PROVIDE A USEFUL MEMBER BENEFIT
You can use the "group buying power" of your membership to get very competitive rates for your small business members.
We can afford to offer these rates because we have to do less marketing and we gain some economy by offering standard service packages.
Beyond the rate, your membership can feel some comfort that they are not out there alone on this - your organization is available to stand behind them in dealing with us.
We are confident that the quality of our service will make you both satisfied.
The way this program is structured your organization does not need to provide staff or technology resources. You get the benefit and outsource the work.
GENERATE SOME ADDITIONAL REVENUE
Every organization has felt the budget crunch. In addition to offering your membership this quality service at competitive rates, your organization can get a contribution for every member who signs up.
You are free to set the amounts. We recommend either $50 upon signup (used in the rates on the member benefits page) or $2/month for the life of the account. The table below shows an example of the magnitude of revenue opportunity:
| Membership | Participation Rate | Resulting Signups | Contribution Plan | Net Revenue |
| 3000 | 10% | 300 | $50/Ea | $14,500 |
| 3000 | 10% | 300 | $2/Mo | $6,960/Yr |
You have no costs since this program will be setup for you for free (with the revenue from the first 10 sales used to offset the setup costs).
It will remain free for your organization to offer as long as there are are least 10 active accounts in the program.
AS THE BASE FOR E-SERVICES
Beyond the intial benefit of your members having affordable web sites, your organization might be ready to go the next step and offer content subscriptions.
This could take the form of seasonal or monthly new articles or fact sheets that your organization prepares and distributes to members for their use.
For example, a local Chamber of Commerce can provide a monthly list of events and seasonal shopping tips for consumers.
A subscription service can provide valuable web site content for your membership (at nominal cost) and include advertising or promotional links for your organization.
And of course, the ways to build on this program are limited only by imagination....
Use this valuable service to your members to gain a little more revenue for your organization.
Increase the benefits of your membership without having to increase your costs or overhead by offering an affordable, quality service that they need.
Use Internet technology as part of your relationship with your members and position yourself as a resource for them.
This program was designed to serve local Chambers of Commerce, non-profit fraternal groups, industry associations, and publishers oriented to small business markets.
