Chamber e-Reminder

 

Attention Go-Guide Advertisers


If you have previously advertised in the Chamber’s Go-Guide, please be aware that the Go-Guide will be merged into the Vacation Planner this year (there will NOT be a separate “Go-Guide”) – and, Vacation Planner information and contracts will start to arrive in your mailbox this week and You Will NEED to Read This Information.

 

PLEASE DO NOT THROW THIS ENVELOPE AWAY – The 2007 Official Vacation Planner will have a whole new look and feel that is completely designed around the needs of our traveling public.  Not only will this reunite the County’s information into one master publication, it will also insure that visitors are aware of your business BEFORE they arrive – as well as when they get here! 

 

With adventuresome changes and more user resources than ever, it’s sure to be the hottest guide to find its way into the hands of the traveling public in a very long time and, we can’t wait to show you the finished product!

Did you know that our publications are laid out by a team of ONE?    Your early submission of Contracts and Artwork are a BIG HELP during the planning stages and always work to your favor.   Each year we receive a disproportionate number of late submissions and, even though we accept them with a smile, you can’t imagine the trouble and frustration this causes in the actual layout process.  It is far easier to make changes than it is to make room so, please help us – help you - by making time to complete your contract as soon as you receive it and returning it to us in one of the following ways:   

 

MAIL:   ATTN: Cathy Lynch

Door County Chamber of Commerce

P.O. Box 406

Sturgeon Bay, Wl 54235

 

FAX: (920) 743-7873

 

PERSONAL DELIVERY: 1015 Green Bay Road, Sturgeon Bay

 

P.S. If you do not receive a contract by August 21st, please contact Cathy at ext.812 or cathy@doorcounty.com

 


Online Examples of Charts and Ad Format

Two changes, which may affect the way you plan your Ad for this year’s Vacation Planner, are the Ad and Chart formats.   

 

The new format is designed to address the needs of today’s traveler and the way they gather information.   This will be a departure from the past we’re certain about the needed change. 

 

To help our visitors navigate the peninsula, color coding will enhance our publication by associating specific colors to areas within the County and then carrying that color through Charts, Maps, Listings and Display Ads. 

 

The following mock-ups were designed with elements at hand.  Please disregard any possible association with pictures or familiar names used to illustrate the new formats – they are only samples.
