MEMBERSHIPupdate

By: Evelina Davidson

Greetings To All Of Our Amazing Members!

Well, here we are…in the 3rd month of 2023 already! Time sure does fly by fast. We have talked a lot about capitalizing on membership recently and as we wrap up the first quarter, let’s take a moment to recap on a few membership highlights from the year so far.

Online Member Profile & Access

Membership Directory

Chamber Member Decal

Redmond Chamber of Commerce Member Logo

There are so many more ways that our members can benefit from and take advantage of their memberships and we will discuss more of these highlights each month, but these are probably the fastest and easiest ways to gain some additional exposure and credibility in the Redmond community.

Every membership automatically comes with a Member Profile that is displayed on and is accessible through the Redmond Chamber of Commerce’s website. These profiles are what non-members and other members see on our website when your business is clicked on in the Member Directory. For this reason, I can’t stress enough how important it is to keep existing data not only updated with the most current information for your business, but to add content such as bio’s, logos, taglines, pictures, social networking links, etc. to your profile. Not only does this give our audiences more content when they perform a member search, but it also makes your profile more personable and unique with that customized flair. These profiles tend to stand out more and capture the attention of our users more so than not.

This is also a good time to update your office, building or website with Redmond Chamber of Commerce signage. Do you have a Chamber Member Decal displayed in the window or door of your business? If not, come by and pick one up at the office. Did you also know that you can request our member logo and display this on your website or social media pages? Utilizing Chamber signage adds familiarity and credibility to any business and these are free for our members to use. If anyone would like our member logo, feel free to email me at membership@visitredmondoregon.com and I will be happy to get that sent over.

There you have it, a few very simple ways that your business can gain exposure and credibility with very minimal effort. You don’t have to attend events to benefit from a Chamber Membership and this year, we will be spending more time talking about what membership brings to the table with or without event attendance. Don’t forget that we are here to support your business in any way that we can and would love to hear from you as to how we can do better and on what we have been doing well. As always, it is an absolute pleasure to be working with such an amazing community!
