Consumers Support
Chamber Members
|
|
The study, which was commissioned by the American Chamber of Commerce Executives with support from Small Business Network, Inc., used several different experiments to determine the real value to companies in terms of consumer outcomes of joining and being active in their local chamber of commerce. So the question is: Do consumers really support businesses because they are chamber members?
