The Value of Membership

For centuries the local chamber of commerce was the only place to connect with elected officials, obtain a business license and develop relationships for your company. While some of these services are available at the local chamber, we have seen most town governments assume the responsibility for business licenses and various other services that were once delivered by the chamber.

The good news is that we are HIGHLY relevant and have significant value! We must clearly articulate our services and set member expectations correctly to understand the benefits of joining the Fountain Hills Chamber and how to maximize our offerings. This is no different than any other services company except we care more about the local business community and less about earning a profit.

Below is a current list of services:

• Membership Directory listing*
• Recognition at FH Connect breakfast networking
• Announcement in Weekly Newsletter to 1000 people*
• Photo in FH Times (complimentary)
• Ribbon Cutting
• Opportunity to attend Chamber events
• Listing in annual community guide
• Eblasts: Chamber Dealz emails (Tuesdays) & Events emails (Thursdays)*
• Text marketing (Fridays)*
• Public Policy updates*
• FH Chamber Elite Leads Group*

Many of these member benefits would cost hundreds of dollars if you were to purchase à la carte from a for-profit company. For example, the Membership Directory listing is worth between $25 and $50 per month for a similar service ($300 – $600 per year). Those items noted with an asterisk (*) are either new or recently improved. 

As you can see, there is a tremendous amount of value in your Fountain Hills Chamber membership. Some is on autopilot and others require your active participation. The choice is yours, but we are ready to deliver each and every day!
