In this, the 15 edition of the Chamber Focus Show, we discuss ongoing chamber relevancy and delivering the value your members demand for their investment.
Hear about Joe’s Pizza on Main Street and what this fictitious member really values and needs from the chamber, back to basics marketing (not social media?), connecting people in the community with your members, the role of advocacy, and marketing your chamber’s members.
Participants shared what they are doing at their chambers to provide value that “Makes the cash register ring” for their members.
We discussed how today’s members are asking, “What do you give us?” for our investment.
We even discussed a new phrase, “The momentum of relevancy“, shared by Greg Durocher of the Cambridge, Ontario Chamber.
Our special guest was Donn Ingemie, President/CEO of Chamber Member Services.
