Spaghetti Dinner

Distribute Marketing Materials
All members may display company literature, promotions, and/or business cards at the Chamber office. The Chamber has information about tourism, clubs, organizations, business, industry, relocation & general information. Visitors and locals alike commonly ask us about local businesses, and we would love to refer them to you. As the chamber has hundreds of members, we encourage you to take the initiative to check if we have your updated marketing materials in stock and on display. You are also welcome to drop off limited fliers or similar publications about upcoming events.

eBlast - email solicitation - New!
Chamber members are now able to send one solicitation eblast via the chamber. Limit 1 per member per calendar year. We will send out no more than one solicitation eBlast per week (only 52 slots a year) - so schedule yours early! Email izzy@littleriverchamber.org to schedule yours now. No additional eblasts available. 

Why are we doing this? Many people want to be able to access our directory. While members may still request printed mailing labels (and anyone can manually retrieve information via our website) we do not wish to release member emails for security reasons. As a compromise, we have introduced the limited availability of solicitation eblasts. We believe this will cut down on inbox spam (as opposed to releasing emails), but also gives our members another medium in which to market.

Social Media - solicitation - New!
All members are welcome to one "solicitation" social media post for Facebook and Twitter per calendar year. Email izzy@littleriverchamber.org at least one week in advance with the content you want posted as well as the date and time to be sent out. No more than one solicitation post per week will be utilized; which means there are only 52 slots a year - so contact me now! First come first served. No additional posts available. Facebook also offers an affordable name-your-price advertising by boosting your post - if this paid opportunity interests you, please include it in your email.


Social Media - #WhereIsItWednesday - New!
The chamber has been furthering its engagement with the community, and we'd like you to be involved!

Possible prize ideas include: coupons, goodie bags, gift baskets, etc.

Priority will go to those that have not recently participated. Facebook also offers an affordable name-your-price advertising by boosting your post - if this paid opportunity interests you, please include it in your email.
