So I’m at the gas station this afternoon filling up and barely paying attention to the television on top of the gas pump, until…

It starts talking about an event happening in my neighborhood. Talk about targeted marketing.

If your a nonprofit organization or your civic group has a charity event upcoming, in addition to the other promotional outreach, you should consider adding Gas Station Television to your mix of promotion.

GSTV will feature your event on their website as well at the pump — even on their Facebook and Twitter.

According to the site, “Your Neighborhood” is a community-powered Web site and Gas Station TV program that allows people to advertise their community events for free.”

Anyone can submit, share and promote their community-focused events and causes on Your Neighborhood.

So why not submit your event. Who knows… next time your at the pump, you may see some free publicity! And maybe that’ll help ease the “pain at the pump” from the high gas prices!
