State Chamber Executives Offer (.com)
As a valued member of your State Chamber of Commerce Executives, you are eligible for an incredible program at a discounted rate, which will also contribute to funding your State Chamber of Commerce Executives Association. This support enables them to provide additional scholarships and enhance the value offered to all members.
Lead the mission to Bring Local Back and We Do the Work
As we increasingly consume news from a multitude of diverse sources, moving away from traditional TV stations and local radio, it has become nearly impossible for residents to access "Everything" local—until now. With our groundbreaking production model, your investment is surprisingly minimal, making it affordable for Chambers of all sizes to take advantage of this opportunity.
Adding a Membership Services Department for Commerce
We understand that you are occupied with managing your Chamber and may be facing challenges with limited staff and funding. With this in mind, we developed this program to assist you. While you maintain your current member relationship practices for the Chamber, we will take charge of the Commerce side, overseeing new member onboarding, research, documentation, training, and ongoing support for all commerce-related needs.
Keep Your Existing Membership Management System
We significantly enhance your capabilities to engage your members, enabling residents and visitors to connect with your member businesses through the new Community Clicker mobile app. What we create for you and your members will be highly valued.
Our program will profoundly impact your ability to promote both your businesses and your community, without interfering with your Chamber management. Since our team manages the research and onboarding of new members while providing ongoing support, there’s no need for double entry.
It's Truly Amazing When You Have a Team Documenting and Interconnecting All of Your Businesses and Community Together
We all recognize the significance of Chambers of Commerce, yet showcasing their value can sometimes be challenging. Many tend to overlook the Chamber's contributions, but when residents have the opportunity to explore their entire business community in a unified format that simplifies transactions, it’s fantastic. As visitors navigate your business community and encounter QR codes highlighting exciting activities, a greater audience becomes aware of the Chamber of Commerce’s efforts to foster local commerce. Perhaps you utilize the integrated community kiosk network to strategically place your members in key locations, such as city hall or real estate offices, capturing the attention of potential movers. This way, even those at the EDC can see how effectively your community promotes its businesses to CEOs considering relocation, and much more.

Professional Services Catalog
The Community Publishing System defaults to professional services for every new member so Real Estate agents, contractors, insurance agents and others will not see shopping carts or check out icons. They end up with a beautiful catalog to help expand their ability to define and promote all of their services.

This enables you to launch and manage your things-to-do app immediately. You can utilize a 2-3 inch QR code sticker for distribution, allowing it to be placed on business windows. When scanned, it will direct users to your things-to-do app.
Community Kiosks
Your system will feature two types of kiosks: one geared towards tourism, and the other serving as a community kiosk that showcases appealing information about the businesses within your network. Members will have the ability to effortlessly update their kiosk displays. While you are responsible for providing the tablets and stands set up in kiosk mode, you will have all the necessary software and controls prepared for immediate use.
Community Management
You will benefit from a system that we oversee for you, while enjoying comprehensive access to a treasure trove of commercial insights. This includes a powerful sponsor management system with as many as 16 participating sponsors who will receive substantial promotion. By examining the community reports, sponsors can evaluate the return on their sponsorship investment, which supports your mission. Implementing a community publishing system notably elevates your value proposition, truly embodying the essence of "Commerce" associated with your name and encouraging growth.
