Unique Promotional Opportunities

See below for details on:


E-Blast Policy

The Yorkville Chamber sends weekly e-blasts to get news out to members in an efficient and timely manner. To control overuse and excess volume, content is limited to reporting Chamber news/events; however, opportunities have been created for members who wish to include their news in an e-blast.

Guidelines for E-Blast Inclusion

Members may utilize Chamber e-blasts as a cost-effective promotional medium that goes out to over 700 subscribers.

Your e-blast promo may include a link to your website or event flyer.

E-blast graphics should be designed and submitted in jpg format, using specs outlined below, to: membernews@yorkvillechamber.org.

The cost* to include a promotion:

>In an upcoming scheduled e-blast (subject to timing of Chamber e-blast schedule)

>Or in your own exclusive e-blast

*PARTNER LEVEL MEMBERS receive a 10% discount on e-blast promotions.
*PREMIER MEMBERS & NON-PROFIT MEMBERS receive a 20% discount on e-blast promotions.


Free Bi-Monthly “Business Connect” E-blasts for Members

Twice monthly the Chamber will send a Business Connect e-blast that contains postings from the Member News web page (see below). This is a FREE member benefit available to all businesses and non-profits who wish to share their news, events, job postings, specials, etc. Posts will be in text only format, but will link to the Member News page where flyers may be viewed. Businesses wanting additional e-blast exposure may refer to the above policy. Submit news as instructed below for automatic inclusion.


Website Member News Page

All members are encouraged to announce their news and job postings for FREE on the Chamber website “Member News” page. Use this feature to announce news (events and activities, sales, specials, awards, job postings, etc.). Send information in text format to: membernews@yorkvillechamber.org.


Social Media

The Chamber maintains group pages on which members are invited and encouraged to promote their businesses.

When possible the Chamber will like/follow members’ social media business pages. Members are encouraged to follow Yorkville Chamber on Facebook and Instagram.

Hosting & Showcase Opportunities


Event Sponsorship

Annual opportunities for visibility at events include:

Levels for each event are announced as dates approach.

Volunteer positions are generally welcome at events and provide a great way of getting to know others in the business community. Wearing of logo-wear is encouraged.


Holiday Promotions

As the holidays approach with Small Business Saturday, Shop Small, Shop Local, and Black Friday campaigns, along with open houses, events and holiday specials… rather than create yet another activity the Chamber will offer free help to its member businesses to promote their holiday events. Watch e-blasts for details on how to submit.
