A 20% - 30% profit from an in-house publishing project is a reasonable expectation.

Chambers of Commerce, as with most other associations, are looking for creative ways to generate more non-dues revenue streams and save money wherever possible.  Many chamber CEOs say that while new member sales are flat or slightly up, retention has been a challenge.  Sponsorships are down.  Special projects are stalled because they cannot be funded.  Reserves have taken a beating or worse, are gone.  City funding is gone, or has been substantially reduced and there is more pressure to keep business local.

In-house publishing can be done successfully by most any chamber, provided they have the right partner managing the process.  Chamber Marketing Partners is hired to manage the entire in-house publishing project.
