Chamber launches Keep It In The County campaign
The Gordon County Chamber of Commerce announces twenty-nine sponsorships have been claimed for Keep It In The County 2024, showing an increase in support for the local spending campaign that remains popular as it enters its fifteenth year.
First conceived at the Chamber’s 2008 Planning Retreat and launched at a July 2009 Booster Breakfast sponsored by Starr-Mathews Agency, Keep It In The County is one of the Chamber’s signature programs. The goals of the program are to educate citizens about the importance of local spending and the economic impact of those choices, and to provide sponsors with significant marketing opportunities at substantial discounts.
“The Chamber is proud of its programs, especially those that serve individual members as well as the entire business community. Keep It In The County is able to provide sponsors with deeply discounted promotion packages and educate the public about the value and impact of their decisions to shop locally,” said Kathy Johnson, President & CEO of the Gordon County Chamber of Commerce. “This year is a record-breaker, with more sponsors in place than ever. We think the campaign’s successful longevity makes it clear that members recognize the value provided and speaks for their plans to market themselves aggressively in this challenging new business climate.”
