The board of directors of the Greater Springfield Chamber of Commerce has announced the introduction of a new level of participation for small businesses or organizations with less than 100 employees.

Beginning August 1, 2012, businesses not already involved in the Chamber’s annual sponsorship program may opt-in to this new Chamber Partner program.

For an annual investment of only $1,000, small businesses and organizations with less than 100 employees may become a Chamber Partner. The program may be started on the first of any month, and it continues for 12 consecutive months.

As a Chamber Partner your business receives:

• Annual membership (for small businesses or organizations with less than 100 employers)
• Enhanced Listing in the Chamber’s online member directory (member to populate) 
• Listing on Chamber Partner webpage on the Chamber’s website, with link to member’s website
• And any combination of two of the following marketing opportunities:
  • Tile ad to run for one month in a section of member’s choice on the Chamber website (member to provide ad)
  • Business card ad in one issue of Image (member to provide ad)
  • One insert in Image, the chamber's newsletter (member to supply 275 copies of 8 1/2" x 11" or smaller flyer)
  • One set of Chamber member mailing labels

All benefits are inlcuded during the 12-months of participation as a Chamber Partner, and expire at the conclusion of the participation year.
