Connecticut Office of Tourism announces brochure distribution partner for Connecticut Welcome Centers
The State Office of Tourism has been able to secure more racks for your brochures at all Welcome Center locations except Westbrook. While recent layoffs have eliminated Welcome Center staffing, CTM Media Group is stepping up to help receive and restock brochures at the Centers – at no cost. Or you may deliver and restock your own literature at any of the five Welcome Centers.
To arrange for a one-time shipment to CTM’s warehouse:
- Contact CTM Media Group Representative Laura Capshaw at lcapshaw@ctmmedia.com.
- After contacting Laura, ship boxed brochures to: CTM Media Group, 11 Largo Drive South, Stamford, CT 06907, Attention: Mark Layton.
- Label each box FREE WELCOME CENTER, along with the name of the desired Welcome Center and quantity enclosed. If sending multiple boxes please number each box. (Example: Box 1 of 3.)
