A partnership proposal for Chambers of Commerce

The Monastic+ ChamberPartnership

One platform to run the Chamber, one team to grow it, and a standing program that brings real value to every member.

Prepared for Chamber leadership by Monastic Marketing

Everything your Chamber needs to serve members, under one roof.

Chambers run on relationships, events and communication, yet most are stitched together from member software, email tools, ticketing sites and spreadsheets. We replace that patchwork with a single system, then put an experienced team behind it.

Pillar I

Monastic CRM

A complete chamber management platform built to replace ChamberMaster, and then some. Membership, communication, events, ticketing and payments in one login, with tech support included.

Pillar II

Agency Services

Hands-on help from our marketing team: social media, email and text strategy, event management, ticketing and room and table assignments.

Pillar III

Member Workshops

Business and marketing workshops one to two times per month, hosted on behalf of the Chamber and branded as a Chamber member benefit.

Our requests

A simple exchange that benefits every member.

In return for the platform and services, we ask for a few things that help us serve your members well. The more the Chamber takes on, the more of these requests apply.

  1. “Needs Help With” Questionnaire

    New members complete a short questionnaire built into onboarding that identifies where their business needs support, from operations and finance to marketing, staffing and technology. The Chamber gains a clear picture of member needs. Anything marketing related receives a free consultation from Monastic.

  2. Sponsorship Tier

    Monastic is recognized at the Chamber sponsorship tier equal in value to the services provided, with the same benefits and visibility as any sponsor at that level.

  3. Event Access

    Monastic team members receive access to Chamber events at no cost, so we can meet members, support events in person and stay connected to the community we serve.
