101 Ways to Take Advantage of the Chamber!

Howdy Siouxlanders! What another fantastic day, this weather is incredible; not too hot, not too cold…Perfect!

Well, you know what Thursday means…That’s right, time to get out ten more ways you and your business can take advantage of the Siouxland Chamber of Commerce. 

And now the main event…

21) Online Promotion- Do my job for just a little bit, and be featured on our blog.  That’s right, you can post a guest article on our blog or we can “tweet” about your business.  With the seal of the Siouxland Chamber on it, be a guest blogger!

22) Talk to Beth- If you’re a Chamber member or interested in becoming a Chamber member let Beth Trejo, Director of Investor Relations, help you.  She will set up a meeting with you and brainstorm various ideas on how she can help you and your company get the most out of your membership with the Chamber.

23) Ground Breaking, Ribbon Cuttings, & Open Houses- We’ve already mentioned what it can do for a new company.  If you are already a Chamber member, you can jump in and join new chamber memberships in welcoming into the community.  This builds instant business and personal relationships that will last for a life time.

24) Let’s help build the Business- Starting a new business can be hard, especially if you are all by yourself.  Whether its an entrepenuership or a partnership feel free to to get advice from us.  Let us help you with advice, ideas and just understanding the community and where your product can fit in.

25) Reputation Notification- Statistics provided by The Schapiro Group show that being a member of the Chamber is an effective way to show consumers that your business is of good practice, involved in the community and cares about customers.

26) Know what we Know- Every Chamber of Commerce is suppose to be ahead of the curve in their economy.  We take pride in it and we want you to know what we know.  Picture us as a warehouse full of information on current business trends and public policies.

27) Forget the Myth, Embrace the fact-  It is a common myth amongst people in the community that a Chamber of Commerce is a govt. agency, funded by the city government.  The fact is that we lobby for you and we are businessmen and women alike aimed for your success.  It’s the best of both worlds because we have influence in both sectors, but geared toward your success.

28) Job Creation-  We want you to succeed, because we want Siouxland to succeed.  Come in and let’s get your business started not just for you or for us, but for the community.  It’s a fact, that one of our main goals is JOB CREATION.

29)  Bridge Connections-  We don’t have to do it for you, you can get involved as well.  Support Pro-Business legislation and meet your legislative officials.  Being a member of the Chamber can open lots of doors in the political arena for the community and local business.

30)  Community Involvement-  The Chamber has a number of things they get involved outside of for profit business, like the Boundless Playground at Leif Erikson Park.  You can easily be involved and make donations towards building the community as a Chamber member.

Well, that’s all for now Siouxland.  It’s close to being the weekend.  Have a fabulous today and until next time…tell a foe or tell a friend about the great things happening in Siouxland!
