How to Get the Most from Your Membership in 2012.....
Use these value added services and your membership can pay for itself!
A Checklist for Chamber Members:
Customize your business listing into a full page of information in the online directory at our website, www.zmchamber.com. This web directory gets thousands of hits every year – will they find you when they do a search?
Offer an online Hot Deal via our website to your fellow members to promote a sale, special promotion, or discount.
Check out the Hot Deals offered by others to see where you can save. You can also pass these deals on to your workforce as an employee benefit.
Has your company been recognized for recent successes? Hired someone new? Offering a new product? Let us know and we will publicize it in the chamber’s twice-monthly email newsletter.
Send out a chamber email marketing blast to 850 emails for only $50, or put 1,000 flyers in our monthly mailing for $100.
Download the Chamber member logo from zmchamber.com and display it on your websites, printed materials and other communications.
Review the “business practices” survey results on our website to see how others deal with common challenges, and participate in one of the upcoming surveys.
Enter your business events on our web-based calendar of events.
Update your contact information so that our printed annual Buyer’s Guide has the most current information about your business.
Purchase a new “Marketing Package” and save on ways to promote your business through the Chamber
Look into the group rated workers’ comp plan and the health insurance discount offered to chamber members.
Post an update about your company on the Chamber’s Facebook page.
Attend the next educational seminar or legislative event hosted by the Chamber – and bring a guest – use Chamber functions to offer value to your clients and customers.
Nominate your business for an ACES award, which recognizes economic growth and other business accomplishments.
Become a “fan” of the Chamber’s new Facebook page and get updates on chamber activities, member services and business how-to information
Do business with another Chamber member, just because they ARE a member…and ask them to reciprocate.
Place your business cards and brochures in our lobby racks.
Attend the next member event or art walk to network with other members.
Prominently display your chamber membership certificate and door sticker
(studies show that consumers are more likely to trust and patronize a business that is a chamber member).
As a member, you are entitled to these benefits and services, and you just need to initiate the process to take advantage of each. Contact Jenni Masterson at jmasterson@zmchamber.com or Dana Matz at dmatz@zmchamber.com or 455-8282 today about how to do any of the above.
