• For Chambers of Commerce •
Your member coupon book.
Without the print run.
Your community still buys the book. Your members still fill it with offers. But it lives on every buyer's phone, there's nothing to print or pay for upfront, and for the first time you can show members which offers actually brought people in.
Non-dues revenue that doesn't eat your fall.
The printed member book works. People happily pay for a year of local savings, and members love the exposure. The hard part is everything around it: the print deadline, the proofing, the typo you can't fix until next year, the boxes in the back room, and the cash envelopes.
LocalFork keeps the fundraiser and drops the paper.
Who does what.
The honest version. It still takes a little from your team, just a lot less than a print book.
What your team does
- Send us your member list
- Approve offers, one click each
- Help spread the word: newsletter, socials, your front desk
Want to see it first? Ask on the walkthrough and I'll build a working demo with your own member businesses in it.

Free to start. We only earn when a book sells.
80%of every sale goes to your chamber
- No setup fee
- No annual fee
- No cost to your members
- No inventory
- No contract
LocalFork's share is 20% of each book sold. Card processing is covered by a small service fee the buyer pays at checkout, so your 80% arrives whole. If a book never sells, you owe us nothing.
Example: sell 500 books at $40 and your chamber keeps $16,000, with nothing paid upfront.
Chamber questions
How much work is this for my staff?
Less than a print book, but not zero. You send us your member list, and we build the book and collect the offers from your businesses. Your team mostly approves offers and helps spread the word.
Do our members pay anything?
No. Taking part is free for every business, and they don't need any equipment. Most businesses choose self-redeem, where the shopper scans a printed sign at the counter on their own phone.
What do we pay?
Nothing upfront. LocalFork's share is 20% of each book sold, and your chamber keeps 80%, paid straight to your own bank account. No setup fee, no annual fee, no contract.
What about members who aren't comfortable with technology?
We can build their offer for them from your member list. They never have to log in unless they want to.
Can we still sell some printed books?
Yes. Plenty of chambers run both during the first year.
Which chambers are on LocalFork?
The Watertown Area Chamber of Commerce and the Greater Madison Area Chamber of Commerce (MadSavings), both in South Dakota. Their storefronts are public, so take a look.
