Target Northwest Illinois visitors with a message that matters!
Blackhawk Waterways Convention and Visitors Bureau is producing a Community Guide with helpful features for visitors to Northern Illinois. This beautiful, four-color directory will include exceptional photography, a community profile, a calendar of special events, accommodations, attractions and restaurant listings.
This guide will be distributed as one of Blackhawk Waterways’ primary fulfillment pieces when prospective visitors seek information about traveling to the region or relocating their home or business to the Northern Illinois area. In addition, thousands of copies will be distributed at local hotels, motels, campgrounds and attractions.
We are offering a limited number of advertising spaces at reasonable rates. If you’d like to distribute a message that matters to thousands of potential customers who will visit the Blackhawk Waterways region, just give Jack Hughes a call at (605) 722-7111. You have the first opportunity to reserve your advertising space. Don’t miss this opportunity. And, thanks for your continued support!
