Chamber of Commerce
Yodel’s innovative technology is designed for Chambers of Commerce to bring the community together, promote members’ events, and save time in the process.
Pain Points Solved
- Limited Submissions: Event calendars tend to rely heavily on submissions from members, which can result in inconsistent and incomplete event listings.
- Time-Consuming Event Collection: On average, Chamber staff spend 350-450 hours annually gathering local events to populate their event calendars – time that could be spent cultivating member relationships.
- Poor Search Engine Ranking: Chamber websites typically rank for only a limited number of event-related keywords, leaving a significant amount of web traffic that’s searching for local events untapped.
- Non-Dues Revenue: Chambers actively seek non dues revenue opportunities.
- Member Benefits: Chambers are increasingly focused on offering distinctive benefits to retain and grow membership, especially as online alternatives make it harder to demonstrate unique value.
The Solution: Yodel’s Automated Event Collection System
Boost Website Views & Engagement: Event calendars consistently rank among the top three most valued types of content in community and audience surveys (see RUN 2025 Executive Summary). Yodel customers typically experience an increase in page views and an average engagement time of over three minutes per visitor.
Unlock Sponsorship Opportunities: With high engagement times, pages featuring the Yodel Event Calendar are ideal for monetization. Yodel also offers premium sponsorship placements directly within the calendar widget to help you drive revenue with minimal effort.
Increase in Membership and Non-Dues Revenue: By leveraging Yodel as a member benefit, Chambers can increase membership and leverage banner ads to generate non-dues revenue.
Chambers Rejoice!
Yodel’s technology streamlines the process by automatically gathering virtually all local events and delivering them directly to the Chamber event calendar. Here’s how it works:
Complete Event Coverage: Yodel collects an extensive range of local events, including those that may not be typically submitted by member, providing Chambers with more comprehensive listings.
Full control of what events are shown:Despite the automation, clients retain full control over which events are displayed.
Improved SEO Performance: By helping clients rank for a broader range of event-related keywords, our system attracts significantly more web traffic, increasing visibility and engagement for local events.

See what other Chambers are saying about Yodel
The implementation of the Yodel calendar has been a fantastic addition to our Chamber website. It has not only been an effective way to house local events, but a way to drive people to the Chamber website who may not necessarily visit. It allows the Chamber’s functions to be visible as a significant part of the community and allows alternative clicks for the businesses belonging to the Chamber simply because the Yodel calendar creates increased traffic. A win for everyone!

Wyandot Chamber of Commerce, CEO
Yodel has been an amazing partner in every way. From the start, they have ensured we have the information we need, and they have talked us through options and opportunities in a way that made it clear how much value they could bring to our business. Their communication is stellar, and their work is timely and on point. They are open to new ideas and took the time to talk with us about our vision; and now they are looking into the technology to potentially make that vision a reality. We couldn’t be happier with the quality of the product, the service, and the care Yodel has provided.

Yodel has become a “go-to” tool for our Coshocton County Chamber of Commerce office. I would love to tell my colleagues in the Chamber world to run and get signed up for the Yodel Community Calendar. The experience and the Yodel Team are both top-notch. You will not be disappointed, and it is marketing money well-spent.
