Chamber Newsletter
Have a sale, promotion, milestone, etc. that you would like to share with fellow Chamber members? Email us with a graphic and copy and we will include your message in our bi-weekly Chamber newsletter for FREE!

Chamber Social Spotlight: Behind The Biz
Building visibility for your business can be fun and natural! And we’ve got just the way to support you.
Here’s the deal:
We’ll drop by your business for a casual visit on an agreed upon date (nothing too formal, we want to keep this fun and hassle-free!), snap a few photos, film a short reel, and highlight your business across our Instagram and Facebook. In collaboration with you, your business will appear in multiple places in a couple different formats.
Additionally, there is the option to set a drop-in date for other Chamber members and community members to stop by your business, say hi, grab a selfie (and maybe even a refreshment or service from your business). Chamber and community members will be encouraged to share and tag so we can reshare and continue to spread the word and boost your reach! This option is really great to take advantage of to boost foot traffic during slow hours within the day/week.
