2009 Provo/Orem Chamber Resource Guide

The Provo-Orem Chamber of Commerce and the Daily Herald are pleased to announce the 2009 Provo/Orem Chamber Resource Guide. As you are probably aware, the resource guide is a magazine with comprehensive information about Utah Valley. The magazine will be distributed with the Daily Herald on Sunday, February 1, 2009 and additional copies will be used by the Chamber to help attract new business over the course of the next year. The resource guide gives insight on our local communities, has a calendar of events in Utah County, and talks about major attractions in the valley. In addition, there are sections dedicated to Health Care, Education, Business and Economy, the Arts, and Recreation.

As a member of the Provo/Orem Chamber, we strongly encourage you to advertise in the resource guide. The magazine has a shelf life of one year, will have 40,000 magazines distributed throughout the Valley, and is a high-end product that will give your business greater appeal to your potential clients. The Daily Herald offers a great base for potential customers: 66% of our readers are married, 72% have attended college, 70% are homeowners, and 53.6% have household incomes over $50,000. That means that you will be reaching the people that have a higher discretionary income and will be able to purchase your products and services. Also, each Chamber member will receive a copy of the resource guide and this will present an excellent source for business to business marketing.

We have included a flyer with the advertising rates for the resource guide. Please take note that Chamber members get a discounted rate. Also, there is a 15% discount off of the chamber rates when you commit to advertising by November 26th. Please contact one of our Chamber Guide sales executives to take advantage of this great product.
