THE BENEFITS OF MEMBERSHIP
services available | enquire or join online | colour brochure
As a member of the Toowoomba Chamber of Commerce, you have access to a range of services which can add to the scope of your enterprise. These include:
Remarkable rates package from the Chronicle
The Toowoomba Chronicle, a long-time Chamber supporter, has unveiled an extremely generous rates package for all financial Chamber members. As well as providing Your Chamber with a subsidised publicity package for the next 12 months, the Chronicle is offering all members a unique small business advertising rates package.
The starting rate for members will be the 2500 cms rate, representing a 30%-plus savings over standard rates. Scott Playle of Toowoomba Newspapers who is also a Chamber board member, said that normally an advertiser would have to spend $25,000 in 12 months before attaining this level of discount. To take up the offer, contact the Chronicle on 46 909300 and provide your Chamber membership details. (Remember, you must be a financial member to ensure you receive the discount.)
Monthly enewsletter
This medium allows you to bring yourself up to date at your desk, in a fast download format. Be informed about issues and legislation changes that may affect the viability of business. For a nominal fee, members can advertise their business in the enews.
Online Forum
The forum allows members to post messages and interact with other members.
Through the forum, we will also gain a better understanding of your interests
and concerns. By presenting Pacesetter polls from time to time, the forum
will help us to formulate policies and programs that are geared towards
today's business issues.
Online Business Directory
Advertise your business for free in our online directory and for a nominal fee, you can add images to your entry. You control the content of your entry and you can edit the information as often as you like. Be recognised as a leading local business by your representation in the Chamber directory.
Networking Opportunities
As a member, you can attend a number of networking activities as a guest of the Chamber or for a nominal fee. These activities are held regularly, and provide you with an opportunity to mix with other Chamber members, to share information and make contacts.
An Informative Website
This website allows you to access important information, provide your own comments direct to your Board members, and link to a range of useful business web sites. The members-only region adds value to your subscription.
Lobbying
If you have an issue with government, your Chamber can assess your situation and offer advice. Should it be of benefit, lobbying under the auspices of the Chamber may be undertaken.
Training
Through the Chamber's affiliation with Commerce Queensland, all members can access a wide range of training programs at discounted member's rates. These include management, workplace health and safety, professional development, marketing and customer service training.
Toowoomba Business Excellence Awards
The Toowoomba Business Excellence Awards allows recognition of high achievement by peers and introduces all business to best practice activities. This in turn must translate to better product and service delivery, to the benefit of individual enterprises, and the city overall. Your membership gives added strength to the importance and prestige of the Awards.
Access to collective knowledge
Your Chamber office offers members access to collective information on the local business environment, sourced through our membership base, Commerce Queensland and the personal experience of Chamber staff and members.
