Benefits of Partnership
At Visit Portland, Maine’s Convention and Visitors Bureau – partnerships are at the heart of our customer service approach. By teaming up with local businesses, organizations, and tourism agencies, we amplify promotion efforts, offer tailored support, and facilitate collaborative marketing initiatives. Together, we strive to enhance visitor experiences and showcase the best of what Greater Portland has to offer, ensuring mutual success and satisfaction.
Group Marketing
Visit Portland is the only organization actively working to promote Maine as a meetings destination for Conventions, Meetings, Events, Sports, Reunions, and Weddings. Our group marketing team attends tradeshows and works with planners to bring their group or event to Maine. Those event leads are then disseminated to our partners to boost their local businesses.
Events + Deals
Get in front of your audience by promoting your initiatives on our high-performing Events Calendar and Deals + Packages. Partners post events and deals through their Web Dashboard – including a photograph, event description, and links to drive traffic to a booking engine or website.
Marketing Opportunities
The Visit Portland team works year round to bring visitors to the region and state! As a result, we do what most people thinks “just happens!” Our mission is to promote visitation to Greater Portland and thus provide local businesses with exposure via our highly referenced platforms.
PARTNER TESTIMONIAL
“We’ve belonged to Visit Portland for over 30 years because the community interaction, business leads, resources for publications and advertising, as well as referrals from networking are tremendous. We not only cover our membership expense with 1 or 2 events, our partnership generates 30-40% beyond that!”
