POPULAR ONLINE BANNER AD
Every quarter the Chamber offers all of their members the opportunity to place their business ad on the Chamber website with a direct link back to your own business' website or Traffic Catcher page. These Popular Banner Ads will appear on popular page of the Richmond Chamber website such as the Calendar of Events page, Member Directory page, and within the Member Online Area page, and will randomly rotate between ads as the page is refreshed.
The Richmond Chamber website received anywhere from 50-100 visitors per day and those visitors browse, on average, for over 3 minutes each! That's quite a bit of time for your ad to be displayed.
Cost and Run Time: Each ad will run for three months (quarter). This advertising is already included in the benefit packages of the President's Circle, Executive, and Sponsoring Levels at no extra cost. For those members at any other level, ad space can be purchased for only $300. At a run time of three months, that's only $100 per month!

NETWORKING EVENTS & SPONSORSHIPS
As you know, the Chamber puts on many networking events throughout the year in order to provide opportunities for our members to meet one another and show their business' potential, face-to-face. We, at the Chamber, firmly believe that when you are involved and present at networking events, your business will become more recognized in the community and will positively benefit from that.
Some of the annual events and sponsorship opportunities include the Annual Fundraiser, Super Mixer, Business Expo, that when you are involved and present at networking events, your business will become more recognized in the community and will positively benefit from that.
Economic Summit, Thanks-4-Giving Luncheon and many more. By sponsoring one or more of these events, your business will receive various levels of promotion as a result. Some sponsor levels include recognition in local and county-wide news and press, getting your logo on all the marketing materials, banners and signs, and receiving free tables or tickets at the event. These are only some of the benefits available and will vary depending on the event and level of sponsorship.
Be sure to double check your membership level benefits to see what sponsorship opportunities may be included in your membership benefit package. If you have questions or need more information on the current available sponsorship opportunities, contact us today.
