Spring Time is Banner Time
A
limited number of Street Banner poles are available for new
members of the South Milwaukee Chamber of Commerce Street
Banner Program. Street Banners immediately increase the visibility of your
business throughout the community of South Milwaukee. As a member of the Chamber Street Banner Program, you will
find that a customized banner bearing your company name is one
of the most effective ways to promote instant name recognition
for your business and draw new customers to your door.
The banners are hung in the
heart of the downtown South Milwaukee running along 10th and
Milwaukee Avenues in spring, then removed in late fall.
The six month season provides maximum exposure for
participating members as the banners are viewed everyday by
car and foot traffic as well as during special sidewalk events
and parades
The street banners are printed on both sides with a
cross over pattern including the South Milwaukee logo on the
bottom. They
include vibrant summer colors to attract attention and are
22” wide and 6’ long made of 15 oz vinyl.
The banners are UV protected to give us a fresh look
every season. Pole locations are reserved on a first come first served
basis. Current
program participants will retain their reserved pole(s).
Single

First
year $200, plus $10 set-up fee
Each
year thereafter: $75.00
Two
Banners Purchased:
First
year $300, plus $10 set-up fee

The annual fee covers the costs of repairs and maintenance
of the banner.

Annual fees must be paid in advance by April 2nd for
membership to remain active.
