The Wilmington Chamber of Commerce membership decal brands your company with the long history, credibility and reputation of the Wilmington Chamber of Commerce.

How does it work?

The program is voluntary. Discounts can be offered by Chamber members in good standing to other Chamber members and the member business’s employees. Simply fill out and return the form below and the Chamber will publicize the discounts to our 1,250 members.

What types of discounts can be offered?

Any type of discount can be offered, such as a percentage off the purchase price. For instance, a 10% discount off the price of a car rental or 15% off color copies. Or a "freebie", such as a free dessert with a customer’s meal. Be creative and consider your target market.

What is the benefit?

First and foremost, bringing in customers and promoting your business, without the cost of advertising. Discounts will be advertised in Chamber publications and through the Chamber website. The program encourages Chamber members to do business with other Chamber members. It also provides Chamber members with an opportunity to offer their employees an additional benefit in the form of discounts at area businesses.

We also meet regularly with our state and local elected officials to provide our annual Legislative Agenda for Business, direct input from the business community on issues of importance. View the Chamber's 2013 Public Policy Agenda…

Community Improvement

The Chamber works to improve the quality of life in the region through its flagship program Cape Fear Future. The initiative is helping ensure the region has economic prosperity, higher-paying jobs, and the skilled workforce required by area businesses for decades to come.

Economic Development

The Chamber aids the economic growth of the community by attracting new residents and supporting the recruitment of new business.

Contacts

Beginning with Member Briefings, where you are introduced to networking possibilities, the Chamber offers ways to make contacts with other members through socials, expos, conferences, committee meetings, and special events.

Referrals

We receive thousands of requests each year for recommendations on goods and services in the Greater Wilmington area and we refer our members.

Marketing Your Business

Member businesses receive a listing in our online membership directory and announcements of new and renewing members are made in our weekly email newsletter. Numerous marketing opportunities are available through sponsorship of Chamber events, purchase of advertising space in Chamber publications, or through more creative methods like hosting a BizMix social networking event.

Expos

Business-to-business expos are conducted annually which allow members to market their products and services to other Chamber members and the community.

Green Plus

Chamber members can participate in a sustainability program that focuses on practical, achievable, cost-effective steps that will help businesses "go green" and provide long run benefits and, frequently, short run as well. It was developed with smaller enterprise is mind, those with 500 or fewer employees. Participating businesses can achieve certification in the program with reasonable effort that won’t put a strain on staff time. The sustainability program is being sponsored by Chamber member Piedmont Natural Gas. There is a fee for participation in Green Plus.

A Membership That's Right For You

Because our members range from sole proprietors to global corporations, and have varying needs from their Chamber membership, we have developed a tiered membership structure that offers a wide range of possibilities.
