Chamber E-Connection Guidelines and Policies

Newsletter Goals and Audience The purpose of the Chamber E-Connection newsletter is to share our members' events with other business and community members. It is an informational newsletter and helps to promote our member businesses and their events. Each Friday, our newsletter is sent to over 1,800 individuals. Our separate emails are sent to the same list, but are held especially for our Chamber events and Business After Hours. Newsletter Policy E-Connection events are included based on requests from the member business. The following criteria are requested by the Marshall Area Chamber for event submissions: Events flyers or submissions must be an actual event. We do not include sales or promotions. Events can be included in the E-Connection for one week free of charge, and you have the option of adding one additional week for $20. Submissions must be sent the Wednesday prior to that Friday's E-Connection to be included email chamber@marshallmn.org All event flyers are for Marshall Area Chamber of Commerce members only.
