BENEFITS OF JOINING THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

Become a Member:

The benefits of joining your local Chamber of Commerce are plentiful and beneficial!

The Chamber is made up of a group of like-minded people, helping to further local businesses which, in turn, benefits the entire community.

The Chamber can provide information on existing businesses, as well as new businesses that are just getting started.

In some ways, the Chamber becomes a mentor for new businesses – introducing them to the area and all the opportunities there are with becoming a member.

Most Chambers provide the ability for you to advertise your business on their website, which opens the door for more opportunities. The more visitors to the Chamber’s website, the more business you can get from a link directly to your website.

Studies have shown that customers are most likely to frequent businesses that are a member of their local Chamber of Commerce. They also provide the opportunity to advertise your membership on your website and storefront.

Get Involved:

Being a part of the local Chamber of Commerce gives business owners several opportunities to get involved with local organizations in the community. Many of these organizations help bring awareness to local needs in the area that some Chambers partner with.

You can get involved in your community and promote your business at the same time through social networking, golf tournaments, and much more, all organized by your local Chamber of Commerce.

If you are a new business or an existing business that has either expanded or relocated, a ribbon-cutting ceremony can bring amazing attention to your storefront.

In your local Chamber of Commerce visitor center, employees help promote your business – you can leave brochures and additional information for visitors to the area to take with them and have for future reference.
