NEW - Virtual Goodie Bags!
As part of our effort to become a greener event, we’re pleased to announce virtual goodie bags in 2011. This marketing opportunity allows companies to post  information and links to coupons and offers all accessible through the Tri-City Medical Center Carlsbad Marathon website at a budget-friendly cost of only $700. When you purchase a virtual goodie bag insert, your company information as well as a link to either a website or a downloadable pdf will be included in our virtual goodie bag. For one month prior to, and two weeks after the January 23 event, the virtual goodie bag will be featured on the high-traffic Carlsbad Marathon website. In addition to being available on the event website, the virtual goodie bag link will also be emailed to all 10,000 full and half marathon participants, 4,000 Kids Marathon Mile participants and 2,000 race volunteers.  In addition, a link will be included in all event email blasts. In comparison to the traditional one touchpoint goodie bags, the virtual goodie bag offers far-greater exposure because of its multiple customer touchpoints.
