Turning Your Chamber Membership into a Business Growth Strategy
As we head into May, it’s a good time to assess the value you’re getting from your Chamber membership.
In a recent blog post, Craig Turner from Momentum – The Business Growth Agency reminds us that ROI doesn’t come from simply being a member. It comes from showing up, building relationships, and staying engaged.
Here’s where the return really happens:
- Attend events regularly – Our monthly mixers and roundtable speaker series connect you with business leaders, potential partners, and new customers. The more you show up, the more people get to know and trust you.
- Follow up with connections – Great things happen after the event. Book coffee meetings, exchange referrals, and keep conversations going.
- Get involved – Volunteer, speak, or sponsor. These are powerful ways to build credibility and get your business in front of the right audience.
- Set clear goals – Assign someone on your team to track your activity and outcomes. Treat your membership like any other business investment.
The Chamber is a platform—you get the most from it when you engage. Not sure where to start? Let’s talk. We’ll help you build a plan that aligns with your goals.
Let’s turn participation into growth. You’re not just a member—you’re part of a business network built for success!
Chamber Update – We have a New Payment Processing Platform!
We’ve upgraded our payment system to make things easier for you. You can now quickly pay your membership dues, register for events, and even save your payment information for faster checkouts. Want to simplify renewals? Turn on autopay with just a click. We’re also accepting debit and electronic payments at our Monthly Mixers!
These improvements save you time and help the Chamber reduce costs—win-win. We encourage you to take advantage of this new system and enjoy the added convenience.
