Membership in your local chamber is the best way to ensure that you’re aware of the most important community issues and ever-changing legal landscape. Your chamber is your advocate.
Not only do you benefit from knowledge, but research suggests that people are more likely to do business with companies that are members of their local chamber of commerce. When locals know that your business is a member of their local chamber, they know that your business cares about the community and invested in it. People will be more likely to think favorably of your business and will be more likely to purchase goods or services from you in the future.
If you’re still on the fence about joining your local chamber of commerce, consider the following:
- "When consumers know that a small business is a member of the chamber of commerce, they are 49% more likely to think favorably of it and 80% more likely to purchase goods or services from the company in the future." - ACCE
- "If a company shows that it is highly involved in its local chamber (e.g., is a chamber board member), consumers are 10% more likely to think that its products stack up better against its competition." - ACCE
- "When consumers know that an insurance company is a member of the chamber of commerce, they are 36% more likely to think favorably of the company." - ACCE
- When a consumer thinks that a company’s products stack up better against the competition because the company is highly involved in its local chamber of commerce, it is because he or she infers that the company is trustworthy, involved in the community and is an industry leader.
- Businesses that are chamber members enjoy a 73% increase in consumer awareness.
