Ribbon Cutting and Mixer - Celebrate your new business with a Ribbon Cutting and Mixer! Highlight your special opening day with a free mixer following your ribbon cutting. This is a great way to show off your new business, network with your Chamber friends, and get new prospects through your door for the first time.
Business After Hours - Another great way to bring people in your door is a Business After Hours Event. As a member, you can host a "Business After Hours" reception at your place of business. This is a great opportunity to showcase your business, and it provides an excellent networking opportunity. Your invitation will be featured on three e-blasts to the entire mailing list. Cost is $250
We Refer Our Members! - The Cool Springs Chamber of Commerce is a great avenue for referrals, whether on line, by phone or in person. We see and speak with people everyday who need goods and services you provide. It is our pleasure to suggest they give YOU a call.
Certificates of Origin - If your company or organization exports products, the customs authority of the destination country may require a Certificate of Origin from an "appropriate authority for the levying of appropriate tariffs". The Cool Springs Chamber of Commerce will seal Certificates of Origin for products exported from the United States, free of charge as a service to its members. The Certificate of Origin must clearly specify the country of origin of the products concerned. This country
need not necessarily be the United States. A false declaration on a certificate of origin can result in penalties, sometimes severe, levied by the authorities in the country of destination.
Tax deductible - Your membership investment into the Chamber of Commerce is recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as a "necessary business expense" and is totally deductible.
Website Links - The Chamber's Membership Directory is published on our website. If you have a website for your business, we offer a free link to your site. Enhance your directory listing with photos, video and a description for $300/year. A mini-homepage on the Chamber Website makes your business stand out!
Sponsorship Opportunities - The Cool Springs Chamber operates solely from revenues generated by membership dues, fundraising events and Sponsorships. The beauty of this is in the mutual benefits received by the sponsoring member and the Chamber. With your Sponsorship of Chamber programs and events with the Cool Springs Chamber, you gain exposure and credibility as a supporter of the economic development of your community. And we get to keep the lights on!
Chamber Exposure Builds Credibility - Stand out from the crowd: educate your audience on why your product or service is different, better or more desirable.
Maximize Your Marketing Investment - Complement your existing outreach activities with a Chamber highlight. We can create a custom package of sponsorship, membership and exposure for you that meets the needs of your individual organization. Opportunities exist with our new website advertising, with our programming (Monthly Breakfasts, WLN, Professional Development, Young Professionals) and with our Events (Sponsor the Mayoral Summit, the Awards Banquet or the Golf Tournament).
Call the office at 615-771-1071 and we will build you a membership strategy that includes a Sponsorship of an event that works well for you.
