Shop Member to Member in December!

As the holiday season quickly approaches, the Chamber is looking at ways to help our Members increase sales volume through the end of the year. Our Members are our most valuable asset and we want to support you and ask for your support of your fellow Chamber Members.

For the month of December, we will be promoting our Members' discounts, promotions, sales and specials through various Chamber communications with our “Member to Member in December” program, hoping to drive business to our Chamber Member businesses. If you would like to participate in this advertising opportunity, forward your holiday Member discounts to Ryan Foster at the Chamber by Friday, November 27th. We will publish all Member specials in jpeg ads (250 x 165 pixels) on our website and link to them directly from the homepage. If you are unable to send a jpeg, please forward your information to us and we will create one for you. Members’ offers will also appear in various other HTML communications throughout the month starting December 1st. Members are limited to one coupon offer for this program.

This advertising opportunity is free of charge to Chamber Members and those participating in this program will also receive a 15% discount on Chamber website advertising.

I would like to encourage you to view these Member discounts and support your fellow Chamber Member businesses in December and throughout the New Year. Our Members are the heart of the Chamber and we couldn’t do what we do without growing and prospering Member businesses.

Thank you for your membership!

Sincerely,

John Schmitt
President & CEO
