A
Guide to Your Chamber Membership Investment
When you make an investment in equipment or
services for your business, you expect to
receive a substantial return on your
investment. You can expect the same from
your membership investment in the
Rogers-Lowell Area Chamber of Commerce. Your
membership investment can return benefits to
you and your business that will help you
succeed while improving the vitality of the
community.
Some benefits of chamber membership are
immediate and direct, providing
opportunities for your business grow, and
you should take advantage of them. Host a
ribbon cutting ceremony to announce your
membership to the community. Utilize the
membership mailing list to contact members
directly to promote your products and
services. Set up a link on the Chamber’s
website to make your business easier to
find. Check the Chamber newsletters for
up-to-date information on the local business
climate and future Chamber events.
Participate in Chamber networking events to
gather hundreds of new contacts to build
your business. Attend professional
development training programs to gain the
skills and knowledge you need to be a
successful business leader. Target market to
other Chamber members through the variety of
advertising options offered by the Chamber.
Other membership benefits are long-term and
indirect, impacting the entire membership,
our community, the region and the state. The
Rogers-Lowell Area Chamber of Commerce
offers programs such as the Chamber Alliance
Program, an exclusive insurance benefits
package for small businesses who may not
qualify for other insurance programs.
Intense lobbying efforts on the part of the
Chamber have resulted in highway and road
improvements that allowed retail and service
developments at a fast pace.
To maintain a high quality of life in our
community, the Chamber encourages the cities
to plan for the future through the “Vision
2020” process. The forward-thinking
documents have created plans for street and
transportation improvements; parks, a
community center and recreational trail
designs; and solutions to local issues such
as the successful integration of the
thousands of newcomers to northwest Arkansas
in the past decade. The Chamber’s
recruitment of new business and industry to
the community broadens your customer base,
adds to the tax base, and creates a vibrant
economy which maintains our region’s growth.
Just supporting the Chamber with your
membership investment improves the quality
of life and business climate we all enjoy,
but just like any other business tool, the
more you use your Chamber membership, the
greater the benefit you’ll receive from it.
Take advantage of the benefits in which you
invested: we promise the results will be
worth it.
