As I'm sure your aware, the Eblast is our weekly newsletter that goes out to around 500 people and contains a variety of information about Kitimat, Businesses, Education and more. As a member you have the opportunity to to advertise in the Eblast. We typically charge $20 per ad per week but depending on what the ad is for we may waive the fee. An example of something we would consider waiving the fee for would be a pet adoption campaign for the SPCA or a food bank donation campaign such as NoFrills "The Biggest Haul of Them All".
We have collaborated with Spruce Tree Media to bring "Kitimat what's the future" to life. This is a podcast that discusses the current on-goings of Kitimat and its businesses. You have the opportunity to appear on the podcast to talk about whatever your business or organization has going on. This could be an upcoming event or program, recruitment, or just general updates you have for the community. You can discuss just about anything you'd like. The best part about this is that not only is it entirely FREE for chamber members but you can appear on as many episodes as you'd like.
