Support Your Community with our New Patron Card
|
|
The Glendale Chamber of Commerce works as a fantastic referral source. Often times members are patronizing your business without you even realizing it! Which is why we've designed these patron cards to help show businesses that the Glendale Chamber Community is STRONG!
By using this card you are reminding fellow members that it pays to be a member of the Glendale Chamber of Commerce and in return they'll be influenced to use the directory for their next outing/purchase.
Presenting this card is simple - just leave it with your cashier! The card will prompt them to pass it along to their leadership.
We encourage you to pick up a few cards from our office or at our next event to keep in your wallet and of course to continue shopping Chamber!
It's as easy as A-B-C "Always Buy Chamber"
