What it is…
The Bastrop Chamber Map is a publication of the Bastrop Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber uses this publication to promote Bastrop in all of the areas that the Chamber is involved with including:
- Welcoming new residents
- Relocation packets (typically employees of businesses moving to the area)
- Attracting and welcoming new businesses
- Tourism
- and for the general public
The Chamber Map is a crucial publication that helps to tell the story of Bastrop and to showcase some of the Bastrop Chamber member businesses. The Map is also what is know as a non-dues revenue generator for the Chamber as well which is important when it comes to moving forward the mission of the Chamber without the need to always raise membership fees to do so. We typically see about a 70% renewal rate from advertisers from the previous issue to choose to participate again the next year.
The video above is for SAMPLE PURPOSES ONLY and shows the format with our McKinney Map as an example.
