Ways to promote your business

eBlast questions

What is an eBlast?

A promotional email we create for a member in good standing and send to our email list. It usually has text and images, and can include flyers, logos, and links. We build eBlasts in Constant Contact.

Who can send one?

Chamber members in good standing. Depending on your level and how many you have used, there may be a fee. We cannot send eBlasts for nonmembers.

How much do they cost?

eBlasts cost $50 each. Standard members receive one free eBlast a year, nonprofit members two, and Gold members three. You can buy more after using your free ones.

How many people receive one?

About about 1,050 addresses. A few organizations have strict spam filters that reject marketing emails, or emails with many pictures or links.

How are they made?

We arrange the copy and images you send us in a Constant Contact layout. We do not edit or spell-check your copy or your subject line, so make sure it says what you want. A subject line with your organization’s name and a call to action gets more opens.

How far ahead should I ask?

Slots are first come, first served, and we send no more than six eBlasts a week, so send your materials early if you have a date in mind.

Can I see it before it goes out?

Yes, we are happy to send a proof. Repeated revisions add to the production time, so we cannot promise your first requested send time if the proof changes several times.

Thank you to our Diamond and Platinum members
