Be Seen...Be a Sponsor!

If you'd like to gain some additional visibility or momentum for your business, the Newburyport Chamber has some great upcoming sponsorship opportunities.

1) In addition to our annual Memorial Day Springfest, we will be hosting a children's carnival and an adult beer garden. This fun, family event will likely draw thousands of visitors and locals alike, and will be an advantageous opportunity to gain exposure.

2) In June, the Chamber will be unveiling our new logo at our annual meeting at which Governor Charlie Baker will act as keynote speaker. This event, which draws many different attendees and demographics, is a unique chance to display and disperse your business materials and signage.

3) Finally, the Chamber's annual golf tournament is chock full of opportunities to sponsor various parts of the course: from different holes to golf carts to table spreads, there are plenty of ways to ensure that your business is seen.
