LEONARDTOWN, Md. — Visit St. Mary’s MD (VSMMD) is offering a virtual training session on its new Marketing and Sponsorship Program, designed to support tourism-related events and initiatives in St. Mary’s County. The session will take place on March 20 from 10 to 11 a.m. via Microsoft Teams.
The program, which launched on Jan. 1, provides financial and marketing assistance to event planners through two initiatives: the Marketing & Advertising Amplification Program (MAAP) and Event Sponsorships. These efforts aim to increase event attendance, boost destination awareness and encourage overnight stays in the county.
MAAP offers advertising and promotional support, including print and digital advertising, search engine optimization, television and radio promotions, and paid social media campaigns. Event Sponsorships provide direct financial backing to new, growing and signature events that attract overnight visitors and create marketing opportunities for VSMMD.
Eligible applicants include tourism-related businesses, nonprofits, event organizers, sports groups and community organizations. Those interested in learning more about the program and application process are encouraged to attend the virtual training session.
