Chamber membership connects your business to:
Our Business Referral Center
Each year the Chamber receives thousands of inquiries from individuals utilizing our telephone and walk-in referral center. They ask for everything from a list of businesses that provide a certain product or service to the phone number of a business because they don't have a phone book handy. Our policy is to refer members only. Gain customers and valuable business contacts through free listings in our annual print Member Business Directory and our online Membership Directory complete with a link to your home page.
Free Publicity
New members receive publicity at WakeUp! Midland, our monthly morning networking program, and are listed in other Chamber publications. Starting a new business? Take advantage of a Chamber sponsored ribbon-cutting event. We'll promote your new business in the Midland Business Focus, the chamber newsletter mailed to over 1,200 business contacts, and delivered to 10,000 households in the Midland area in the Midland Daily News.
Unmatched Exposure
Besides the directory and web listings, member referrals, and publicity, being a member also entitles you to take advantage of our marketing development programs. Over 20 free opportunities each year to meet other decision-makers and network, allows thousands of people to market products, service, and themselves. Select from a menu of advertising and marketing options to fit your budget and goals. Promote your goods or services through direct mail to our membership with the Chamber's mailing list, or through a cost effective advertising in the Midland Business Focus.
