Brochure Advertising
SEASPAR offers brochure advertising opportunities for businesses and community associates to enhance their market exposure, increase sales and services, and create greater visibility to the public.
Brochure information
At least 4,600 copies are printed 3 times per year.
Brochures are distributed within SEASPAR’s eleven member entities to park district facilities, village halls, libraries, schools, and social service agencies and organizations. They are also distributed beyond SEASPAR’s borders to agencies serving people with disabilities. Brochures are direct mailed to all current participants and those who ask to receive the brochure.
The brochures have a “shelf life” of three-four months, as they contain information about activities that cover three-four months. Example: The fall brochure will begin distribution in early August and contains information about programs through December.
Space available for advertising
The back cover and the inside back cover (which faces the registration form) are available.
