Marketing Opportunities

The Monterey Peninsula Chamber of Commerce provides you with the opportunity to promote your business to its membership and beyond.

We encourage you to utilize the resources of the Chamber, including some of the following opportunities:

Website Listing: Our mpcc.com website is one way people and businesses from around the corner or around the world find you. It is one of the Chamber’s best referral tools, available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. As a member, your contact information, as well as links to your email and website, is setup when you join. We have added the ability for members to purchase a strategically placed banner ad or an enhanced profile to increase their visibility within our site. Traffic on the Chamber site is significant, with user sessions at around 19,000 per month.

Annual Directory: Published annually, this 5,000 copy directory offers multiple ways to advertise and market your business. As a member you receive two free listings (alpha and categorical). There is also advertising available at very attractive rates. Ad sales begin in the fall. Watch your fax, email and mailbox for the notices.

ChamberLink: Every Monday in the Monterey County Herald, you will see Monterey Peninsula Chamber’s two page “ChamberLink.” New members are announced with a profile description, as well as contact information. All advertisement space on this page is solely for Chamber members. Available to you at discounted rates directly from the Herald. All issues of the ChamberLink are posted to mpcc.com.

MemberLink: The Chamber’s monthly online newsletter contains upcoming useful articles, event announcements, member news and hyperlinked advertisements. This email publication efficiently exposes your business to the Chamber’s membership. Simply contact Judy Currier judy@mpcc.com to purchase your ad and then provide electronic copy to brad@mpcc.com.

Mailing Labels: If you are interested in doing your own direct mailing, here is the perfect solution. Our entire membership mailing list is available on labels, ready for use, or in Excel format.
Cost: $150.00 for one time use.

Mixers: Hosting a Mixer is an excellent way to showcase your business, because the venue is your business. Mixers enable attendees to experience firsthand the service, ambience, services and products you offer. Mixers are very popular, generally luring 50-100 attendees.

Brown Bags: Opportunities for sharing and showcasing expertise are available to member businesses at these free seminars. The seminars are held during the lunch hour (12:30pm – 1:30pm) on the second Wednesday of each month. Contact Wendy Brickman, Brickman Marketing at 831-633-4444 for more information.

Event Networking Table: Display your brochures, flyers, business cards, and other promotional materials at Chamber events free of charge.

Area Street Map: This publication is produced annually. It is available at the Chamber office, sent in relocation packets and distributed upon request to all interested parties. Ad sales begin in at the beginning of the year.

Lobby Literature Display: 600-900 guests and visitors walk into the Chamber lobby every month. Members are encouraged to bring in their business cards and brochures for display at no cost. Full page, prime advertising display placement is also available. Contact Judy Currier for rates.

Relocation Packets: For a nominal fee, place your promotional material in one of the most requested packets the Chamber offers. We receive hundreds of requests from individuals and businesses interested in relocating to the area. Is this your target market? If so, contact Jesse Ostrom for more information.
