New RFP Tool Launched!
In an effort
to boost the local economy and drive additional
business to Manatee Chamber Members, we have
recently completed programming on a new Request
for Proposal Tool. Do you need printed
materials, catering services, photocopiers,
signage, etc? Save time and money by submitting
your request online and receiving bids from your
fellow Chamber Members.
Visit
www.ManateeChamber.com and click on the
RFP
Tool. Complete the form and select the
business categories that match your request.
All Manatee Chamber Members in those categories
will automatically receive your request and the
opportunity to contact you to provide a quote.
The tool is available to
everyone - you do not have to be a Member to
send a request. However, the opportunity
to receive requests will only be given to
Chamber Members.
