Visibility for your business

Can your business benefit from more visibility? We can help! In this issue, you will see many ways we support members by increasing their visibility.

When you are a guest on Your Chamber Connection radio show, BiCoastal Media runs promos announcing your name and business name, encouraging listeners to tune in to KEDO 1270 AM or 99.9 FM. The show is broadcast every Wednesday at 6 p.m. We also take photos, as you will see in this newsletter. Photos of our guests are shared in social media and print ads in The Daily News and Columbia River Reader. We appreciate our media partners and there is no cost to Chamber members.

Ribbon cuttings keep our Chamber Ambassadors busy. We have celebratory ribbon cuttings to welcome new members and congratulate Chamber members on milestone anniversaries and new locations. Ribbon cuttings are announced in the Chamber Happenings eblast, you will find them on our calendar, photos are posted on social media, and we run photos in The Daily News. It’s our pleasure to celebrate with our members, and there is no charge to you. An Ambassador will even deliver your framed photo with a souvenir piece of ribbon!

Have you checked the calendar on our website lately? This is a popular way for Chamber members to look into what’s happening, check the details and register. Anyone, including nonmembers, may access our calendar, see what is happening with Chamber members and register for events. An immediate e-receipt follows registration. Members are finding this to be a great improvement from our previous website. Did you know you may add your events to our calendar? Be sure to check out our website and share your feedback with us.

There is a lot going on around the Chamber among our members, too. If you would like your announcement or event to be included in our Around the Chamber eblast, please let us know. We’ll use your flyer, or we can help design a flyer with graphics and your important

How would you like your business to become more visible? Would you like to recognize your employees for their volunteerism? Have you reached a milestone? Are you offering a new product or service? Maybe you’re interested in giving a member-to-member offer. Has an employee reached a milestone work anniversary, educational achievement or won an award? Is your nonprofit planning an event? Do you need volunteers? This is all great news to share on our Facebook page.
