It Makes Cents to Do Business with Members

Chamber leadership encouraging member-to-member business This year the Lee’s Summit Chamber leadership has made it a priority to promote doing business with members. New initiatives include: • Member Marketplace emails • Member News & Events emails • Smartphone Deals • Testimonial promotion • ...and more In mid-February the Chamber sent out the first member Marketplace email, and received a great response from businesses wanting to participate in the future. The Marketplace is a monthly email that allows six businesses the opportunity to promote a special deal or discount to members. The cost to participate is $25. Be on the lookout for these emails that will be sent the second Tuesday of every month. Questions about the Marketplace can be directed to Cathy Young at cyoung@lschamber.com.

During the month of February the Chamber also rolled out the Member News & Events email. This monthly email gives members a venue to promote seminars or special events they are planning to our database of over 1400 member representatives. The cost for an ad is $25. Coming this Spring Chamber members will have the opportunity to promote deals for free on the LS Chamber Smartphone app. Look for more information on how to upload your deal later this month. The Chamber is also promoting testimonials of strong connections that our members have made that have generated business. See inside for a great member-to-member testimonial. If you have a story to share, contact Gina Seibel at gseibel@lschamber.com.
