We are raising our profile.
And yours too!
The Chamber has raised the bar
- we're now offering members much more
than we did before. As business owners, we realise that
you need any help you can get to remain competitive,
prosper and grow your business.  Fakenham
is at the dawn of an exciting new period, where the
town is expanding and attracting new funding. It's a
golden opportunity for new and established businesses
in the area to improve the town and the financial prospects
for the community. We aim to help our members take advantage
of that opportunity with high quality benefits that
only membership of our chamber can provide.We're joining
forces with other local groups and using professional
PR techniques to become a more powerful voice for Fakenham
and the surrounding area. We're telling everyone that
Fakenham is "Open For Business!"
We will help you promote
your business
We have a ready-made platform for you to promote your
business to a worldwide audience. Our new-look website
has been designed to incorporate a searchable database
of local trades and services which is not only easy
to use and listed by internet search engines, but can
be updated by our members in real time. You can even
use your database listing to promote special offers
and discounts to potential customers, as well as making
sure your contact details are up to date.
If you're already a member...
... but have not yet included
your details in the Business Directory web pages, please
click the button below. You'll be able to fill in and
submit a quick online form and the Chamber will contact
you with your login details. You'll then be able to
edit your own page of the Business Directory.
More possibilities...
Our newsletter provides another
promotional opportunity. The Messenger is a monthly
publication which is provided free to all chamber businesses.
A great route direct to local decision makers, with
local business information, advertising opportunites
as well as editorial space for your own business' latest
news and PR.
We can save you money on
goods & advertising
 We
are negotiating attractive
discounts with leading advertising media in the
region. Our members also get preferential rates in local
directories and newspapers, giving them the ability
to run longer, wider-reaching and more cost-effective
ad campaigns.
Many of our members give fellow
members a discount of 10% or more. Don't forget to ask
when you use the services of a Fakenham Chamber member.
We have plans for the future
too...
Fakenham ”Open For Business”
Phase One was for the development of this website and
its associated Business Directory, along with a 're-launch'
of the Chamber. We're not stopping there though - that
was only phase one of three.
The second phase of our plan for Fakenham
Chamber and its businesses is to promote the town through
the media, using specialist expertise. A PR company
will be employed to tell the world that Fakenham has
raised its business profile. Not a 'one-off' media blitz,
but a sustained ongoing campaign. This will allow us
to compete with other towns by raising awareness and
attracting interest across the region. We'll be spreading
the message that Fakenham has a new, modern image and
we aim to create a new 'buzz' around the town.
The final phase
of our plan is to provide more business possibilities
for Chamber members with a series of meetings, get-togethers
and social events.
A professional Networking expert will
be employed to arrange and direct an exciting schedule
of events which will be designed to provide more opportunities
for business, exchanges of ideas and for enjoyment too!
Regional inter-chamber meetings are also planned, where
we can share larger events, invite guest speakers and
swap ideas and information.
We plan to give Chamber members much
more value for their membership fees. Our Chamber means
business!
