GREATER TEHACHAPI CHAMBER OF COMMERCECHAIRMAN'S CIRCLE
The Greater Tehachapi Chamber of Commerce is offering an opportunity for our members to enjoy more recognition, visibility and opportunities through our Chairman’s Circle. The Chairman’s Circle offers a number of ways to market, advertise and promote your company on a regular, consistent basis.
The Chairman’s Circle offers four specific packages ranging from $1,000 to $7,000. It is the Chamber’s goal to help you develop an annual package of benefits that will raise the visibility
of your company in the community. By strategically planning your marketing and advertising activities in these areas, you can develop an individual campaign that will deliver bottom line benefits.
Chairman’s Circle members enjoy the convenience of a one-time all-inclusive transaction that insures representation at Chamber events, in its publications and on the Chamber’s website. This is a wonderful way to plan your budget each year. The Chairman’s Circle will not only let you plan for your sponsorships of annual events, but will also avoid those many calls individuals receive to gather support for the Chamber’s many great events.
Feel free to contact me with any questions regarding the Chairman’s Circle. I invite you to arrange a visit to discuss the benefits and privileges of membership in this special group of members who have made an annual commitment to support the Greater Tehachapi Chamber of Commerce through sponsorships and marketing opportunities. I look forward to working with you on a program to enhance your company’s recognition and visibility in our community.
