Local Vibes – the Lake Zurich Area Chamber of Commerce NEW! Quarterly Publication

A go-to guide for what’s happening in Lake Zurich, Long Grove, Kildeer, Deer Park, & Hawthorn Woods

For years we have published an annual community guide that mailed one time in January. While much success was had from the magazine and we had many loyal advertisers, we want to bring our members something that will be seasonal and drop in mailboxes of 15,000 residents and businesses (same as the annual guide) four times each year. As they say in marketing, the more touchpoints the better. This new 5.5 x 8.5 quarterly publication, will offer timely events, sites to see, places to shop & dine, and services needed for personal and business.  This is also the perfect publication to market seasonal events and activities.  

Advertising in Local Vibes is an easy, cost-effective way to promote your business!
