How can I become more active in the Chamber this year?

The Chamber is off to a booming start with lots of ways to help our Members become more active in the Chamber for 2007! Attached you will find Committees-At-A-Glance. There are 8 fun, energetic committees to choose from this year, that range in time commitment of very little time to as much time as you feel you can put in! I highly encourage you to check this information out and decide which Committee will work best for you and your time!

What are some effective ways I can market my business through the Savage Chamber?

Attached you will find, a Market Your Business Flyer, that will give you many different ideas for getting your company name/logo out there for all the community to see!

Whether it’s through Sponsoring a Monthly Member Meeting, hosting a Wake Up! Savage or Business After Hours, or being a Major Sponsor for one of our 4 annual events, there are many ways to get your name out there – just let us know which marketing opportunity will work best for you!

The Savage Chamber Membership Directory – when does it come out? And how do I advertise in it?

The time is NOW…for the Savage Chamber Membership Directory to get updated again! Attached you will find the Membership Ad Directory Form, please fill out the form and fax or mail it back to the Chamber Office. The Ad Space for the Directory goes fast, so be sure to get yours filled out and back ASAP. The new directories go to print in February to be disbursed in March.

Monthly Newsletters --- Paper Copy or via E-mail?

Every month we mail out nearly 475 copies of our monthly Newsletter. As you are aware, this is a huge expense for the Chamber. We are asking each of our Members and prospective Members who receive our Newsletter by mail, to let us know if you would prefer to receive the newsletter via e-mail, in place of a mailed paper copy. FYI – the monthly Newsletter is also available on the Savage Chamber Web Site at www.savagechamber.com. Again, please let us know if e-mailing a monthly Newsletter to you or your business vs sending a paper copy in the mail is a viable option.

What is the cost to get information in the Monday Morning E-mail under Member-To-Member? How often can I put this information in?

Free!!! Any specials or deals that you would like to advertise to other Chamber Members for that week is FREE! If it is an on going special, we can get it listed on our website under Member-To-Member for $50 for the entire year – just let us know! We ask that you keep your “specials” to a once-a-quarter time, so other Members have an opportunity to take advantage of this service! All specials, or information that you would like to share with other Members needs to be e-mailed to me, exactly the way you want it to read, by Thursday morning, prior to the Monday it goes out!

How can I get an Insert in the Monthly Newsletter?

As of right now, we would need approximately 470 copies of your insert delivered to the Chamber Office by the 20th of the month, prior to the month it goes out. The amount of copies will change if we end up e-mailing the newsletter to some Members, but we will attach your insert to the e-mailed newsletter, if applicable. The cost for Newsletter Inserts is $100.

What is an Express Pass?

An Express Pass helps save you time and money on the Monthly Member Meeting! It is a prepaid pass that the Chamber Office keeps track of …no muss – no fuss! The Express Pass costs $110 for all 11 Member Meetings – this is a $55 savings! Please see the attached form to get signed up!

Do I have to RSVP for the Monthly Member Meetings? Even if I have an Express Pass?

YES & YES! We do need everyone that is planning to attend the monthly meetings to let us know that they are coming. We have to give a food count on the Friday prior to the Tuesday meeting, we would hate for someone to not be able to enjoy a wonderful lunch, along with a wonderful meeting!! FYI – If you RSVP that you are planning to attend, and then are not able to make it, you will still be billed for the lunch and/or Express Pass will get punched.
