Host a Wake Up Alexandria!
Hosting a Wake Up Alexandria is a great way to promote your business. The event brings many people into your business to learn more about the services that you offer. With the $200 host fee, the host business also receives promotion prior to the event through radio, newspaper, social media and Chamber email blasts. Contact Jess at 320-763-3161 or jess@alexandriamn.org for more information! |
Host an Off the Clock!
Off the Clocks are available upon special request and are structured similar to our Wake Up Alexandria events. They are open to members and non-members. A dollar gets you in the door and all dollars raised are donated to a non-profit Chamber member chosen by the host business. Members have the opportunity to make a brief announcement about their business to inform attendees of upcoming events, promotions or any additional information. |
Pot of Gold
The Pot of Gold drawing is a highly anticipated part of our Wake Up Alexandria event. The Pot of Gold is generously sponsored by Chamber members who donate business items, discounted services or gift certificates. Sponsors of the Pot of Gold are promoted through email blasts, displayed at the event, published on the Chamber website and listed in a press release when the Pot of Gold is won. If you are interested in being a sponsor contact Jess Ptacek at 320-763-3161 or jess@alexandriamn.org.
“Our organization, the Vikingland Band Festival, was excited to win the pot of gold at a “Wake Up Alexandria” networking event! There were so many generous gifts from businesses in the Pot of Gold. We shared many of them among the committee members. We also shared some items with others who are involved with the annual band festival. Winning the Pot of Gold was fun and it gave us some extra media exposure as the Chamber is great at promotion and marketing for its members.”
