DNBIA Co-op Advertising Opportunities
The mandate of the Downtown Nanaimo Business Improvement Association is to assist our members in becoming the best and most prosperous businesses they can be. To help facilitate this, the DNBIA offers subsidized, local, co-operative advertising opportunities in both the Nanaimo Daily News and Nanaimo News Bulletin as well as with Island Radio, 91.7 Coast FM and /A\ TV.

When a DNBIA member participates in a co-operative advertising program, the savings are substantial. For most campaigns, the savings are up to 45% off regular prices! Most campaigns are done on a monthly basis, however, some are more seasonal.

The bottom line is that because of these huge savings, the spots tend to sell out quickly. So that you’re not disappointed, please open any Marketing News Flashes the DNBIA sends out and then contact one of the advertising reps listed to take advantage of these great deals today.
