Have an event to promote?

To post an event to the Chamber Events Calendar, simply sign on to your business profile page on the Chamber website, using your logon credentials. If you need assistance, contact tom@camdenrockland.com.

If your news release serves to promote an upcoming event, we strongly recommend that you post the event on the Chamber's Events Calendar, as this online calendar is one of the primary planning tools used by locals and visitors alike.

Members may also bring event posters to our Visitor Centers in Camden and Rockland. No need to go to both offices; we are happy to deliver for you!

Have a special offer?

Communicate to two distinct audiences, depending on your offer:

The Chamber website has a Special Offers page, which is available to anyone browsing our website. Use this Special Offers platform to promote a lodging package, a holiday sale in your retail shop, 2-for-1 day sails, discounted event tickets - the possibilities are endless! To post a Special Offer, simply sign on to you business profile page on the Chamber website, using your logon credentials. If you need assistance, contact tom@camdenrockland.com.

Members may also share Member-to-Member Marketplace offers with fellow Chamber members in the Friday Report: Member News edition. Members are invited to email Tom Peaco with details of goods, programs, products, or services offered at special Chamber Member pricing. Please limit your offer to 75 words and include an expiration date not to exceed 3 months from posting date. If your offer does not require an expiration date, your post will remain live for 3 months, after which time you are welcome to submit a new offer.
