(Newswire.net — November 10, 2014) Middleborough, , MA —
The Cranberry Country Chamber, which represents the towns of Middleboro, Lakeville, Raynham, Bridgewater, Plympton, Halifax, Carver, Wareham, and Rochester, has launched a new membership campaign to underscore its new and expanded benefits for local business. Additionally, to spread the good news, the Chamber is including a complimentary news release for each new member as part of that value.
The news release, written and disseminated by Cranberry Country Chamber member PR Works of Plymouth, MA, will focus on any aspect of the new member’s business. Topics could range from touting the new chamber membership, personnel release (key new hire, promotion, years of service or training), community involvement, milestones (anniversary, number of customers served), new product line or service, or business award or recognition. The news release draft and rollout would typically cost $400 and is free with new chamber membership. Chamber membership starts at $225.
“Chamber membership is about reaching out, being seen and working alongside other businesses to generate new opportunity,” noted Valerie Glynn, President and CEO of the Chamber. She added, “We think this unique membership drive and publicity offer is a great way to get new members connected with the press and community.”
One of the new initiatives of The Cranberry Country Chamber has been to introduce The Cranberry Institute for Better Business, in collaboration with Rockland Trust, which offers more in-depth seminars and workshops. Additionally, networking opportunities now include monthly “Business After Hours”, quarterly “Coffee and Conversations”, and annual regional “Business After Hours” with eight nearby Chambers of Commerce.
In addition, the Chamber has opened up its conference room to members who seek a venue to showcase their knowledge or for an event. Special events such as The Annual meeting, Expo, Member Recognition and Auction; Elements for Excellence, a half day educational conference for women; Golf Tournament which supports local scholarships; Legislative Luncheon; and the Multi-Chamber Expo all help highlight chamber businesses.
The Cranberry Country Chamber of Commerce is located at 40 North Main Street Suite F-1, Middleborough, MA 02346. For more information, please visit www.CranberryCountry.org or call 508-947-1499.
