ever before and comes with new distribution opportunities and more ways for the Chamber to make our Welcome Guide your go-to-source for everything Franklin County.

We urge everyone to pick up a copy and let us know what your favorite feature is for 2013-14!

Whether you are looking for activities, area events, local businesses or other relocation information – the Franklin County Chamber of Commerce Welcome Guide has everything you need to navigate Franklin County.

Guides are available at the NEW Chamber office at 615 Wilton Road and are FREE for the taking. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to find out what Franklin County is all about and to learn more about surrounding areas!

It really is the most comprehensive, go-to-resource when considering what encompasses Franklin County.

For more information about how you can obtain copies of our guide, contact the Chamber at 207-778-4215. You may also go to www.franklincountymaine.org to find an online-friendly version.

Missed the deadline to be featured in our Welcome Guide? Another incredibly cost-effective way for members to advertise with the Chamber is through FCCOC’s website. This dynamic new online presence is quickly becoming a hub of information for local events, member news, business resources, area business directory listings, and local coupon deals.

The site’s banner ads cycle throughout various locations on the site, allowing for views from people who may not visit certain sections in a hurry to get the information they are seeking.

Monthly, members can generate simple reports through the member’s-only section of the Chamber’s website and see just how much traffic was generated through their ad. This is an excellent tool when measuring how effective a business’s online marketing strategies are. Banner ads are also an affordable way to promote an upcoming special event or community outreach effort. Banner ads are available through the Chamber at just $25 a month, or $250 for 12 months.
