Cabell and Wayne Community Map | |
We’re excited to partner with Town Square Publications to create a new, full-color Cabell and Wayne County Street Map & Resource Guide. These user-friendly maps are a valuable resource for visitors, new residents, and businesses. You can promote your business by advertising in the Business & Professional Resource Guide, reaching potential customers at a key time.
Why advertise?
📍 New homeowners spend more in six months than the average consumer in three years.
📍 New movers generate over $160 billion in annual spending.
📍 They’re 5x more likely to become long-term customers—if you reach them first!
Advertisers will be listed by category with a brief business description. Premium ad space is available, and all advertisers receive a complimentary supply of maps.
This exclusive opportunity is limited! More than 5,000 maps will be printed, with an online version linked from the Chamber’s website.
Secure your spot today—first come, first served. Contact Town Square at 859.757.4792 or submit your form to marketing@tspubs.com. View the last digital map here: https://townsquarepublications.com/huntington-wv-map/
