Special AMCVB Bundled Advertising Packages- Thousands of people are flocking to Altoona/Blair County in the Alleghenies each month. Before they arrive, a majority of these new visitors are preparing for their trips by doing research on the Internet. Taking this constant wave of new visitors into consideration, each organization in Altoona/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 organizations to get a "piece of the pie." By exposing your business in printed ads in the visitors guide, listings and videos on the AMCVB website, Video Commercials on AMCVB travel themed Video Channels and special AMCVB travel related Social Media Fan Pages, you are providing your organization with MAXIMUM exposure to thousands of visitors preparing and traveling to Altoona/Blair County.

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, Pursuits Magazine and Penn State Football Annual. Members are encouraged to contact the AMCVB Marketing Department with suggestions on additional advertising opportunities.
