Have you joined the
Summerland Chamber of Commerce, yet?
Chambers of Commerce provide access to valuable resources, discounts, and relationships that help businesses save money and market their products. Joining a Chamber of Commerce can boost sales and significantly improve a local business' visibility and credibility.
Pros of Joining a Chamber of Commerce
Take a minute and consider why a Chamber of Commerce might be a good idea. There are a number of benefits that include:
More Exposure for Your Business
No one is going to know you exist if you don’t put yourself out there. People who are moving into the area or who are looking for something cool to check out in the community look to their Chamber of Commerce to provide suggestions. If you’re on their list, you’ll get free marketing as a result.
Networking Opportunities
You’re going to mix, mingle, and rub elbows with other members of the professional community at various events. This can lead to opportunities you never imagined.
Grants & Funding
If you’re part of a Chamber of Commerce, you’ll have a community with your best interests at heart. They may even be able to help you find business grants and funding that you otherwise wouldn’t have known existed.
Getting Your Voice Heard
United we stand. By being part of a Chamber, you’re with other like-minded business owners who want to succeed. You can bring concerns to your local government like regulations, taxes, or costs that negatively impact you.
Freebies & Discounts
Overall, Chambers of Commerce can be a ton of fun. They host events and sometimes even offer you promotional gifts or epic raffle prizes. Not only that, but networking might score you some coupons or deals from nearby businesses, whether it’s a tasty restaurant or a carpet cleaning service.
