For chambers of commerce
Chamber of commerce software for members, events and circulars
A chamber runs on its member businesses. Etribes keeps their records, renewals, circulars and events in one place, and gives every member business a public page and a digital visiting card it can share.
How it often works today
Renewal season means phone calls
Staff call and message member after member to collect annual fees, then match payments against a spreadsheet by hand.
Circulars sink in WhatsApp groups
Important notices get buried under forwards in a group of hundreds, and nobody can say who saw them.
The directory is an old spreadsheet
Member details live in a file only the office can open, and much of it is out of date.
Events end with a paper register
Attendance is written by hand at the door and typed up days later, if at all.
How Etribes handles it
Renewals that remind themselves
Members get a reminder before their membership expires and renew online from their own account. The payment is recorded straight away, and bank details are there for anyone who prefers a transfer.
Circulars kept in one place
Send a circular or broadcast to every member or to a chosen group, by email and WhatsApp. Formal notices stay together, and you can see whether each email was delivered.
A business page for every member
Each member business gets a public company page and a digital visiting card it can share by link, so membership brings visible business value.
A directory members can search
Members find each other in a searchable directory with business profiles, next to the chamber's list of important contacts.
Attendance recorded on the day
Record attendance at the event, or upload the attendance sheet afterwards. Attendees can receive a participation certificate in their account.

Questions from chambers of commerce
Can member businesses promote their work through the chamber?
Yes. Each member can publish a public company page, share a digital visiting card by link and list products or services on Vocal4Local, the community marketplace, where other members can send enquiries.
Can we send a circular to only some members?
Yes. Broadcasts and circulars can go to all members or to a group you choose, by email and WhatsApp.
Can we keep company details as well as the contact person?
Yes. You can add your own questions to the member form and to the company form, so you record both the person and the business.
