The magazine presents our area as an attractive and progressive place to live, work, shop and visit. It includes color photography of people, places and events, as well as interesting features and profiles.

Some of the features included in this magazine are:

These are being delivered to select businesses including real estate companies, health care providers, financial institutions and advertisers for distribution as well as to businesses that purchased ads.

Please stop by the Chamber today for your personal copy!

The Chamber is proud to announce that we now have brochure racks installed in our new Chamber building! Chamber Members are welcome to display brochures in the Chamber’s brochure racks located in our “Area Information Room” at 23150 Highway 59, Robertsdale.

Visitors enter the Chamber daily to inquire about different businesses, the community, relocation, and much more. Members have the opportunity to reach these visitors by displaying their brochures in our Chamber.

• Materials must meet the following size requirements: Either 8 1/2 x 11 inches (for fliers) or approximately 4 x 9 inches (for -fold brochures).
• The Chamber cannot monitor the quantity a visitor takes from the brochure rack (i.e., coupons, special offers, etc.).
• The Chamber cannot guarantee the length of time a member’s material will be displayed, nor the quantity on hand.

We also have an area to display your business cards!
