Interested in becoming a Member Benefits Partner?
As a Member Benefits Partner, you can elevate your corporate brand and leverage our reach to connect with your target audience. If you have a unique B2B offering that helps businesses save time and money and/or enhances a user experience, then let’s talk!
To be eligible, interested parties must meet the following criteria:
Non-negotiables:
- Membership. Partners must be members in good standing of the BC Chamber of Commerce, which means not only are you delivering member value, but you’re receiving it too!
- Alignment of core values. Partners must share the provincial association’s core values and commitment to supporting businesses across the province.
- Unique value. Partners must offer unique value, i.e. savings and/or non-financial benefits that cannot be secured elsewhere.

- Program management and support. Partners are responsible for managing all aspects of their B2B program and providing technical/non-technical support to program participants as needed.

- Dedicated webpage and URL. Partners may provide a landing page dedicated to the offering – ideally white labelled with the BC Chamber of Commerce brand clearly visible – and a URL link to the page.
- Revenue share. While generating savings and/or non-financial benefits to businesses is paramount, there will be some instances where partners may choose to share revenues with the promoters of the offering. Where a revenue share arrangement is in place, partners must settle any revenue owing no later than 90 days following the year to which it relates.
