2000’s - Chambers of Commerce is now a primary caretaker of local search services and provides most of the local information through the Internet and via search engines. Since Chambers of Commerce are also the MOST TRUSTED source for local and regional information, they have become one of the most valuable local advertising venues.

Chambers are Communities
Chambers of Commerce is EXISTING COMMUNITIES of people, knowledge and businesses that offer an exceptional array of information for their local area. While many “dot com” companies are building communities of people that they "hope" are successful to sell advertising, a Chamber community is ALREADY SUCCESSFUL and can offer an exceptional advertising opportunity. A perfect situation for the advertiser that wants to promote within the local market.
Why the Advertiser Wins:
By sponsoring a Chamber of Commerce you're taking the ALREADY SUCCESSFUL online community and then converting the established traffic and high search engine ranking into a powerful media for your business and the rest of the community. If you choose not to sponsor the entire program, you can still advertise through existing Chamber communities for the results you might be looking for in the local marketplace.
Why the Chamber Wins:
The Chamber of Commerce is the most trusted source for local information. With your help they are provided with the tools needed to prosper in this tough economic climate by offering an array of advertising services to their current membership, provide a fully automated "Shop Local Program" and be able to power a fantastic Area Search Engine that's specifically designed to serve the businesses and community (your ads are here too). Since each member receives monthly reports showing how this has directly impacted their business, renewal rates are likely to go up at the Chamber as well thanks to your sponsorship.
Chamber staff are thrilled as the receive a brand new state-of-the-art website, content management system that can include your marketing image, all the latest technology for automating their membership management programs, billing, event automation and registration, broadcast messaging, member forums, inter-connections with social networking tools, community live update services, video creation / distribution and so much more.

Three Founding Sponsors
Communities all over the country need the latest technology to compete successfully online.Chambers of Commerce are leading this charge, but with limited budgets its important that they trade their prime online positioning for a few select founding sponsors.There are several reasons why a founding sponsor will see a significant return:
- Once the sponsor is secured work will begin on a new Chamber of Commerce portal for the community.The sponsor will be integrated into the new website in PRIME high visibility positioning on the home page with links to the URL of your choice.
- Your customized advertising banners with optional animation will be connected to show when specific categories are requested through the ever popular and highly utilized business directory.
- You will have opportunity work with both the Chamber of Commerce and the technology team to be sure you are 100% satisfied with your positioning within the system and how your professional animated advertisements look in the new system and portal.
- Members of the Chamber of Commerce will be told about your generous funding of this program and will be showcased within each members advertising system and control dashboard.
Two Excellent Opportunities
Realestate companies or agents will find the opportunity especially valuable as their advertising will be showcased on the home page of the Chamber's portal, within the members area where business owners go to manage their community advertising system and advertising is displayed through the member / business directory where the category realestate is selected.Banks will find the the opportunity valuable as they will be showcased on the home page of the new portal, within the members area, on the re-location guide and even within the business directory when someone is viewing banking or financial services members.
For others, there are similar opportunities and may be customized to meet you marketing and advertising needs.
Pricing for a sponsor typically runs about $500 one-time setup and then only $.25 per active member per month. So for a Chamber with 300 members the sponsor would typically pay about $75 per month.
