Financial Investment Provides Continuing Value

Chamber investment is a marketing expense, comparable to an ad buy. But, instead of a one-time impression, it's all day, every day, for a full year. By simply investing, members automatically receive the following, whether they get involved or not:

• Exclusive Member Referrals
  Members receive monthly, quarterly and annual reports of all Online Member Referrals. Last year, Chamber members received 81,675 online referrals – and that doesn’t even count each time member information was viewed in our directory. Thousands more were referred by our front desks. Online, on the phone, through the mail, in our publications and in person, ONLY Chamber Members are referred and recommended.
• Direct Links from Our Website to Yours
  Every time a member’s business/organization is included in the Business E-Newsletter and on the Chamber website (directory, volunteer, news, etc.), the business/organization’s website is directly linked.
• M2M (Member-to-Member) Benefits
  Providing a better price/value for goods and services than member representatives could receive from any other source, M2M benefits are available only to active members of the Little Rock Regional Chamber of Commerce. Unlike other affinity programs promoted by Chambers throughout the country, the Little Rock Regional Chamber chooses not to profit from M2M offerings, but rather, passes all savings directly to the members as an added benefit of membership. All Chamber Member businesses/organizations are eligible and encouraged to provide M2M (Member-to-Member) benefits to fellow members, which helps market Member goods and services to over 1,700 members employing over 150,000 potential customers and clients.
