KCCE and KRF Partnership

KCCE and Kentucky Retail Federation Form Partnership

KCCE and KRF have formed an official Resource Partnership to provide local chambers opportunities and services for retailers in your area.  It is our hope that you can utilize this partnership to provide added value to your current members as a retention tool, as well use as a recruiting tool.

The Kentucky Retail Federation will work with you and your staff to "customize" a program of valuable services you need specifically for your local retailers.  While the KRF provides some services similar to those already offered by the KCCE, the goal is not to compete but to compliment those that add value to local Chamber membership.
Member service program offerings may include affinity programs that do not compete with KCCE offerings, retail specific legislative and regulatory information, issue briefings, retail industry news feeds and industry trends and updates, and communications services.  Their staff will also be available to make presentations to your members regarding retail related issues and help you in the formation of a "Retail Merchants Council" if you so desire.

The Partner's Program provides an all-in-one package that you can present to current and potential members, enabling you to retain the members you have and recruit new members; it enables your chamber to provide a level of service unheard of among local chambers of commerce; it gives your members services that they need to help them run their business better; and it provides you and your staff with a source to go to with questions in order to provide members with the answers.
 
How does it work?
A KRF staff person will sit down with you and your staff (or a committee) and outline the services available, how the program works, and how to market it to members and potential members.  For more information and to set up an appointment, contact:
