DISCOVER GLOUCESTER BOOTH at AAA MARKETPLACE: ROOM FOR TWO MORE! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There’s room for two more businesses to join the 13 already partnering in the Discover Gloucester booth at the AAA Marketplace consumer show March 2-4, 2012 at Gillette Stadium.
The co-op booth cost, $2200, will be split by all partners- 13 so far at $169 each.
The price will go down with more partners ie. 15 partners would be perfect @ $147 each. We have committed to buying the booth- why not help yourself by joining in?
17,000 drive market consumers attend the show- very good exposure for our destination AND your business PLUS you’ll get the Booth’s lead list at the end of the show. Our booth will be next to Destination Salem; the North of Boston CVB is not participating at AAA this year.
Call or email Linn for "how-to" details. 978-290-9723, linn@seaportgloucester.org

10. It is the local Visitor Guide you see in Visitor’s hands, pockets & purses as they walk around the area.
9. 100,000+ copies get printed & distributed to visitors as near as here to as far as there!
8. Brides tuck them into Welcome bags for their guests; locals give them to visiting family & friends; tour operators in the US & abroad give them to their clients; US & Canadian Visitor Centers hand them out to travelers.
7. The Discover Gloucester Visitor Guide is available in 200+ Greater Boston hotels; all the north of Boston accommodations; nearly every attraction in the greater and north of Boston area; on Boston Common; Fenway Park; Gillette Stadium; Logan Airport; Faneuil Hall; route 95s Visitor Center in Salisbury & a lot of other visitor-centric places.
6. Your ad generates traffic to your business & to your website.
5. Short money for big exposure.
4. Every advertising dollar invested in the Discover Gloucester Visitor Guide goes to marketing & promoting the destination.
3. You help yourself & your business by being a partner in the volunteer effort to promote the destination. Let visitors know you are here! It’s true that many hands (and dollars) make light work- and a rising tide really does float all boats.
2. Visitation numbers are up due in part to exposure at trade shows, during FAMs, by co-operative advertising- all made possible by Visitor Guide ads.
