SewariLcom q12(.0 Staersere. vet„`°f G Seward Chamber of Commerce Conference and Visitors Bureau The mission of the Seward Chamber is to promote and support our members in maintaining a diversified economy and positive business and living environment in the greater Seward area. Looking ahead to 2012: • The Seward Destination Guide: Exciting new photos within, excellent cover! New this year will be a Harbor Page, thanks to the combined effort of kari Anderson & Yvette Galbraith, AK Marketing Consultants. Yvette was also the one to say "Hey, let's get our `Where to Find Services' members some advertising". She's been approaching local sponsors of Chamber events with a free ad opportunity as an extra thank-you for their great sponsorship. This coming spring we'll host an Open House at the Chamber, inviting local businesses to preview the guide and take a good supply for distribution. • A brand new look and updated technology for seward.com. New website will officially debut at our Dec 2nd membership meeting. We have it all on seward.com with tourist information, links to Seward city services and the harbormaster, an online destination guide and Seward video. • Maintain our connections via memberships to the US and State Chamber, ATIA and KPTMC. • Print and web advertising in addition to our Seward Guide --- besides the publications on the spreadsheet, we are returning to Bell's Alaska Map Book —advertisers benefit with online links. We are also looking at "The Alaska App" provided by the Alaska Channel. • We invest in "ChamberMaster" software, top of the line software for Chamber Members, allowing updates and web enhancements in a timely, cost-effective manner. Seward Chamber of Commerce PO Box 749 Seward, Alaska 99664 • Event Promotion - The Big Three — The Halibut Tournament in June, the Mt. Marathon Race, and the Silver Salmon Derby — all bring consumers to Seward. • Market Seward to Cruise Ship & Shipping Industries in Seattle next spring. • Promote Seward in Alaska Airlines Magazine as a conference destination, and offer conference support and advertising through our Monday morning E- newsletter. • Attendance at Sports & Recreation Shows — Fairbanks Outdoor Show, Mat-Su Outdoor Show & The Great Alaskan Sportsman Show in Anchorage. • Attendance at a Commercial Trade Show — Pacific Marine Expo in Seattle in November. • Operate a year-round visitor information center, supporting travelers and individuals seeking to relocate to Seward. • Update and keep current Economic Development Packets. • Support Travel Writers and Media and provide editors with narrative text and photos. We appreciate your continued support and confidence in the Chamber to provide the very best of our marketing efforts to promote Seward as a premiere tourism destination as well as the perfect conference & meeting place. We are doing our best to showcase The Port of Seward, the many educational opportunites Seward has to offer, and the quality of life we enjoy here in our home town. 1 � AAlarketing & Promotion city Contract 1150%of 2010 bed tax revenue $164,198.00 City of Seward Marketing Memberships $1,500.00 US/State Chamber, ATIA Print and Web Advertising $6,500.00 AK Bus Monthly, Fish Journal AAA, AK Mag, KPTMC, WHERE, ATIA, AARP Japanese, $13,500.00 Life After 50 $5,500.00 Graphics/Production Seward.com $3,500.00 OSponsorship of Activities (AK State Chamber, ATIA) $750.00 Reprint Seward Walking Map $8,750.00 Seward Guide Distribution $9,000.00 Seward Guide Postage and Freight $14,480.00 Overhead Cost $61,980.00 Trade Shows/Forums $2,750.00 Trade Show Displays $3,000.00 Co-Op Trade Show Participation $2,500.00 PME Travel $3,000.00 Pacific Marine Expo $450.00 Winter Show Travel • $1,350.00 GA Sports Show Travel $1,275.00 Great Alaska Sportsmans Show $1,800.00 Fbanks & Mat-Su Show Travel $1,475.00 Other Alaska Shows $17,480.00 Overhead Cost $35,080.00 Media Support $400.00 Media Support/Journalist trips to Seward $1,240.00 Overhead Cost $1,640.00 Familiarization Tours $3,000.00 Cruise Ship Industry Travel $3,000.00 Other Industry Recruiting $1,000.00 Conference Promotion $2,750.00 Industry Conference (Attendance) $9,130.00 Overhead Cost $18,880.00 Conferences $1,250.00 Alaska State Chamber Conference $1,250.00 ATIA Travel $350.00 Alaska Travel Industry Registration $500.00 KPTMC Board Participation & Conference $9,360.00 Overhead Cost $12,710.00 Event Promotion $2,600.00 Brochure & Guide $400.00 MMR & SSD Advertising/Logo Design $1,000.00 July 4th Advertising $12,000.00 Salmon Derby Advertising $1,500.00 Halibut Tournament Advertising $1,640.00 Spring Break-up Festival Advertising $2,000.00 Winter Event Advertising/Tsunami Film Festival $10,768.00 Overhead Cost $31,908.00 Community Event $500.00 Military Appreciation $500.00 $62,458.00 City Overhead Allocation $164,198.00 Total City s > vwaru Gulil About Relocate Development Conferences MEMBERS 1( asV 51ari3Qet .
