CHAMBER FULL PAGE ADS IN TIMES OF MIDDLE COUNTRY.
In case you missed it, your business was in the local Times of Middle Country
and also in the Village Times (Three Village area). The chamber has purchased a
full page in September, October and November in two editions of the Times
Beacon Record. The September 23rd
edition listed every chamber member with your location city and phone number. We plan to rerun this format again
in October. If you would like to change
your listing please email George Fleckenstein
gfleckenstein@fishwindowcleaning.com.
For instance: Allstate Insurance, instead
of your city (East Setauket) we will list your
name – Jeff Freund. For the November
ad, the Marketing Committee is considering listing any member that is offering any
specials, instead of listing all members – let us know what you think.
