2015 Berea Magazine Advertising Opportunities

The Berea Chamber of Commerce has once again part-nered with The Berea Citizen to publish and print the 2015 Berea Magazine. As the Chamber’s official publication, the Berea Magazine is a core marketing piece for all relocation requests and inquiries about Berea. This full-color, high gloss maga-zine will be updated for 2015 in an effort to address the numerous questions of new residents and tourists alike. The publication provides area businesses with a variety of ad sizes at very cost effective prices for advertising their business. Advertising sales will be coordinated by Kyle Sowers, while the editorial content will be managed by the staff of The Berea Citizen. Due to demand, printing will now be done annually with distribution of 7,500 copies through the Berea Chamber of Commerce. An advertising agreement with 2015 rates can be found on page 10 of this newsletter. Thanks for your support of this important marketing tool! Sincerely,

David
