\nBy Jacque McQueen<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nAs an Account Executive for the Chamber, I get to hear
\nfirst-hand from both prospects and new members on why one chooses to join the Rogers-Lowell
\nArea Chamber of Commerce.  The following
\nreasons are often cited and are very good reasons why you should consider
\njoining:
\n
<\/div>\n
\n        1.<\/b>   Awareness<\/b>
\nThe Chamber provides a complimentary ribbon cutting and announcement of your grand
\nopening, new location, new ownership, and anniversary celebration in the local
\nnewspaper,
\nthe Chamber Voice<\/i> newsletter, and in weekly
\neNews blasts to influencers and decision-makers
\nin the community.<\/div>\n
\n2     2.<\/b>  Exposure<\/b>
\nRogersLowell.com enables you to have your business listed in the Chamber\u2019s
\nonline business directory along with a free hyperlink to your business web
\npage. You simply provide a 35 word description with keywords that will help people
\nsearch and find you.  The website
\nutilizes both keyword search and category search for visitors to easily find
\nyour business.  The Chamber website also
\noffers affordable advertising opportunities, and your business news and
\nannouncements are listed for free in the Chamber News section.<\/div>\n
\n3     3. <\/b>RFP (Request for Proposal) Connections<\/b>
\nBusiness Connect<\/i> on RogersLowell.com
\nallows members to submit Request for Proposals (RFPs) to other members. This
\ngives you the opportunity to offer your bid\/quote to members when requested and
\nalso to submit to a bid request from other members. Good examples of members
\nusing this benefit include plumbing quotes, business card quotes, printing
\nquotes, janitorial quotes, etc.  Business Connect<\/i> connects you to new
\nbusiness and to significant savings for
\nyour business.<\/div>\n
\n        4.<\/b>  New Contacts & Learning Opportunities<\/b>
\nMembers love the Chamber\u2019s networking and educational events and opportunities
\nfor committee involvement. Most networking and educational events are free and
\ninclude Business After Hours, Coffee Connection, Community Diversity
\nCelebration, FYI Brown Bag Lunches, Chamber University seminars and numerous
\ncommittees to get involved with extracurricular activities.  In addition, there is a variety of members-only
\nsponsorship packages available for events and meetings to help increase your
\nvisibility and make new contacts.<\/div>\n
\n5     5. <\/b>Promotion<\/b>
\nThe Chamber offers you opportunity to submit eCoupons and discounts to be
\nfeatured on the RogersLowell.com Business Directory\u2019s Coupons and Discounts web
\npage.  These eCoupons
\nhelp promote your business to both members and thousands of monthly website
\nvisitors. 
\nIt\u2019s free and a very popular benefit with our members for promoting trial offers
\nand competitive discount deals.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nThese are my top five reasons for new members joining the
\nChamber but there are many more reasons to join and benefits of
\nmembership.  The bottom line is that
\nChamber membership is an effective business strategy.  Contact me and let\u2019s explore together how
\nChamber membership benefits you and let\u2019s make it a part of your strategy.  <\/p>\n
