Marketing Tools For Success

Chamber membership gives your business the marketing, advertising and public relations tools to position itself in the regional marketplace, deliver your message to customers and community stakeholders, and establish your brand presence in association with the Chamber of Commerce. 

Credibility & Visbility

Consumers believe chamber members use good practices, are reputable, care about their customers and are involved in the community. A 2012 national survey by the Schapiro Group shows that when consumers know that a business is a member of a chamber of commerce, they are 80% more likely to purchase a product/service from a Chamber member.  The membership directory page is the #1 visited site on the Chamber’s website with over 20K hits and all members can be searched alphabetically, categorically and by keywords.  

Advocacy

Have your voice heard on important legislation and regulatory issues before state, county, and city governments through effective representation that yields results for business. The Chamber can focus on important legislative issues that can impact your business while you focus on managing and growing your business. 

Information

Be the first to know and stay ahead of the competition with access to important information concerning the local and regional economy, find out about legislation and regulatory issues that will impact your business and learn about economic development initiatives that can create new opportunities for your business. 

Networking

Make valuable connections and build collegial business relationships on the executive level through quality and professional venues hosted by the Chamber of Commerce throughout the year. Social media is a very powerful marketing tool, but there is nothing more powerful than in-person meetings. The Chamber provides opportunities for both.
