Grand Strand Living® – the marketing reach you need – the relocation guide they’ll want.
Grand Strand Living® is a must have for those who are relocating to the Myrtle Beach area. It is the chamber’s official and only fulfillment piece for newcomer inquiries and is the primary business guide to the area for established residents. We take out some of the frustrations of moving to a new town by highlighting community information, school statistics, housing options, health care choices and much more. Grand Strand Living puts your business in front of people actively looking to relocate, retire or find a trusted chamber member for products and services.
Included in Grand Strand Living are membership listings, both alphabetical and categorical, with two color ads in the categorical section in addition to the four-color ads throughout the book. Even businesses with small advertising budgets (four-color ads start at $1,147.00) can make an impact and reach thousands of potential customers by advertising in Grand Strand Living. A total of 35,000 will be printed also e-Guide with on-line link.
It is the responsibility of the advertiser, not the advertiser’s ad agency, to ensure prompt payment and timely submission of materials.

(843) 916-7236 or at Johanna.Hodge@VisitMyrtleBeach.com for pricing and ordering instructions. Orders must be placed by December 15, 2008.
