A chamber membership is an investment in your business. As an investment, you undoubtedly expect a return. While it’s easy to look at what you paid for membership and how many new customers were sent you way through the chamber and calculate your return that way, there’s more to it than just that. For instance, did you know that your customers receive multiple benefits from you being a chamber member and those benefits can increase their loyalty? Here are 5 examples of how they win with your chamber membership:
 

Looking for a way to expose, connect, and expand your business?   

The Indianola Chamber has contracted with LAMAR to lease a billboard located in Indianola north on Highway 65/69 at the Hillcrest Avenue intersection.  This billboard is ranked number one for the number of impressions averaging 52,000 per week.  This is an excellent addition to the Think Indianola First campaign strategy to expose and connect residents and guests to Indianola businesses, while telling the story of Indianola.

Details of the billboard advertising opportunity follow:

• The cost if only one business is on the billboard is $1,300 for one month.
• The cost if two businesses share the billboard is $650.00 per business for one month.
• Participants must agree to work with the Chamber to ensure their marketing messages align with the Indianola story.
• LAMAR designs the billboard advertising each month, in cooperation with each business and the Chamber.

The following opportunities are available: Oct. 19 -  Nov. 15       
Dec. 12 - Jan. 10, 2018            
Feb. 8 -  Mar. 7, 2018                    
Mar. 8 - Apr. 4, 2018
