Advertising Opportunities

Members can take advantage of advertising opportunities facilitated by the Chamber. The following outlines all advertising opportunities. For information, please contact JoAnn Ryan at 860-482-6586 or joann@nwctchamberofcommerce.org.

The Chamber membership directory is printed annually and a digital version is posted online. Each member is listed alphabetically, by category and by contact person. Members are asked to update their company profiles each fall. In addition to company information, Chamber programs, services and events are also highlighted in the directory, as well as demographic information on the 21 towns in the region, and a listing of state and federal elected officials.
Display advertising opportunities for member businesses are available in our forthcoming Directory. E&M Consulting, which produces the directories for 2017, 208 and 2019, is responsible for all display advertising. For information, please contact Tyler Gilboe with E&M at 860-656-9254, 800-572-0011 or tyler@emconsultinginc.com.

All members have the opportunity to present a promotional discount to other Chamber members to encourage Chamber members to shop locally with other members through the Membership Discount Program. Your promotion will be advertised to all members and when they shop or do business with you, they will present their discount card to you so you become aware of the effectiveness of your promotion with other members.

To submit your promotional discount to the program, contact JoAnn Ryan at 860-482-6586 or joann@nwctchamberofcommerce.org.

All members have the opportunity to place their informational or advertising material in the lobby area of the Chamber suite on Field Street. All individuals that enter the Chamber will be exposed to this area and are encouraged to take back information pertaining to the businesses they are interested in connecting with.

As part of your membership, members can purchase the latest version of the membership mailing list to create your own direct mail campaigns.

The Northwest Connecticut Chamber of Commerce maintains a small satellite location within the KidsPlay Children’s Museum on Main Street in Torrington.
