Chamber launches new program for members

Here at the chamber, we are always racking our brains for new and exciting things we can offer our members. While some ideas don’t pan out, others hit the mark. We think this new program falls in the latter category.

The chamber is pleased to introduce its new “Sign and Dine” program. This program provides members with the opportunity to receive a generous gift card for simply making a membership referral. If a member’s warm lead becomes a new member of the chamber, we will reward you with a gift card to a chamber member restaurant of your choice.

It’s that easy!

Not only will you receive a $50 gift card to your favourite member restaurant, but you can feel proud that you will have impacted the growth of the chamber’s membership that, in turn, benefits all of us. A strong chamber contributes to a vital and progressive business community. An increased membership base strengthens the chamber’s voice when advocating issues of importance, provides valuable business connections for enterprise, and enhances the services and benefits we provide to our members.

How the program works:

1. Connect with the business, discuss the benefits of chamber membership and reasons why they should join. Obtain the decision-maker’s agreement to a meeting with the chamber’s Membership Account Manager.
2. Complete and submit our brief referral form. Be sure to let the business know you are referring them as a potential new member and that the chamber will be in touch with them.
3. Our Membership Account Manager will contact the referred business to arrange a meeting.
4. If your referral joins the chamber within 3 months of our first appointment with them, and pays their full year’s membership dues, you will receive a $50 gift card to a member restaurant of your choice (we will provide you with a full list of restaurants to choose from).

We developed this program as a way of saying thank you to those members who take the extra step in helping to grow the chamber’s membership base.
