Chamber offering great incentives to join
The
Bonners Ferry Chamber of Commerce is offering
area businesses mid-year specials to new members
interested in investing in the benefits of
membership, offering half-off discounts to
become members for the rest of the year.That's only $67.50 for real estate, grocery store, financial institutions, hotel/restaurant combos and campgrounds and RV parks, $30 for all other local and home-based businesses, $35 for out-of-town businesses and $25 for non-profits and individuals.
Like never before, membership in the Chamber is a benefit not only to the entire Boundary County business community, but an investment in your business. It gives you access to the Internet through the Chamber website, www.bonnersferrychamber.com, which is among the leading search results that comes up on any web search for things Bonners Ferry or Boundary Coungty, and which averages more than 100 hits an hour. With membership, your business is entitled to a page you can use to direct traffic to your existing website or to create your own web presence, bringing your information to potential customers world-wide who might be visiting Boundary County and be looking for just what you have to offer. You can manage that page yourself, or you can have the staff at the Visitor's Center do it for you.
The Chamber also runs a weekly ad in the Bonners Ferry Herald, bringing more local attention to the Chamber and its members, holds monthly meetings to let business owners and leaders meet, greet and build the kind of synergy that benefits everyone in the business community, as well as hear from great guest speakers who talk on a variety of business-related topics.
The Chamber Visitor's Center meets and greets thousands of people each year, and those people often come in looking for the goods and services our local business community provides, and with membership, those who volunteer at the Center have the information at hand that they need to direct that person to the best place to go to get what they need, saving them hassle and run-around. In the event of such misfortune as a blown transmission or engine, that person might not be happy to have to stop here, but when the community, through the Chamber, works together to provide the friendly service and neighborliness Boundary County is famous for, even such a negative can be turned into a positive, and that person or family will go away with fond memories of a great town.
The Chamber is typically the first place those looking to visit here or relocate here turn for information on our community, and the information the Chamber provides includes information on the businesses of members with whom those people are likely to be doing business with.
The benefits are many, and while half off for a half year's membership isn't hurting the Chamber, it's your chance to dip your toe to test the water for six months, just to see how you like the feel.
