Illustrated Map of Los Gatos
The Chamber is working on an illustrated map of Los Gatos. Did you know that a map is our the most requested item? We've created a fun, easy-to-navigate map of Los Gatos, that will be distributed locally to out-of-town visitors and throughout the region to promote travel to our town.
This is a great advertising opportunity! The inside illustrated map will be surrounded by 40 display ads that 1-7/8" square. There are also ads on the back and inside the map. Our rep, David Baum, is in Town for the next week. He'll be visiting businesses to see if you'd like to advertise.
