A message from your Chamber
The Expo is one of my favorite things the Chamber does. Offering people a chance to learn about local business face-to-face is so exciting.
Now, it's too late for your business to have a booth but if you still want to participate there is one way --
DONATE A DOOR PRIZE.
Each time a name is drawn throughout the day, the business donor of the door prize will be announced. In addition to having your name called out, this prize is a great way to spread goodwill about your business and win a new customer or two.
Just drop your prize off at the Chamber 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday through Friday of next week. (If you have a booth already, you are asked to bring your door prize to the Expo when you set up on Saturday.
We want to hear from you
Last week, we sent out our annual Chamber membership survey. We have had about a 20% response rate, which is fantastic for something like this but we like to have VERY high standards.
You can help us meet those standards RIGHT NOW by clicking
HERE and answering nine easy questions. Do it now, though because the survey ends at midnight tonight. (One response per business, please.)
Get on board with TEAM TAYLOR!
