STEP ONE
REVIEW ALL THE INFORMATION IN YOUR NEW MEMBER KIT
Yes, there’s some reading involved, but trust us, there’s plenty of great stuff in your kit. Knowledge is the best way to make the most of your Chamber membership. In addition, stay in contact with your Membership Director, any staff member and/or any of the ambassadors.
STEP TWO
MAKE SURE YOU AND OTHERS IN YOUR COMPANY ARE GETTING ALL YOUR CHAMBER E-MAILS
We know you get a lot of e-mail and it’s sometimes overwhelming. So we try to only send you out pertinent emails. At the minimum, you should receive an e-blast of news events every Monday. If you are not receiving the e-blast on Mondays contact our front desk receptionist.
STEP THREE
VERIFY & EXPAND YOUR CHAMBER DIRECTORY ON-LINE LISTING
Our on-line membership directory is your lifeline to connecting with others. Make certain that you have verified login information. You can add keywords and a description to increase visibility.
STEP FOUR
POST YOUR EVENTS ON OUR COMMUNITY CALENDAR
You can post your special events on our calendar for FREE. Just click on the link from your member profile page when you log in. We will approve acceptable events and everyone can see them! Contact us at 910-483-8133.
STEP FIVE
OFFER A MEMBER-TO-MEMBER DISCOUNT
Networking is a valuable asset of the membership. One way to network is to offer fellow chamber members a discount for your product and/or service. Just click on the “Hot Deals” link in your member profile page and submit your discount. If you have questions contact us at 910-483-8133.
STEP SIX
ATTEND OR SPONSOR CHAMBER PROGRAMS AND EVENTS
Every month we have a host of Chamber programs and events scheduled. For example, Business After Hours, Chairman’s Coffee Club, Small Business Networking Breakfast and other special events throughout the year. You will receive prior notification of these events with the opportunity to sponsor and/or sign up to attend.
STEP SEVEN
CONNECT, NETWORK AND GET PLUGGED IN!!
While you can get a lot of benefits from your membership without ever lifting a finger you will get a whole lot more out of it if you get plugged in. Use other chamber members for your business, attend events, meet people, ask questions, volunteer for a committee, do whatever you can to get plugged in. And do not forget, EVERYONE IN YOUR COMPANY is now a CHAMBER MEMBER! All employees of your company can join in on the exciting new opportunities at the Chamber.
