Ways The Chamber Can Impact Your Bottom Line
- Your business receives a direct advertising benefit by being listed
on the Chamber's website. The website receives about 1075 page views
per day. Your business also could be referred to any of the 1500 daily
callers. Your company will be listed in the annual Membership Directory,
which is distributed to members of both the Greater Columbus Georgia
Chamber of Commerce and the Phenix City-Russell County Chamber of
Commerce enabling members to shop with members. Another benefit you
receive is being recognized as a member of the most powerful business
organization in the area by displaying your membership decal on your
window.
-
A bottom-line enhancing benefit is the free consulting that you
can receive from the Chamber's Professional Consultants Program. This
program has saved businesses thousands by helping them make better decisions.
There are more than 40 professional consultants that cover a broad
range of expertise from attorneys to marketing consultants and just
about anything in between.
- Learn a simple, but effective, way to expand your business by developing
an “Audio Logo.” An “Audio Logo” is a 30-second verbal commercial
(about 50 words in length). A clear, concise statement of what you
do, where you do it and for whom it is intended, is all you need.
This is a useful way for members to introduce their businesses at
each of the Small Business Development Committees or at networking
events such as Eye Opener Breakfasts, Chamber Power Lunches and Business
After Hours.
- The Greater Columbus Georgia Chamber of Commerce is the voice for
business in the local, state and federal governments. The Chamber
saves you money by working on your behalf on business-related issues.
One example is how the Chamber lobbied on behalf of local businesses
to keep the 706 area code. It saved businesses a great deal of money
for document, catalog, brochure and business card revisions that listed
phone numbers.
