During the last few months, our company has actively promoted a set of customizable, pre-designed marketing tools designed to assist with membership recruitment, retention and encouragement of greater member-to-member networking and interaction. The program, called MarketWise, has been a huge hit with hundreds of chamber of commerce leaders in organizations with as few as 53 members and as many as 6,400.

But some folks are still confused. They want to know, “What’s the catch?”

So I am writing today to clear up the mystery as to why we’re doing all of this for free. It’s actually very simple, and I’m sure you’ll recognize the logic in it when you read it.

We are tied to your industry. We want it to succeed. Our organizations – yours and mine — have a common interest in convincing business people to join the chamber, to maintain their membership, and to get involved in the important work local chambers do. And we know that during the rough economic patch, business people are occasionally making the choice to save the money they would spend on membership and go it alone. We don’t think that’s a good idea. It’s not good for them, it’s not good for you, it’s not good for their community, and it’s not good for us.

Whether we ever do business with your chamber or not, we want you to win the battle for the hearts, minds, and monetary consideration of the business people in your community, because what you do is valuable. But we also want you to think of us first when it comes to generating non-dues revenue; forging your marketing message through online, print and other media; or when you’re looking for Member Management tools.

So – pull back the curtain – our ulterior motive in giving away a costly and valuable product, is to place our company right where we want it; on the top of your mind!

With that, I invite you to explore MarketWise, with no obligation, commitment, guilt or expectation of an invoice. Just reap the benefits and keep us in mind: CommunityLink.
