Blair County Convention Center Advertising Packages
Thousands of people are flocking to The Alleghenies each month to attend events taking place at the Blair County Convention Center. With this onslaught of new visitors, each business in Blair County must ask the question, "What can we be doing to attract these visitors to utilize our product/service?" To answer this question, the AMCVB is trying to make it as easy and affordable as possible for area businesses to get a "piece of the pie."
This package includes advertising on the LED Marquee Electronic Message Sign (located at the corner of Convention Center Boulevard & Convention Center Drive) and plasma screens located throughout the Convention Center, promotion materials in a display case, and a promotional message on the AMCVB Muzak Messaging System.
Co-op Advertising
Often the AMCVB will purchase full or multiple page advertising space in a national publication and then offer smaller spaces to our members. This allows our members to receive national exposure at a fraction of the cost. Past publications have included the Pennsylvania Travel Planner, Penn State Football Annual, Mid-Atlantic Events, Meetings East, Official Meetings Facilities Guide and Mid-Atlantic Meeting Planning Guide. Members are encouraged to contact the AMCVB Marketing Department with suggestions on additional advertising opportunities.
