Redmond CVB

What Redmond CVB does

Redmond CVB operates as a combined Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB) and Chamber of Commerce serving Redmond, Oregon in Central Oregon. The organization serves a dual constituency: out-of-town visitors seeking consolidated trip-planning resources, and local businesses seeking chamber membership, networking, and marketing services. Its principal product is the Visit Redmond Oregon website (visitredmondoregon.com), a WordPress-based content management platform incorporating event management plugins (The Events Calendar), email marketing integration, and a member directory module.

The organization monetizes through four streams: email advertising placements in the Weekly Update newsletter sent to 1,400+ business professionals ($25-$100/week tiered offerings), website banner advertising ($175-$250/month), recurring chamber membership dues (undisclosed), and event vendor fees. Email engagement metrics are notable — a 46.5% open rate and 7.2% click-through rate materially exceed industry averages of 20-25% and 2-3% respectively. Strategic airline partnerships with Alaska, United, Delta, American, and Avelo extend visitor catchment to RDM (Roberts Field) from LAX, SEA, SFO, DEN, SLC, PHX, BUR, LAS, PSP, and STS.

Go-to-market is community-led and event-driven, layering tourism promotion through the website and visitor guide with chamber networking events and major festivals including FairWell Festival, Music on the Green, Redmond Brewfest, and Holiday Village Market. The organization employs 1-10 staff, operates from 446 SW 7th Street in downtown Redmond, and is structured as a membership-based, non-profit organization with a Board of Directors. Revenue is not publicly disclosed. The site meets WCAG 2.1 accessibility conformance. In October 2024, the Chamber proposed a partnership with the City of Redmond as tourism development focus shifted, and a 2025 Board of Directors election introduced new governance.
