Texas Best Chambers provides a custom design for your Chamber with all the tools you need to build and manage a content-rich, fully interactive chamber website.

Membership Features

Membership Directory – Search Function

Chamber staff can log onto the site and update member profiles linked to their accounts. When entering member information, staff can assign one more categories to each member in the membership database. Visitors can easily search the entire member directory through an interactive database online with an effective search tool by business category, company and/or owner names.

Membership directory search function.

Member directory list with company logos and links to member pages.

Customized Member Pages / Member Logins

Custom member pages are automatically generated from the membership directory. Staff can choose to manage member pages or have members have their own logins and the member will customize their own page. This keeps profiles up to date and gives you a better understanding of your membership base, so that you can offer enhanced member services to unique member preferences. Each member page can contain logos, pictures, and links and customized SEO. Member pages have their own custom search engine optimization with their very own keywords for the products and services they offer, just like their own company website, for optimal ranking in search engine results. Members without a website can now get presence online with a chamber member page and those members who have websites will improve their company’s website ranking with more web presence online with their member page.

Your chamber has three options for this function: you can choose to offer this service to the members and staff can take care of all the edits on member pages, have Texas Best Chambers take care of these updates or choose the additional programming function for each member to have a login and make their own edits.

Secure Online Payment

Providing ecommerce capability for your visitors directly through your website is an ideal way to generate additional revenues. It adds functionality to your website by allowing visitors to process payments, such as first time members, membership renewals and purchasing tickets for fundraisers, luncheons, banquets and other events, as well purchasing banner advertisements and event sponsorships. We also offer visitors the flexibility to process payments manually, paying by cash, check, or a credit card without an online payment processor—while still allowing you to process and track the payment.

We can transform your website from a static brochure to a dynamic online storefront, where visitors and members can make purchases and have their credit cards billed automatically.

Banner Ads

Chamber staff can add, maintain and organize banner ads on your website and obtain stat reports for your members. Banner ads are very effective marketing tools that enable members to advertise on your site. Especially when you can send a statistical report showing how many visitors are clicking on that banner ad to the Chamber member that is paying it! Visitors simply click on images on the banner ads to be redirected to the members’ website. The Chamber can also use banner ads to provide a graphic link to a specific area of its own website like a web page, news article, or event.

Banner ads can be a great source of new revenue streams when you charge members to display their ads on your site. You can track banner ad statistics, including how many times visitors click on a particular banner, enabling you to easily quantify the value of these advertisements to your members. The more visitors your site receives, the more valuable advertising on your Web pages will be. Chamber staff can easily upload images in the proper placement of the website and link them to the member’s company website. Members receive monthly reports of hits for banners they are using on the site.
