RBAA is beginning a major advertising campaign
and you are part of it. Only three advertising
opportunities remain for our members
The Rancho Bernardo Business Association is arranging a full-year print advertising
campaign with our local newspapers. We will be promoting our members with a full
page color ad in both the News Journal and The Sun Signature.
All members will be listed categorically and ads are available to members for only
$185 per month. Ad space is limited, so if you are interested in advertising, please
realize that advertising is on a first-come first-serve basis and must be purchased
for a full year. You will, however, be billed monthly rather than upfront.
Click here to view the ad format. Call Mary at 858-451-3406
or email her at:
marys@rbbusinessassociation.com to purchase your ad space. Advertising
will begin in June. Your RBBA is working hard for you and this is just one of the
benefits we are providing to promote your business to the community.
RBBA co-sponsors with the San Diego Daily Transcript
The RBBA was a co-sponsor with the San Diego Daily Transcript for a "Meet the Media" at the Bernardo Winery on June 25th. Thanks to our members who participated. For a photo album of this event click here.
