Lafayette Chamber Shop Local Committee Members
Greet Lafayette is putting together a special Shop Local Lafayette editorial feature for its November and December holiday issues and is inviting local businesses to participate.
As most of you know, Greet Lafayette is a monthly community magazine delivered directly to Lafayette households, sharing the local stories, people and businesses that make our community special.
The Shop Local feature is designed to highlight some of Lafayette’s great local businesses and encourage residents to keep their holiday shopping dollars right here in our community both this holiday season and year round. Participation is limited so that each business receives meaningful visibility within the two-page editorial spread. Take a look at a mock-up of the Shop Local feature here.
Shop Local placement is $500 for the November issue, or $400/mo for both the November and December holiday issues. Participating businesses will also receive a Shop Local listing in the magazine index and additional exposure through Greet Lafayette social media.
The deadline to reserve placement is September 25. Space is limited.
For more information or to reserve a spot, contact Rachel Blatt at rblatt@gmail.com.
