2008-2009 Chattanooga Chamber Champion |
|
"When we began building branches in Chattanooga, we wanted to increase visibility among the gatekeepers and decision-makers who lead the city and its businesses, schools and churches. So when the Chattanooga Area Chamber approached us with an opportunity to become the first ever Chamber Champion in 2006, we jumped at the opportunity. We have never regretted the decision, enjoying a great return on our investment due to the Chamber's high profile here, in the state and nationally. Our investment has brought returns as good as ad dollars spent, while the Chamber's talented, attentive staff and enormous success make it easy to support them." | |

PURPOSE |
|
The purpose of the Chattanooga Area Chamber Champions Sponsorship Program is to eliminate the repetitive solicitation of funds necessary to carry out the five premier events and the scores of networking opportunities we have throughout the year. Members in the Chamber Champions Sponsorship Program are contacted ONLY ONCE. In that way, the Chamber provides you with a comprehensive opportunity to budget and sponsor at three different levels that best match your budget and marketing needs.
Marketing and promoting your company is one of your largest business expenses. By participating in the Chattanooga Chamber Champions you have access to creative and effective promotional opportunities to target your customers.
The full spectrum of Chattanooga business is reflected in the Chamber’s member-investors: manufacturing, service, retail, insurance, financial, health care, education, information technologies, non-profits, government, and more. The scope of Chamber member companies ranges from home-based enterprises with sole proprietors to major international corporations.
The common element among the Chamber’s diverse members is leadership in the business community. By virtue of their membership and participation, these companies and the decision-makers that direct them commit to helping make the Chattanooga area a better place to live, work and do business. At the same time, Chamber member-investors enjoy a host of benefits, including the best business connections around! |
