BENEFIT OF THE
MONTH
Do you
have a brochure or flyer promoting your busines?
Are you a current accommodation or general business
member with TSH? Is your brochure or flyer on
display in our VIC? And if not, WHY? With in
excess of 80,000 visitors every year coming into our VIC
at Mittagong it is the obvious place to have your
business promoted. Whilst we all know that the
internet is the easier route when planning a visit, the
request for brochures, both by mail and in person is
still very real. In fact we have found almost a
resurgence of interest in paper! With visitors
into our VIC wanting to take away with them information
in the written form. SO, get your brochure into
our shelves!
