Marketing Your Business

Helping you spread the word … that’s what we do! Advertising via one of our communications (social media, Chamber Connection eNewsletter, website, Chamber TV) is a great way to raise your visibility. 

Chamber TV

The Assiniboia Chamber office benefits from an excellent walk-by traffic location, situated across the bridge to Assiniboine Park and next to Sargent Sundae on Portage Avenune. We enhance the experience with a 50" TV in our front widow, attracting people passing by ( often enjoying their ice cream) who can view captivating marketing loops. These loops feature Chamber News, Events ( Chamber and Community), Member News, Advertisements, Quotes, and more. 

Literature Displays

Thanks to our prime office location (across the Portage Avenue bridge entrance to Assiniboine Park), we enjoy a high volume of foot traffic. People often visit us to ask questions, collect promotional materials, attraction flyers, and to watch our Chamber TV. We take delight in engaging with the public and promoting our members. Our office proudly displays member flyers and business cards, readily available for us to distribute to our visitors.
