The Total Resource Campaign is an exciting approach to revenue development for the Bentonville/Bella Vista Chamber of Commerce.

 

The Bentonville/Bella Vista Chamber of Commerce is ready to help you build your business by embarking on an ambitious campaign called "We're all in this together."We are also pleased to announce that, Jim Demaree, Founder of F.R.I. Marketing, LLC will be leading this effort, recruiting business leaders "throughout the community" to help us achieve our revenue goal of $350,000.00!!!!

 

"We're all in this together" is a fun and exciting volunteer-driven campaign designed to encourage membership, networking and provide great sponsorship & marketing opportunities for your firm.

  • Rather than focus on a membership drive to increase dues revenue, the TRC focuses on everything the Chamber sells.

  • To continue to be the respected voice of the business community we need to have funds to support projects and issues that will enhance business growth and development.
  • The opportunity to sell all Chamber products at one designated time during the year is beneficial to both the Chamber and our members.
  • Our goal for this year's campaign is $350,000 in new revenue and continuing programs.
  • The 17 week campaign will begin with a big kickoff event Friday, February 1, 2013. We will meet every couple of weeks on to celebrate success and to recognize the week's producers.
  • As a campaign participant you and your company are recognized for your involvement and you will be publicly rewarded. When you reach a certain level of production (sales) you are invited to attend this year's campaign celebration/planning trip-TBD. It's usually tropical and all inclusive.
  • We are currently looking for corporate teams and individuals to participate in the fun campaign and/or Sponsor TRC events (that help fund the TRC.)

Informational/Kickoff luncheon-February 1, 2013, 11:30 a.m. Sponsored & held at the DoubleTree Suites. Please RSVP to Tammy Thurow at 479-273-2841 or tthurow@bbvchamber.com.
