A Word from the President
This week, in partnership with The News Herald, we are introducing a Members Only advertising page in The News Herald. This is another opportunity for us to provide our membership with a tangible product that will help boost your visibility in Loudon County. Because it is a special page for The Chamber, you will be able to advertise at a considerably reduced rate and have The Chamber name behind you. This is another tool to help in attaining one of our main goals in 2021. That goal is to provide you with creative ways to help grow your business. Contact The News Herald directly to take advantage of this program!
As always, take a look at the full calendar and support your fellow members.

Helping businesses move forward in the wake of Covid19
The News-Herald and the Loudon County Chamber of Commerce are pleased to announce a new partnership to help support local businesses recover from the effects of Covid19. The News-Herald has agreed to reserve the entirety of the back page of the News-Herald newspaper for the use of the Chamber of Commerce. The back page will be split into ten spaces that may be purchased at a significantly discounted rate (more than 50% off!). In order to qualify to advertise in this space you must:
Be a Loudon County Chamber of Commerce Member.
Be willing to advertise a discount to News-Herald subscribers for the entirety of one month (4 or 5 weeks depending on the month).
Pay in advance for ad placement.
Provide your own graphic (size of 4.937 inches by 3.33 inches) by the deadline requested.
Seeing that there are only 10 available spaces per month, I will be booking Chamber Members on a first come first served basis. My goal is to have the first edition on March 3rd. This means I need to know by this Friday who will be in the paper. I suggest you contact me quickly! Contact Wendy Bretz at wendy.bretz@news-herald.net.
