Businesses know that television advertising is a great way to build more awareness, but they tend to assume that they can't afford it.

 

That may not be the case! Join us for a "lunch and learn" Chamber info session, Marty Neff and Christina St. Cyr from Channel 8 WMTW will lead a session about how you and your business can be featured cost-effectively in a half-hour show they are developing that is specifically about Bridgton and the Lakes Region.

 

They will also be able to answer all of your questions regarding the best ways to advertise on television as a local small business.

 

This is a no-commitment "lunch and learn" session for you to simply learn more about all of these TV advertising options.

 

The WMTW team will provide pizza and drinks as well for attendees. There are so many amazing businesses / Chamber members in our area, and Marty and Christina want to help you tell your story as part of highlighting this great region that we all call home.

 

We look forward to seeing you for this Lunch & Learn on February 2nd

at 1:00pm.

 

Advance registration is required to attend.
