Online Marketing Opportunities
Upper Level Categorical Links
Separate from the business directory, these links are located on VisitMyrtleBeach.com on pages that correspond to membership categories. Only advertisers with memberships based on the respective category may purchase an upper-level link on a page. Additional upper-level links may be purchased by those who buy categorical links.
Note: In order to participate in upper level categorical links, members must contribute $1 per rented room night for accommodations members that are not participating in the TDF tax, or a 1 percent marketing fee or a nonparticipating advertising cost for activities and dining members that are not participating in the TDF tax.
Enhanced Business Directory Listings
Each member of the chamber is entitled to five free listings in the Business Directory. Members may choose to enhance their free listing. For a small fee, the chamber will make the link stand out by putting it in a color box and bolding the text.
