Benefits of Chamber Membership

Marketing

New Resident Bags

Chamber Members are encouraged to drop off coupons, business cards, brochures and “goodies” to be included in new resident bags delivered to all of the new residents of Berthoud. This is a FREE benefit to Chamber Members. Only Chamber Members can participate in this program. The bags are delivered monthly after the Chamber Luncheon.

Monthly Newsletter

The Chamber’s newsletter will keep you abreast of Chamber and community news. Premier members are listed in the newsletter monthly. The newsletter is distributed to all of the Chamber Members via email and is available for download on our Chamber web site.

Networking

Chamber Luncheons

Make business contacts and learn invaluable business information at the Chamber’s monthly Luncheons the fourth Thursday of the month.  The Chamber hosts luncheons at various locations and is designed to bring members up to date on current events, personal growth and professional growth, issues affecting the workplace and other valuable tools to help the entrepreneur/manager. Monthly speakers are experts in their fields.

Business after Hours

Make professional contacts in an informal setting at the Chamber’s monthly after-hours events every second Thursday of the month, 5:00 – 7:00 pm. After-hours are hosted by Chamber members for Chamber members. This is a great way to promote your business and develop long term relationships while having fun. Our Chamber maintains the small town warmth and hospitality that makes our group friendly and approachable. If you would like to host one of these events please let the Chamber know and we will take care of the promotion of the event.

Referrals

The Berthoud Area Chamber of Commerce receives hundreds of calls every year from people seeking local products and services. Your Chamber Membership means that your business will be our first referral. We ALWAYS refer our Chamber members FIRST.

Ambassador Program

The Ambassador Program meets once a month to discuss how they can be of service to the Chamber. New Member Luncheons are offered quarterly to welcome new businesses to the Chamber.

Community Relations

Ribbon Cutting

The Berthoud Area Chamber of Commerce will help you and your business celebrate your grand opening or your new membership in the Chamber with a ribbon cutting ceremony.

Sponsorship Opportunities

The Chamber has a variety of sponsorship opportunities available to members for the Chamber’s three community events, Berthoud Day, Fall Festival, and Holidays in Berthoud. We offer flexible packages from $50.00 – $1,300.00 to meet all of your business and budget needs.

Installation Dinner

In late January the Chamber welcomes the incoming Board of Directors and thanks the out going Board of Directors. Each year the public is welcome to this great bash the Chamber puts on. Another reason to be a part of the Installation Dinner is to congratulate the Chamber’s Citizen of the year. The Chamber has been honoring a special member of the community for many years. The Chamber’s Citizen of the Year does not need to be a Chamber Member, but must be an incredible community member.

New Teacher Breakfast

The Berthoud Area Chamber of Commerce and the Loveland Chamber of Commerce welcomes the incoming Thompson R2-J teachers to our community, and encourage you to join us in welcoming them. This is an excellent opportunity for you to introduce your business to these 75 to 150 incoming teachers. Educators are the foundation of our community helping to shape future leaders and business owners. We delight in being able to recognize these important members of our community.
