WHY SHOULD YOU JOIN THE CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE?
YOU MAKE MONEY HERE
This community is providing you a living. No one is required to do
business with you; they do so voluntarily. Similarly, you should
join the chamber voluntarily, so that you can help the community
that has already helped you. even if you are "just a branch
office" of a corporation, the fact that the company does have
an office in the area means that this community is a good place to
do business. Corporations should participate in EVERY community
where they operate and profit. The support shown with Chamber
membership demonstrates your concern for the community and helps
assure a growing economic base from which your company will continue
to profit.
YOU WANT TO MAKE MORE MONEY

By being a chamber member investor, you help the chamber succeed in
helping your market grow. You strengthen the chamber's efforts to
make the conditions in this market good for your business. This
helps your community become more prosperous, which means your
customers have more money to spend with you, and there are more
customers for you to sell to.
