are new potential Chamber members, right? That means you have the opportunity to be the hyperlocal authority for site selectors.

Why does your Chamber
need a Property Index?
Site selectors bring
new businesses to
a community and
are new potential
Chamber members.
Be the hyperlocal
authority for site
selectors.
Do you list available commercial real
estate on your Chamber’s website? You
should! One of your most important roles
is attracting new businesses to your
area, and showcasing local properties is
the best way to do it.
BrokerSavant’s property listing services
make maintaining a commercial property
database on your site simple and
cost-effective, with a highly visible,
easily searchable index. Our
patent-pending Property Index
integrates seamlessly with your
website, and its streamlined, data-rich
interface puts all the information site
selectors need one mouse-click away.
And all you have to do is sit back as local
brokers upload their own flyers for free,
populating the index.
Today’s Chamber has a larger-than-ever
role to play in the economic development
of the community. Our cutting-edge tools
allow you and your members to
collaborate with property owners and
brokers to showcase local commercial
opportunities in a hyper-local setting.
The result? A stronger Chamber of
Commerce with a larger, more
authoritative voice. A Chamber-driven
Property Index helps your
members—and your area—grow the
strongest economy possible.

5. Generate non-dues
revenue with sponsor bar
integration
If there’s one thing a chamber can use
more of it’s non-dues revenue. Adding a
sponsor bar to your property index is a
great way to earn it! At the same time
your chamber is providing promotion to
local business owners. Two boosts to
your local economy for the price of one.
Sponsor bars can even offset the entire
cost of your property index.
The strategically placed banner attracts
visitors—and the premium location
attracts sponsors. Your chamber controls
sponsor messaging, frequency and price
points for local business sponsors.
Rotate as many sponsors as you want.
Don’t just generate traffic with your Property Index. Add a sponsor bar
and generate revenue, too!

indexing solution

so time isn’t wasted entering anything
manually.
Engage Site Selectors

opportunities are ever overlooked when
searching.
The Gold Standard
The unique details that a commercial
broker includes on a property flyer are
the ones that are most complete and
up-to-date. Instead of requiring
information that doesn’t pertain to
some properties, we allow their flyer
to do all the talking.
