Feature your Job Opportunities to a Professional Audience

36% of respondents downloading the Relocation Packet move to the area seeking employment. To accommodate this need and continue to develop Duluth’s growing workforce, our website hosts a Find A Job page to promote open job positions, free for our members.

Bring heightened awareness to the position by promoting it in our Week at a Glance email. Includes:

• Career Corner Week at a Glance inclusion
  • 25-word description
  • Clickable logo
  • Four weeks inclusion
  • Emailed to 2,500 professional recipients

Utilizing the Chamber mailing list is an effective way to send out any large mailing to area businesses. Sent as a spreadsheet, this mail­ing list includes contacts for the member business, company name, and address. The mailing list will also include telephone number, number of employees and business classification. If you need to direct your mailing to large/small businesses, the list can be sorted by employee count or specific type of businesses (i.e. real estate agents). This list does not include email addresses.

$195 – Primary Contacts – approx. 1,000 recipients
$235 – Primary and Secondary Contacts – approx. 1,400 recipients

Agency members are asked to use these lists either for your own marketing campaigns, and/or purchase a mailing list for each client as applicable. This will keep access equitable for our Chamber members as well as prevents an over-saturation to the recipients.
