Project Overview

The goal of this project is to create a library of at least 12 engaging and professional Facebook and LinkedIn posts that promote the value of joining the Chamber of Commerce, with a dual focus on:

1. Highlighting Chamber Benefits: Emphasize the benefits businesses gain by becoming Chamber members, such as networking opportunities, advocacy, visibility, and access to resources.
2. Recruitment of New Members: Address the challenges Chambers face in attracting new members by crafting compelling recruitment messages that appeal to potential businesses and entrepreneurs.
3. Community Impact: Showcase the broader impact Chambers have on communities, including economic growth, community promotion, and fostering collaboration among local businesses.

Project Objectives

• Develop  cohesive social media content  tailored to Facebook and LinkedIn audiences.
• Create visually appealing and compelling posts that include graphics, captions, and calls to action.
• Emphasize the Chamber’s role as a catalyst for business success and community development, while encouraging new businesses to join.

Student Benefits

• Hands-on experience in social media marketing for nonprofits.
• Portfolio-building opportunities with real-world deliverables.
• Insight into the operations and impact of Chambers of Commerce.

We believe this project will provide students with valuable learning opportunities while making a meaningful contribution to our nonprofit’s mission. Full transparency - like most NFP orgs we do not have $20k for this project!

Please let us know if this aligns with your program’s objectives or if you would like to discuss further details.

Thank you for considering this request. We look forward to the possibility of working together.

Key Deliverables

1. A minimum of 12 ready-to-publish social media posts
2. A content calendar outlining the recommended posting schedule.
3. Supporting materials such as hashtags, design templates, or suggested metrics for tracking engagement.

Why This Project Matters

Chambers of Commerce play an essential role in advocating for businesses, fostering economic development, and building strong communities. However, many Chambers face challenges in attracting new members, which can limit their ability to effectively support local businesses. By leveraging the creativity and skills of your student teams, this project will help the Chamber reach existing and new target audiences effectively, promote membership recruitment, and provide students with real-world marketing experience.
