How does it work?
Discounts are offered by Chamber members to other
Chamber members and their employees. The Chamber publicizes the
discounts to our nearly 500 member businesses. The fact that it
is also offered to the employees of all Chamber member businesses,
means exposure to thousands of potential customers for any member
business who participates in this program. It also provides Chamber
members with an opportunity to offer their employees a no-cost additional
benefit, in the form of discounts at area businesses.
What types of discounts can be offered?
Any! Some that could be offered include a percentage
off the purchase price, such as a 10% discount off car detailing
or 10% off dry cleaning.
You could also offer a “Bonus”. For
example, if you operate a restaurant, you may want to offer a free
dessert with a customer’s meal.
Be creative! You may want to keep in mind that
to be effective and popular the discount or bonus should be substantial
enough to attract attention. The most popular are across-the-board
discounts of 10-15%.
What benefits will I receive?
This is an opportunity to promote your business
with no cost for advertising, promotion or materials. You also have
an opportunity to attract new customers through this program, since
Chamber-member employers cover thousands of employees in the Cayuga
County area, and your discount could attract many of them to your
business.
The Chamber will promote your discount in a listing
of all discount or bonus offers that will appear in future monthly
membership mailings. The Chamber will be promoting this program
and your discount at every opportunity.
