Our 22st Year
We want to use our new web site
(http://www.artboard2advertising.com) to keep you posted on the many services Art Board II Advertising can
provide and the special programs we have coming up to promote your business.
2003 looks to be a very exciting time with many of our popular CO-OP Advertising Programs continuing from past years and
several new ones in the works. The Colorful Estes Park Summer Menu Guides were very popular with
visitors and advertisers alike and the Summer book grew to over 150 restaurants, shops and attractions
making it a very useful guide to what's happening in Estes Park. Look for full color for the Winter Menu
Guides and we'll continue the new section we called Discover Romantic Estes Park to promote the many
lodging packages available in the off season for romantic getaways and special occasions. Of course
we still offer custom design for color brochures and logos, plus copy writing, photography and a full range
of agency services.
ART BOARD II's ESTES PARK CO-OP AD PROGRAMS
Colorado's Official State Vacation Guide for 2003
We've already sold three pages for The 2003 Colorado State Vacation Guide CO-OP and expect to have four
pages at least. There are 600,000 copies, out for a full year, last year it featured 39 lodging properties of all
types, varying from Romantic B&B's to Historic Dude Ranches plus the Estes Park Menu Guide. We have
been doing these for ten years and hope to expand it with the addition of more attractions. We began
selling the 2003 book in late September. You need to contact us right away for good space availability. We
hope to post information on the web site.
Denver & Colorado Visitors Guide for 2003
We will soon start working on the 2003 DOVG CO-OP Ad and hope to wrap this up by January 1st. The 2003
ad was a full page with 16 advertisers. Would love to get two pages to expand the ads size to give Estes Park
more impact and take advantage of Denver's strong tourist economy. Large 500,000
circulation (two issue), Denver's large ad budget and close proximity make this an attractive publication for Estes to piggy-back their
ads to. You should have gotten a mailing from the publisher with information on the book, if not give us a call.
We will try to get the information on the
co-op ad out later this month and post it on the web site.
INCREDIBLE COLORADO
Incredible Colorado Co-op began as a page and a half then they offered us the other half page and it will be
two full pages for the last two issues. The Co-op ads featured 23 advertisers. We will again be selling this as
a three issue (full year) package when it comes up next summer. This publication offers some very interesting
prospects for advertisers who promote on the web. The book features a free listing on the Denver Post
Web Page with free Hot Link to the advertisers web page. We get two pages of free editorial on Estes Park
and RMNP with our ad. Orders for books via the web were running ahead of expectations. We will post the
information on our web page when we get ready to sell next summer. Thank you for your support.
Other CO-OP Ad & Publication Projects
We are considering several other CO-OP ads and New Publication projects - each lending itself to solving a
specific problem for Estes Park advertisers in the New Millennium. If you have any ideas for New CO-OP ads
or Publications you'd like to see us do give me a call at 586-6615 or email us.
ART BOARD II's PUBLICATIONS
Estes Park Menu Guides© - 2003 Summer COLOR Edition
The Estes Park Menu Guides with COLOR were a smash hit this Summer and had us scrambling to keep
up with the demand. The Menu Guides continue to be very popular with visitors and advertisers alike and the
addition of COLOR only added to the excitement. We plan to keep all the good things
that make the menu guides so popular, the Special Events Schedules, Area Maps, Street Maps, Cuisine
Indexes and special features like the Artist & Gallery Guide, Antiques & Collectibles, Showcase Estes Park,
Discover Romantic Estes Park & Essential Services (new for 01) and the Hiking Map Guide.
Useful information is why people prefer the Menu Guide 3 to 1 over other books. Menu Guide is the most
complete and most useful guide to what's happening. Special Color positions are limited so reserve early.
Estes Park Menu Guides© - Winter COLOR Edition
We will be adding color to the Winter Menu Guides
also. Sales will be starting any day now and these books will be working hard to make sure every visitor
to Estes has a great stay during the late Fall, Winter and Spring. The Color Menu Guides are so popular
we now suggest that they be given to each guest when they check in. Many motels now use a binder system
and we want folks to have their very own copy of the Menu Guide to take with them and use. The 2001-02
winter edition sales to begin in October. Prices and details will be out soon and posted on the web site.

My wife and I own Art Board II and I have 40 plus
years of advertising knowledge and experience. We work hard to find better ways to promote Estes Park
because we feel that it helps everyone up here to succeed. I hope this will give you an overview of just who we are
and what we do and perhaps give you some ideas of how we may be of help to you in the coming year. Feel
free to call us if we can be of any service or offer any advise.
