Hi Joanne,
As you may have already seen, our membership rates are going up starting April 1st.
Increasing prices is never a popular topic for anyone. But it's a reality of the economy.
For a long time the Holistic Chamber of Commerce has kept rates on the lower end, being much less expensive than traditional chamber of commerce entities and other professional networking organizations such as BNI. But in order to grow, and advocate for holistic change at a global scale, we can no longer undervalue what the HCC is doing.
With every price increase, we always go through a period of a select few people dropping their membership. I am sure this has happened within your own business, whether you are selling a product or service.
I personally feel that most of the time when this happens it is because said client/customer isn’t either making good use of the product/service, or isn’t aware of the value they are receiving.
With that said, this is a good opportunity to ask yourself if you are making the most of your membership! Are you even aware of what’s included in your membership?
#1 - Have you done your Member Spotlight? This is a 20-minute livestream video on the HCC social media channels that you can repurpose to share with your own social media following and email list, as well as embed it into your website.
Emails with the link to schedule this and go out frequently, so keep your eye on your inbox.
#2 - Are you attending the monthly members-only Zoom networking event? If not, you are missing out on the opportunity to expand your reach and grow your business through genuine referral relationships with other professionals and practitioners.
#3 - Are you attending the monthly global business-building event? No matter what stage of business you are in, there is always something to learn and improve upon. Our guest speakers allow for personal Q&A time to get your business-y questions answered!
#4 - Plus, our CEO and Grand Poobah, Camille Leon, does quarterly-ish “Conversations with Camille” Zooms that also focus on money, profit, social media strategy, visioning, and much more!
**And good news! We are making it easier than ever for members to attend monthly networking and global events by dropping pre-registration and sending out the Zoom link an hour before each event so ALL members get it. Want to hop on last minute now? No problem!
Also…
- Are you posting your events on the HCC event calendar?
- Are you participating in the private members-only Facebook group?
- Are you taking advantage of members-only discounts? (Do you even know what kind of discounts you can get as a member?)
Take a moment to consider where you may not be taking advantage of your membership. What do you need to adjust, participate in, or sign up for?

P.S. – If you are reading this and are NOT a member yet, NOW is a great time to get your application in so that you can lock in pre-April 1st rates. We are talking about almost $100 in savings!
