Go International: Grab more Opportunities for your members

Imagine your chamber has a local fair, exhibition or trade show to promote, and you’d like to increase attendance, and attract people from other cities and countries to the event. How do you that?

Do you hire an advertising agency to promote the event abroad? Do you buy advertising on Internet and in international newspapers and trade magazines?

In fact, most of chambers won’t be able to afford the cost of a national or international marketing for all their events. Even if they could, the impact may be well limited.

Surprisingly, chambers could overcome these limitations by joining forces through peer referral networks, where they recommend each other events.

When a chamber has an event to promote, and needs help to reach and attract people from other cities and countries, they will log into the peer referral program and send referral requests to other chambers of commerce around the world. The chambers of commerce that find the event interesting will recommend it to their local contacts and businesses for Free.

It is a more simple, effective and affordable way for a chamber to promote its local business events and opportunities abroad.

The “Goodbuzz Network” has been created for that. Check it out here: http://www.goodbuzz.org
