| Get involved in our New Membership Campaign |
Spring is the season for growth! We, at the WHACC, would like to grow our membership and help you get exposure! We are launching a New Member Campaign during the month of May. As a part of the campaign strategy we would like to include a Welcome Basket of items donated by you, our current WHACC members. The value of the combined Welcome Basket items in and of itself should exceed the investment membership cost for businesses with 1-50 employees greatly encouraging membership application at no financial risk.
You can be a part of this exciting New Member campaign by donating functional materials/items to be placed in the "Welcome Basket" You can donate tangible items to be placed in the basket or coupons for free goods or services encouraging the new member to visit your place of business to collect the gift. Donating to the New Member campaign generates exposure for your business; affording you the opportunity to meet new Chamber business leaders, exchange ideas, or learn of business referrals.
Items you should consider including could be staple services, restaurant cards, food and snacks, bottled water or drinks, office supplies, printing or copying services, office furniture or equipment, employee gift items (no discount-off promotions please).
Sue Kithcart, Membership Committee, will spearhead the coordination and collection of purposeful donated items. Sue will be contacting all of our existing members eliciting donations. If you have items that you would like to donate, you can reach Sue at (330) 777.0081 or, email her at Sue@CornerStoneBenefitServices.com.
