Benefits
The Chamber offers a variety of opportunities for you and your business. New membership benefits are added often. We can customize benefits packages and are always taking suggestions for new benefits. Call us today to learn more.
Our benefits always include:
Ribbon-cutting ceremonies - This is the best way to gather the Town of Brookline around your new business! We help plan and market your ribbon-cutting, share it through our social media channels, and even bring the big scissors!
*Please note the following:
- Ribbon-cutting ceremonies are limited to Chamber members.
- We don't offer ribbon-cutting ceremonies on weekends and typically find that Tues, Wed, and Thurs between 3:00-5:00 pm works best.
- The Chamber requires at least a month and a half to plan a ribbon-cutting. We want your ceremony to be the best it can be. Because Brookline always has a lot going on, we need lead time to invite guests, plan food, and market the event.
- Please note the Fall is our busy time. During October and November, we may be unable to accommodate your ribbon-cutting, so please plan accordingly. We will always do our best to find a mutual time that works.
Networking and Educational Events - Get to know the other members of the Chamber through networking events and an online directory. Does your team want to brush up on its marketing skills? Join our business bootcamps and learning seminars. Offered throughout the year for members who want to combine professional development and networking opportunities.
A monthly feature in our Brookline Business Blast Newsletter - On the first Friday of every month, the Chamber sends out an email newsletter with the latest news from local businesses (that’s you!). This newsletter goes out to all of the businesses and prospective members on our email list - about 1400 and growing!
Business Listing on DiscoverBrookline.com - This website was created by the Brookline Chamber of Commerce in order to reach the greater Brookline consumer community. People looking for events to attend or business recommendations can go to DiscoverBrookline.com to interact with your business.
Access to the Brookline ChamberMaster - Connect with other local businesses for partnerships, collaborations, professional development, and more with a login to ChamberMaster.com
A Membership Decal for Your Storefront and/or Website - Receive an official Brookline Chamber of Commerce membership decal to stick in your storefront door/window, on your car - or wherever you do business! We’ll also send you a digital membership logo to put on your company website, letterhead, business cards, promotional materials, and/or social media. Using this logo informs the public that you are a proud member of the Brookline Chamber of Commerce, and it demonstrates both your commitment to the business community and our commitment to you.
Advocating on Behalf of the Business Community - Need help navigating obstacles to running your Brookline business? We are your resource for advancing your business.
*COMING SOON* Access to the Local Job Board - Are you hiring? Add your job listing to our DiscoverBrookline.com job board for the Greater Brookline community to see.
