COMMUNITY ADVERTISING PROGRAM

Each community is essentially documented for search without relying on the businesses to do the work. We studied thousands of community websites, buy local programs, deal apps, and even membership management systems. We learned that every one of those systems may have had a directory, but nearly nothing beyond that. We inquired with many leaders who are using these technologies, and they nearly all said that their members really never log in and when they do they are lucky to get a paragraph of information. We knew something new had to be invented to change this.

DOCUMENTATION ASSISTANT

Because local business owners and managers are so busy doing their jobs, a documentation assistant will be assigned to each business. They will handle research, documentation, onboarding, and launch. This ensures that each community is properly built out and operates successfully.

WE BUILD IT - Looks Great!

In order to be sure every participating business gets a running start, we do the research and build out their initial displays. After this, the member may request included assistance from the support team or log in and be amazed at their new online advertising network, tools, and results.

• Daily staff direction
• Automated tickler system
• Prospecting reminder system
• Member retention reminders
• Eliminate wasted time by using ChamberLife
• Increase revenues with increased productivity
• Premium access to leadership

We have worked diligently so that our customers can instead use their money for membership services vs. paying a technology company for database and website access. You get a much greater return when you invest in a membership services department vs. a database only.

Pricing is simple and includes far more than you would expect compared to every other technology provider.

Understand that our pricing includes everything we have shown so far and includes a fully staffed membership services department. This department is shared by Chambers throughout the USA, Canada, Europe, and Malta to keep the costs very low. 

Our team works on your behalf to handle new member onboarding, including research, documentation, and hosting. We also provide ongoing support for everything related to "Commerce" for your members. They access this support at www.MemberAdvertising.com. We never sell anything to your members and provide ongoing support at no cost if they remain your member. 

Along with a new website, management system, unique touchpoint system from ChamberLIFE, you will also have a complete marketplace designed explicitly for your professionals and separately for your retailers, so everyone is delighted. 

So that your marketplace is loaded with enough content to impress the visiting public, we suggest starting with having us build out your first 100 members for advanced search. Your members will still be included (up to 2000) in your traditional database and directory. However, those over the initial 100 will not receive our exceptional onboarding services until you decide or they ask to move over to a new membership plan. 

Instead of charging you $2650 for the website and management system setup, we are instead applying that payment to the build-out of your first 100 businesses.

NOTE!!! 

It applies to the first 100 members and then spreads to new members or those who ask to upgrade.

The monthly cost for the entire program, including the hosting for the first one-hundred businesses and up to 2000 members in the traditional management system, is only $348.95. Since the management system alone rated up to 2000 members, in this case, this is a terrific price.

As you grow, our wholesale rate for 75% or more new members going forward (not existing members) will be charged at $25 one-time setup and then only $1 per built-out member per month ($12 per year, but we bill monthly). This is terrific pricing when you see what your members and community receive. 

Nearly all Chambers adjust their "New" member plans to wipe out this cost. Existing members remain on their current plans with no extra charge. 

If you want to wipe out the initial one-time setup cost, we suggest using our www.CommunityAdSponsors.com program. 

The return to those 1-8 sponsors is substantial, and they can track it by accessing the community-wide advertising reports.
