2018 Community Map Dear Chamber Members,

We want to say ‘Thank You’ to those who have signed up to sponsor the upcoming 2018 Greater Rochester Chamber of Commerce Community Map publication. You are investing in one of the most trusted publications in our community.

For those who were unable to participate in the display advertising, you still have an opportunity to increase your company's visibility and highlight your business by purchasing an Enhanced Business Listing for a nominal charge. This addition was made possible because we want all of our members to have every opportunity to promote your company through our most popular publication that is distributed to thousands of people.

Our publisher, Town Square Publications has partnered with Chamber Directory Services to contact our members and offer the opportunity to purchase an Enhanced Business Listing. The enhancements can be purchased by members at a very affordable price highlighting your business by category.

This listing will be included in both the printed publication and the online publication, which will be posted on the Chamber’s homepage. The printed publication will be distributed through Chamber member advertisers, and thousands of people who request information in our office or order the publication through the internet or phone. No other publication offers the distribution that we can promise. Most importantly, it will appear on the Chamber’s website that receives thousands hits annually from people who are seeking business, relocation and economic information about our communities.

Time is limited! If you are interested in purchasing an Enhanced Business Listing please contact Town Square Publications - (Chamber Directory Services), at 800-807-6805.

Thank you for your continued support of the Greater Rochester Chamber of Commerce.

Laura Ring President/CEO
