Looking for a way to expose, connect, and expand your business?   

The Indianola Chamber has contracted with LAMAR to lease a billboard located in Indianola north on Highway 65/69 at the Hillcrest Avenue intersection.  This billboard is ranked number one for the number of impressions averaging 52,000 per week.  This is an excellent addition to the Think Indianola First campaign strategy to expose and connect residents and guests to Indianola businesses, while telling the story of Indianola.

Details of the billboard advertising opportunity follow:

• The cost if only one business is on the billboard is $1,300 for one month.
• The cost if two businesses share the billboard is $650.00 per business for one month.
• Participants must agree to work with the Chamber to ensure their marketing messages align with the Indianola story.
• LAMAR designs the billboard advertising each month, in cooperation with each business and the Chamber.

The following opportunities are available: Oct. 19 -  Nov. 15       
Dec. 12 - Jan. 10, 2018

In a recent survey of small businesses by Belly, 70% of the revenue of the small business respondents came from loyal customers, not new ones. Even if you sell something people only need once (caskets, perhaps?), there’s still the power of referral that you can capitalize on. So how do you make customers return or how do you encourage them to refer others to you?
