#LoveMyChamber --- Weekly Reasons Why I Get A Great Return on Investment (ROI) from my Annual Chamber of Commerce Dues - Reason #5 Chamber Member-to-Member Discounts

Chamber Member-to-Member Discounts / Hot Deals

Chamber members can create their own member-to-member discount program either by buying timely products or offering products or services for sale. Why are they offering better prices? Because people like to do business with people they know. Independent studies have shown that the general public are 69% more likely to buy something from someone who is a local chamber of commerce member. Take advantage of premiums and discounts on goods and services ranging from arts and entertainment to restaurants to insurance.

Hot Deals is an online marketplace for promoting your sales, overstocks, and special promotional timely opportunities. Member-To-Member discounts alone could save you more than the cost of your annual membership.

A capital city University offers a 25 percent tuition discount to full-time employees of member businesses of The Chamber of Commerce.  The discount is available to Chamber members and their immediate family (spouse and dependent children only).  The tuition discount applies to most undergraduate and graduate degree programs. Some chambers offer a Free Prescription Drug Savings Card. Chamber member businesses and their employees are eligible to receive a free prescription drug discount card, many times with no forms or waiting periods. 

The Value Proposition - Chamber annual dues: Around $250. Value of benefit #5 with no other participation in the chamber; $500 - Return On Investment Features #1-5 - $2850; Total Return On Investment for Chamber Membership - 1120%.
