Marketing is considered one of the most important aspects of growing your business. One of the goals of the 2017 Marketing Sponsorships is to offer our members the chance to publicize their businesses at various activities and special events. Businesses and/or organizations can take part in the advantage of this increased exposure. (See attached inserts.) The monies invested with the Chamber will benefit our organization as we work to promote business in the community. Sponsorship levels are broken down as follows: Platinum - $2,500.00 Silver - $600.00 Gold - $1,000.00 Bronze - $300.00 For your investment, you will be given the following: 1.) Advertising on our website; 2.) Advertising listings on printed materials at Chamber events; 3.) A listing on a Chamber banner that will be seen by everyone who attends Salem Chamber events; 4.)
