Member Spotlight Window Rental Chamber Spotlight Provides Members Marketing Opportunity The Indianola Chamber of Commerce has created a unique marketing opportunity for members. The "Member Spotlight" at the Chamber office will offer premium window space on the square for you to showcase your business. The two store-front windows are approximately 3' x 7' and can be rented for $600 each a month. A bargain when you compare this 24/7 advertisement opportunity to a full-color, full-page ad that runs once a week for 1 month that will cost you more than $3,600! This gives members not located on the Indianola square a chance to "spotlight" your business. Space is available for November and December! Please contact me at 515-961-6269 to further discuss this opportunity today. read more... Upcoming Local Events Not to Miss!
