3/50 Supports Local Businesses
The West Central Chamber encourages all community members to support local businesses by applying the 3/50 principal. The 3/50 project asks consumers to spend a total of $50 a month at three locally owned businesses. It's not hard to do; think of where you spend your money for goods and services. Do you visit the feed store, get your hair done, have breakfast at the local diner? You do? Fantastic! Keep it up! and visit www.the350project.net and sign up as a supporter. If you are a local business that has a bricks-and-mortar location, you can download free materials to promote the drive to support YOUR business as well as your neighbor's!
WC Chamber e-newsletter
The Chamber’s new e-mail newsletter features Chamber business members’ activities
and news. Meetings, events and workshops sponsored by the Chamber
will be included too. The e-newsletter will be delivered to
all Chamber members who have provided an email address to us.
And, according to the federal CAN-SPAM law, delivery will be
permission-based. What that means is the Chamber must provide
an easy-to-use unsubscribe method, and remove addresses of
those who do not wish to receive the newsletter.
So, how does this benefit Chamber members? Not only will this give
members another way to communicate with each other, but it also
presents a great marketing opportunity.
• Promote your business to
owners, managers and decision-makers
• Announce product specials, recognize employees,
and educate customers
• Reach an
important demographic, like-minded people who are interested
in your business
We will also be delivering the e-newsletter to other interested
prospects who may want to join the Chamber, or who are interested
in learning about the successful business people who are members
of the organization. We added a "subscribe" link
on the home page to make it easy for visitors to sign up and receive
the publication regularly.
There will be no additional cost to receiving the newsletter. Space will be made available to paying advertisers at very reasonable rates. Members will have first choice on advertising space, non-members are welcome to advertise as well as space allows.
