Locally known as a longstanding advocate of Camp Pendleton, the Oceanside Chamber of Commerce has once again partnered with local military groups to produce a military publication, and to sell advertising for this sure to be coveted keepsake and military publication. By sponsoring an ad, your business will not only reach highly valued audiences, but will additionally gain goodwill in the target audiences, by widening Camp Pendleton’s reach to more widely share the positive story of the women, marines, military and the Camp Pendleton Marine Corp base.
 
How powerful are these audiences, and this momentous event? See the San Diego Union Tribune story on the 75th Women Marines Aboard Camp Pendleton, and consider the following power-packed stats:
 
Within a 50-mile radius of Camp Pendleton reside 300,000+ active duty military, veterans, retirees, civilian contractors and their dependents, including the women making and/or influencing a reported 85% of buying decisions and purchases. These women make and influence purchases for their households, workplace, minor and adult children, significant others, extended family, neighbors, and even friends.
 
Add the massive Camp Pendleton contribution totaling $4.1 billion in annual payroll dollars, with additional allowances for food and housing, to better understand the massive dollars within these two markets (women and the military). Now add the fact that 70% of active duty military live off Camp Pendleton, thereby driving off-base spending and the economies associated with housing, cars, clothing, food, insurance, investments and more, to fully understand what you, your business, employees and bank accounts, have to gain.

​With the efficiency of a military logistics expert, our Camp Pendleton liaison is coordinating magazine distribution aboard Camp Pendleton, at selected military facilities in San Diego, and nationwide. The Chamber’s military partners are additionally coordinating and producing the publication’s editorial content. Features include stories about local women Marines and those who were “first” to break new ground.  Planned content includes historic and recent photos, timelines, graphics, and stories, about the women Marines and Camp Pendleton.

Extended audiences reached via the Chamber's City of Oceanside high-traffic distribution points will include local Oceanside consumers (residents and those working in the community), visiting tourists; travelers, new move-ins, businesses and all stopping to spend their money in Oceanside. The publication will additionally be available online via a variety of high-traffic websites and social media platforms. 

If you currently work with the United States government, Marines, Navy, Armed Forces, defense, security, technology, electronics and/or any industry working with the military, or would like to work with the foregoing in the future, ensure your company's support and interest is known, by sponsoring your business advertising message now.

If your answer if yes, you'll truly appreciate the 70% of local military consumers living off Camp Pendleton!
