Number One Christmas Podcast Sponsorship Hits the Mark

The Real Christmas Tree Board is pleased with its cost-effective sponsorship of the #1 Christmas Podcast  Christmas Countdown. In the first of two RCTB-sponsored episodes, RCTB received a generous 11-minute showcase (sponsorship guaranteed a 2-3 minute segment) at the 43-minute mark in the YouTube segment. The hosts also shared their number one reason for choosing a real Christmas tree — its fresh scent — on their Instagram channel
