Q: How can I get word of my event to the Chamber membership?
A: the Chamber offers a discounted ad space in our weekly newsletters (Business Voice Online or Chamber Events Online) for community events. Into an ad template, we place your logo, the title of your event and 30-50 words about your event. The fee for this service is $75/members, $100/non-members (+HST) per week, subject to availability. For more information about booking a community event ad, please contact Jennifer Pierce, Member Services Manager, at jenn@halifaxchamber.com or (902) 481-1227.

A: There are a number of ways to promote your event for free in Halifax:

Q: How do I place my event on the Chamber's event calendar?
A: The Chamber's event calendar displays Chamber events only. We host over 100 events of our own per year - that's already a pretty full calendar!
Q: Can you send an email about my event to the Chamber membership?
A: No. As part of its committment to members, the Chamber sends one regular email per week (Business Voice Online or Chamber Events Online) and a maximum of one additional "bulletin" email per week to its members. Due to the volume of requests we get from members and outside parties to access this list, we are not able to send emails on behalf of third parties.
Q: Can I have/buy the Chamber's mailing list database to send my own emails to the Chamber's membership list?
A: No. The Chamber does not sell or give out its membership database. The member directory is searchable online.
