The exercises and questions are just food for thought. - CEO

Last week’s questions about website

Last week’s exercise had more comments than I have received in a long time on one subject. Most of the people that wrote said I didn’t go far enough about credit cards and the use of Pay Pal.

The jest of the comments was Chamber’s have to have credit cards through Pay Pal on every project, especially sponsorships, not just paying your dues online.

There was more than one comment on:

·        Golf Tournaments: Pay with credit cards through Pay Pal  for golf tournaments, not only increases the players but also no big rush at the end.

·        Business after Hours: A rise in attendance because they could pay online ahead of time. They showed up to protect their $5.

·        General Membership lunches: The same is true. It increases attendance. Once people have paid online, they are more likely to show up.

Increased Financial Commitment

One Chamber told me that response of sponsorships for projects was good, but after establishing online payments, the rise in sponsorships was dramatic. The year after establishing credit card through Pay Pal payments online, sponsorships increased more than $20,000 above budget projections.

If there is a price tag on anything a Chamber does, it should have an online credit card through Pay Pal, payment plan.

We would appreciate a response to the exercises with any suggestion, or use the Exit Poll  Tell us what you think! 

Questions still unanswered!

     Do you have a Chamber member that sells emergency supplies for the purpose of setting them aside in case of an earthquake or other disaster?
