Member Benefits
When you join the Chamber, you’ll get so much more than just monthly networking events. From business support to directory listing, Chamber membership provides a whole host of benefits with a common aim; the continued growth of your business.
get-connected
Valuable local business connections: Getting face to face with potential customers is often the most difficult and expensive activity any business has to undertake. Being part of the Horsham District chamber gives you regular direct contact with key business leaders and decision makers with built in opportunities to present your business proposition. This happens at networking and social events organised by the chamber. A regular monthly networking event is included in your membership package and other events organised may be charged according to the type e.g. Charity Events, Training, Workshops, etc See our events schedule hereGet Visible
Business Exposure and Presence: Not only will you be invited to present your business to the other members and visitors at Chamber events on a regular basis, but your business will be constantly present online in the Horsham District Chamber’s members directory.
Get in the Know
Engagement and Awareness: Keep up to date with general business initiatives and activities available in the Horsham district. The chamber is a conduit for local government, colleges and other key local voices to reach the business community, so being part of that engagement brings obvious opportunities and benefits.
Get Social
Social Media Activity: We all understand the need to be active on social media but keeping up with the technical changes, thinking of what to say and getting around to doing it is a challenge for many businesses. A key part of the Horsham District Chamber’s objectives is supporting businesses in building and enhancing their social media presence. Not only will your membership mean you can be shared on the Chamber’s own social media profiles, it also means your business can participate in activities and workshops to learn and improve your own business’s social communications.
Get Referred
Business Referrals: Every business owner knows that referrals are a key component of any business development strategy. The relationships and friendships built through a Chamber membership are proven to produce work through referrals.
Get Credibility
Gain Authority: Being part of your local chamber tells prospective customers that you are a visible part of the local business community and helps to ease any concerns they may have in regard to contracting your services when your company is not known to them.
