Benefits of Membership
Advocacy
Forget what you know about the status quo of chamber membership. Our CEO, Jill Lamkin, is the voice for local business. She is passionate about advocating on your behalf. This is the primary purpose of her position. Local issues with licensing, planning, or permits? Jill has relationships with City Staff, Commissioners and City Council. She’s on the Board of Directors of LA County BizFed, and Co-Chairs its Small Business Committee, giving her broad exposure to County and State legislation. She knows public policy challenges facing your business and is adept at advocating on your behalf. The Manhattan Beach Chamber has the pulse of the business community and is serious about helping you. Members receive important updates in Jill’s “Making Waves” members-only email newsletter.
Professional Growth
Our events will help you make connections with like-minded people seeking mutual success to help you grow your business. We hold events at Member locations only because we strive to showcase our members to the community. Our digital marketing campaign includes targeted advertising to use our huge base to promote our Members. We make it a priority to promote our Members on social platforms for collaborative growth. We have over 6,000 Instagram followers, and our weekly e-mail update reaches over 9,000–all wanting to hear the latest news from Manhattan Beach businesses.
Education & Innovation
The chamber offers hands-on workshops, subject matter speakers, and public official forums to keep your business issues in the spotlight, along with specific resources to help you implement marketing and management tools for your business. If you need a resource to help you implement an idea, we will help you make the right connections and take the headache away. Members enjoy a weekly email centered on issues related only to Members, with links to City/County/State restriction updates, business resources, ways to participate in promotion, upcoming events, funding sources, and more.
Community Engagement
Our ‘Community Connections’ newsletter has over 9,000 subscribers. Our website Events Calendar receives over 7,000 visits a month and expands your promotional exposure including a section titled ‘Swell Things’ where Members can prominently post monthly promotional flyers about special offerings or advertise their business. Expos and events throughout the year provider Members with valuable pop-up opportunities to showcase and promote their businesses, including the Skechers Manhattan Beach Holiday Fireworks, a signature Chamber event that attracts over 20,000 attendees the second Sunday of December.
A.I. and Analytics
The Chamber subscribes to Placer.ai and Members benefit from our strategic use of its location analytics. The software can assist in determining visitation trends, trade areas, personal demographics, and much more. This assists in understanding customers’ behavior, to determine where best to distribute chamber publications to target advertising, where to focus digital marketing efforts and event management.
