cash positive with sponsorship revenue! What more can I expect."

informative in helping them manage their businesses. I believe this
report by itself is worth the price of our lowest annual dues. Many of
our members agree that they get from 1 to 3 useful ideas from every
issue read."

Intelligence Report has been one of the best benefits we have
offered our members. In addition to being an asset to our members, it
has become a great source of non-dues revenue for us.
The members love it, the sponsor is pleased with the exposure, and we
get non-dues income. What a great opportunity for everyone involved."
Teresa Pearson, Membership Manager

"I did want to share
with you an experience with one member just this week. I took my car in
to a member business for a minor repair. The owner has been a member
for three or more years and never comes to chamber events, so the only
time I see him is when my car needs repair. He stopped me as I was
picking up my car to tell me that he really liked the Business
Intelligence Report and specifically mentioned that he felt
it added value to the membership."
Don Sprigings,
Executive Director
North Phoenix Chamber of Commerce

"My members simply
LOVE our monthly newsletter--we get unsolicited compliments all the
time. A major reason is the inclusion of the
Business Intelligence Report. Chambers have to help their
members with a great deal more than increasing revenue. That means we
must provide more than just networking events and lunches. We have to
give them information they to manage their entire income statement. The
BIR is a big step in that direction."
Roger E. Breisch,
Executive Director
Batavia Chamber of Commerce

"Our members LOVE the
information!"
Laurie Rice, Executive Assistant
Perrysburg Area Chamber of Commerce

"I wanted to let you
know that the BIR is one of the most read pieces of our monthly Network

don't always have time in our busy lives to read those great business
tid-bits. I really liked your 'Cliff Notes' version!"
