Executive Director at Wicker Park Bucktown Chamber of Commerce - Chicago, IL, United States
Our Chamber's strength lies in the number and diversity of our Membership. We strive to develop innovative ways to increase commerce among our Members. Cooperative marketing, networking, and sponsorship opportunities increase member visibility and encourage profitable relationships within the community.* Networking: Develop your "social capital" at quarterly member networking events - Business after Hours. These informal networking opportunities bring Members together for important business contacts. * Ambassador/Host Program: Host a networking event at your place of business, provide lunch for a seminar, or serve as an Ambassador, welcoming new and prospective Members to the Chamber.* Promotional Opportunities: Throughout the year, the Chamber offers opportunities to advertise in our annual Community Directory, Pathfinder Guide, and neighborhood Banner Program. * Mass Media Program: Subscription e-mail blasts get your news out to our target market, while the Chamber works with the city's most prestigious periodicals and organizations to make upcoming sales and news events available for publication. * Co-operative Advertising Programs: The Chamber is proud to co-sponsor the annual Summer Sidewalk Sales, as well as other shared promotional opportunities for our Members. * Festivals: Chamber programs like the Wicker Park Summer Fest allows member sponsors to reach out to the community.
