Member Business Benefits

Member Business Benefits

As a WinCentral member business or non-profit organization, you have access to specifically designed, targeted ways to help you promote your business in our community - no matter the size of your promotion budget.

WinCentral membership costs for for-profit businesses are $75 per year ($45 for Chamber of Commerce members). Non-profit organizations can join WinCentral at no charge, provided they agree to these requests.

WinCentral member benefits for businesses and non-profits include: 
  1. Exclusive WinCentral Member Business decal
    Your decal identifies you as a WinCentral member business and will draw Deal Card holders to your store. You can offer special promotions to card holders which can be changed, repeated and paused at any time. Card holders who automatically receive a Winchester Deal Card when they register on WinCentral.org will access up-to-date information about your offer (s) at WinCentral.org. Consider making your offers for one month at a time.
    The window decal should be displayed in your storefront window and on your Web site. A list of valid Deal Card activation codes can be obtained from WinCentral upon request.
     
    The window decal should be displayed at the front of your store and on your web site.


     
  1. Access to WinCentral
    You have access to all of WinCentral.org, including forum discussions, calendar of local events, news section, classified ads, and business directory. Use WinCentral.org to communicate with other members of the Winchester community.
  1. Enhanced Business Profile
    Our business database lists all businesses based on public records. As a WinCentral business member, you can control the way your business is shown in our database. You can create an enhanced listing simply by creating a business profile under the “My Profile” link. The process is very intuitive and well-documented. For those members who prefer to have personal help setting up a custom profile page, we can do so for a nominal fee of $25. 
  1. Adding Promotions and Offers
    You can add an unlimited number of offers and special promotions for Deal Card carrying WinCentral members to your profile. Simply click on the “My Offers” link and follow the instructions. Your offer will be shown next to your business listing, and on the “All Offers” page. Your offer can be printed by users, or they can send it as a text message to their cell phone. 
  1. Potential inclusion of your offer in WinNews (included in your membership)
    Monthly, business offers will be printed in the Deals and Offers section of our companion publication, WinNews. There are a limited number of spots available for this free listing. At its sole discretion, WinCentral will choose which offers to print based on relevance, relative attractiveness and other factors.
      
  1. Exclusive Distribution of the WinNews town calendar
    Judging from the expressed interest of many, the monthly Town Calendar is an eagerly awaited and consulted section of WinCentral. Member businesses and organizations are the exclusive distributors of this highly anticipated publication. This will bring many looking for a copy to your door! We reserve the right to determine the number of copies allotted to each business or organization.
    A copy of WinNews is free and can be considered a service from you to your patrons.
  
 
 

Special Sponsorship Opportunities are available, but NOT included in your membership

WinCentral is a Winchester-based non-profit organization. It depends on sponsorships to provide its services to the community, including opportunities for business promotion, the town calendar, and the incentive shopping program for residents. Membership fees alone will not allow WinCentral to operate self-sufficiently.

 

WinCentral has a number of attractive sponsorship opportunities available, both in print and online. Details can be found in our Sponsorship Rate Card. Contact us today for rates, terms and conditions.

 

WinCentral reserves the right to make adjustments to the member benefits at any time. For current member benefits, check www.WinCentral.org/member-business-benefits.html
