2025 Marketing and Sponsorship Guide 

Introducing the new Marketing and Sponsorship Guide



Chamber members and partners,


Our chamber of commerce has spent the last six months listening to you. Our aim was to learn what our business and civic organizations value in a chamber of commerce. We launched a membership retention committee to facilitate this work. In addition, we spent time networking with other chambers of commerce to learn best practices to build off of. As a result of that work, we are excited to unveil what we have been working on: a new tiered dues schedule that focuses on community advancement and a new procedure for soliciting sponsorships for our business and community events.


New Tiered Dues Schedule: as a chamber, we know that a chamber membership is more than just a membership; its an investment in the community. Furthermore, we know that no business is the same, so why should our chamber membership benefits treat us as such? We wanted to embed flexibility into our list of benefits. We also wanted to provide our chamber membership more voice and choice for how you choose to invest with us. That being said, we have now released our new investor-model tiered dues schedule. It is grouped into three levels: CONNECT, ENGAGE, and IMPACT. See the list of benefits below.


Marketing and Sponsorship Guide: as a chamber, we know that our member businesses have annual marketing budgets to prepare. We also know that if businesses knew ahead of time what all their options were, they could budget for it ahead of time. That being said, we are now providing a list of sponsorship opportunities for you to choose from in advance! That way you can review all your options at once, then simple call us and tell us what events you would like to sponsor.


Our Board of Directors and our chamber staff hope you enjoy this new change to your chamber membership. Our goal in this is to meet our businesses where they are at; we want to remain flexible to the ever changing needs of our chamber membership. Our chamber of commerce appreciates your investment into the Monett area community.


As we begin approaching 2024, we look forward to continuing to strengthen community bonds and partnerships, and upholding the legacy of excellence that the Monett Area Chamber of Commerce has been known for!
