VISION

MEDIA INFORMATION

The Business Magazine of the Altrincham & Sale Chamber of Commerce

From November 2014 the official Altrincham

& Sale Chamber of Commerce magazine will

be published by Sale-based Business Connect

Publishing Limited.

The fresh new look and name will offer a

fantastic opportunity to raise the profile of the

Chamber along with its members who will

feature in the magazine.

Business Vision will be crammed full of articles,

news, regular features, special offers for

Chamber members and full coverage of all

Chamber events. There will be in-depth articles

and interviews with Chamber members taking

a detailed look at their businesses, and all

Chamber events will be reviewed.

The magazine will promote members, along

with the Chamber itself to the wider business

communities of Altrincham and Sale, and will

also serve as an essential recruitment tool to

actively encourage new members to join.

Published quarterly, 1,000 issues will be printed

and a copy will be posted by mail to every

Chamber member. The

remaining magazines will

be distributed to a targeted

selection of business hubs,

networking groups,

business and

conference venues

and business

related sites across

south Trafford.

In addition to the printed edition, an online

edition will be published and sent out as an e-shot

to a growing database of email subscribers across

the south Trafford business community. Currently

the subscription list stands at over 1,000 and will

continue to grow issue by issue.

Dovetailed with both the printed and online issues

will be a consolidated social media campaign,

integrating the existing Chamber website along

with linked activity across Twitter, Facebook,

LinkedIn and a new YouTube channel.

The Chamber itself offers unrivalled business

support, mentoring, networking, presentations

and training sessions, plus local knowledge and

access to the local business community.

This is all featured in Business Vision which will

drive the profile of the Chamber and its members

forward across one of the fastest-growing

business communities of Greater Manchester.
