Advertising
Advertising and marketing your business is critical to your success and it can be an expensive undertaking. The Woodstock Chamber and Real Woodstock try to offer members and local businesses affordable collaborative advertising opportunities throughout the year.
Chamber Community Guide
8,000 copies of the annual Woodstock Area Chamber of Commerce and Industry Community Guide are produced in Jan/Feb each year and distributed as an insert in the Northwest Herald plus available year-round at local businesses, City of Woodstock offices and the Chamber Visitor Center. We also distribute the guide at various community events. All chamber members are listed in the business directory pages and special advertising rates are available for Chamber members, however any business may become an advertiser. Contact the chamber office if you are interested in becoming an advertiser and we will have Mark Solak from the Northwest Herald contact you when he starts the next community guide edition.
Chamber Website
The Chamber website is a valuable tool for member businesses when actively used. Logging into your account to keep company information up to date is critical. The website offers you several ways to promote your business for free as part of your membership as well as for additional fees.
