Your members' best benefit isn't networking. It's culture.
A white-label employee engagement platform you can offer to every member business — branded as yours, priced for chambers, recouped at 2-10 paying members.
What Best Places to Work is, in 90 seconds
Best Places to Work is a workplace culture survey platform purpose-built for Chambers of Commerce. Chambers white-label it as a member benefit. Member businesses run anonymous employee engagement surveys, get an AI-generated action plan, and benchmark against BLS industry data and US Census regional data — all at roughly 70% less than enterprise tools like Culture Amp, 15Five, or Glint.
Chambers typically recoup the annual platform cost at 2-10 paying members, then host an annual "Best Places to Work in [Region]" recognition event using the platform's data — turning the benefit into both revenue and brand equity.
Why chambers choose us over enterprise platforms
Three things that make this platform a fit for chambers — and that no other workplace culture tool offers.
True white-label
Your chamber's logo, colors, and domain. Member businesses never see our name — they see yours. Branded emails, branded reports, branded recognition certificates.
Chamber-friendly pricing
$2,500/yr Co-Branded, $7,500/yr White-Label, or $0 Revenue Share. Recoup at 2-10 paying members. Compare to $25K+/yr enterprise platforms designed for F500 HR teams, not chamber operations.
Recognition program built-in
Run an annual "Best Places to Work in [Your Region]" event. Verified scores, ranked lists, downloadable badges and press kits — all generated by the platform. A new revenue stream + earned media for your chamber.
The chamber economics
Annual White-Label at $7,500/yr. Here's how chambers recoup it.
| Recoup path | How many members | Average per member | Net to chamber |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bundle as premium-tier benefit ($250+/yr dues uplift) | 30 members | $250/yr | $0 cost — fully covered by dues uplift |
| Sell as add-on ($500/yr per member) | 15 members | $500/yr | $0 cost — recouped at 15 sales |
| Charge for certification ($1,000-$2,500/yr) | 3-8 members | $1,500/yr | Pays for itself + recognition event sponsorships |
| Revenue share model | n/a | n/a | $0 upfront — split with us per member sold |
Common chamber questions
Do we need staff to operate this?
No. We handle onboarding for each member business directly. Your chamber's only job is the introduction — we take it from there. Most chambers spend under 2 hours per month on the platform.
Can we limit it to our paying members?
Yes. We provision access by membership tier. Premium members can get full white-label dashboards; basic members can get just the certification badge. You set the rules.
What about chambers outside Illinois?
The platform serves any U.S. chamber. We're based in Illinois and our anchor partner is the Illinois Valley Area Chamber of Commerce (IVAC), but the platform is geography-agnostic and the BLS/Census benchmark APIs cover the entire United States.
How does the annual recognition event work?
The platform generates the ranked list, certified badges, downloadable winner press kits, and a stage-ready slide deck. You handle the venue and invitations; we handle the data and creative assets. Most chambers monetize the event through sponsorships and ticket sales.
What if a member business already uses Culture Amp or 15Five?
Most don't — those tools start at $25K/yr and are priced for F500 HR teams. The member businesses in your chamber (typically 10-500 employees) are exactly who Best Places to Work was built for. For the few that already use enterprise tools, we coexist — they can still participate in your chamber's recognition program using exported data.
Is there a minimum contract length?
Annual contracts with 30 days notice for cancellation, no penalties. We're staking our reputation on chambers re-signing because they see results — not on locking you into multi-year commitments.
