3 What type of advertising can I do with the Marketing Package? Advertisements on your website Banner ads may be placed immediately, without any additional website code, on any ChamberMaster integrated module pages like the Member Business Directory, the Events calendar, Hot Deals, Member to Member Deals etc. Ads may also be placed on other non-chambermaster pages if the appropriate code is added by a web master. Member listing enhancements the member s listing in your Business Directory may be enhanced to catch the eye of visitors in the search results and also if the visitor clicks through to the member s information page. Priority placement in the Business Directory is also included with these enhancements.

4 How can I use the Marketing Package for revenue generation or adding value? Your Marketing Package may be used with a goal to generate revenue, add value, or for other reasons not even identified here. Here are some ideas on how to implement these two targeted goals. Revenue generation - - Sell enhancements and/or banner ads 1. Sell year round A dedicated staff member or volunteer should learn the software features (see Where can I get help with the Marketing Package ), promote sales, and manage upgrades. 2. Sell during a specific time frame with a focused sales effort a. A dedicated staff member or volunteer should learn the software features and manage upgrades (see Where can I get help with the Marketing Package ) b. A dedicated staff member or group of volunteers (i.e. Ambassadors) could be used to promote the campaign and generate sales 3. Combine year-round selling with a focused set of campaign weeks Adding value - - bundling ads/enhancements to provide extra value (which could justify a fee increase, but does not necessarily support independent cash flow) 1. Bundle with tiered memberships see Tiered Membership Bundling example 2. Bundle with other sponsorships 3. Use in member retention efforts 4. Use enhancements/banners as promotional tools for events sponsors, in-service trades, etc. 5. Use on special occasions or for special reasons
