Marketing Opportunities

Opportunities to market your company are vast and varied with your Ionia Chamber Membership:

Maximize your business presence on this website

  • Register for member access that adds up to free & easy marketing: You can update your description. Consider offering a member to member discount which you can change as often as you like. Post your events on our community calendar.
  • For only $25 annually you can add your logo or a photo to your description – add both for $35
  • Contact us for inexpensive banner ad rates – they rotate with every page change, and can be tracked to the number of times you are viewed as well as how often your banner is selected for a link to your website.

eMember to Member

  • Every 2 weeks or so we combine the messages and events members provide to us via email and share them with our 700+ email contact list. Often the message is passed along again by recipients. To ensure inclusion, please send us your information in an electronic format three weeks in advance. As long as we have at least 4 other members to work into the message, we'll post it out. Due to popularity, we need to limit the number of times we will share messages from a business to five times a year.

Board of Directors or Ambassador Meetings

  • You won't find another group more committed to your business success than our Board or our Ambassadors. Each group invites members to schedule with the Chamber to attend a monthly meeting in order to share your business message. They are then more than happy to extend that message through their networks. Contact us for details and open dates.

Small Business Association of MI - Sales & Marketing Resources

  • Most of our memberships include membership with SBAM. Visit their site, and select the FAQ menu for great answers and solutions to marketing. Also, IACC-SBAM members can subscribe to Advertising180.net for access to short, hands-on video lessons on a variety of advertising and marketing topics designed to solve the problems small businesses generally face in their day-to-day operation. The basics of subjects like Website Purpose, Media Planning, Ad Copywriting, Social Media Use, Writing Effective Headlines and E-Mail Marketing and many more are covered in 4-minute videos along with printable lesson notes, discussion forums, and related business blogs on the Advertising 180.net site.
