CHAMBER ENTERPRISE NEWSPAPER PAGE | | |
MainStreet Newspaper and the Chamber have had a long standing partnership for the Enterprise Newspaper page that is published every month in the Jackson Herald, Commerce News and Braselton News. It is a full COLOR page publication that details Chamber events and announcements.
Mainstreet News has generously provided the Chamber a discount for this very important page. However, in order for the Chamber to get the discount, MainStreet News asks that we help solicit advertisers for this page. Advertiser logos are printed at the top of the page each month.
Currently, there are four spots and two of those four spots are available. The price is $100 per month for one newspaper or $250 per month for all three.
We feel as though this page is a huge asset to our wonderful members and the entire Jackson County community and we would like to continue this partnership with Mainstreet News. If you are interested in adding your company logo to the top of the Enterprise Newspaper page so we can continue this service, please let us know.
Thank you to our Sponsors
