2018 As you plan for the upcoming year, consider the opportunities the Lee’s Summit Chamber provides in marketing and promoting your business. Members receive the exclusive opportunity to be a part of the partnership program, in addition to your membership investment.

Chamber partnerships are a unique marketing tool reaching both Chamber member businesses, as well as the local community.

Your business automatically gains the publicity and brand recognition you need, in a positive and receptive environment.

Business and community leaders recognize and appreciate companies that provide knowledge and contacts.

The Chamber offers a limited number of partnerships, allowing you to combine all or some of our events into one package.

We have created a menu from which you can customize your partnership. If you are already planning to participate in some of our events, a partnership package can save you money – and gives you great exposure in our weekly e-blasts, Chamber Link newsletter, website, signage and more.

Keep an eye on your mailbox and e-mail for expanded information regarding our three packages for your consideration.

The deadline to sign up for a 2018 Partnership Package is Friday, December 8, 2017. You’re welcome to pay in 2017, or may request to be invoiced after the first of the year, depending on your preference. If you have any questions, please call or email me at your convenience at 816.524.2424 or tarbeiter@lschamber.com.

If you would prefer to sponsor individual events or have a presence in one of our Chamber publications, we will be providing a list of those options in the near future so that you can budget accordingly. These options range from small to large event sponsorships, and annual to quarterly publications. If you would like to reserve those now, please let us know. Event sponsorships are sold on a first-come, first-served basis so if you are interested, we would encourage you to act quickly! Call the Chamber office to reserve your spot.

Yours Truly,

Tim Arbeiter, CEcD | President Lee’s Summit Chamber of Commerce
