No time for meetings? Try Zoom with us

A national survey conducted by the Schapiro Group illustrates the value of the Chamber:

49 percent increase in consumer favorability rating

73 percent increase in consumer awareness

68 percent increase in local reputation

80 percent increase in the likelihood that consumers would patronize the business

In our quest to build a stronger Chamber and business community, we have been “Zooming It” working with potential new members on a special campaign that ends Feb. 28. One of the challenges during the inconvenience of a pandemic

is that we still hear you have “no time for meetings!” We understand and are aware of the hard work it takes to make your business a success. However, the Chamber can help promote your business virtually and creatively through the many Zoom opportunities without you leaving your work or home office. It’s safe, convenient, and efficient.

All you need is the time to review our website that includes valuable information all geared toward support for you. You also need to get on our email lists to read the blasts reminding you of the latest and best information on current issues, initiatives and events.

In the meantime, here is what we do for you behind the scenes:

Introduce you to the vibrant Peer Groups including Manufacturing, Health Council, Insurance, Restaurant & Retail, Leads I, II and III, Small Business Council, Government Relations, WOW Advisory, and Webinars

List your business in the Annual Directory with a distribution of nearly 5000

Promote your business by posting your news, special offers and events on the website, Chamber Express, and forms of social media

Advocate for your business though many collaborations including the Council of Governments, Workforce Investment Board, Connecticut State Colleges & Universities

Watch for developments in Hartford and Washington through our outstanding lobbyist

Include you in business news through the Chamber’s Newsletter that is circulated through the website monthly

Post your special offers and events on Constant Contact and the Website

Provide free business counseling through SCORE

Feature your business in the Member-In-TheSpotlight that appears in the Newsletter and online

Initiate new programs that respond to your challenges

Make those important connections that you have been unable to reach

Please call me if you would like more information about the benefits you would derive from Chamber involvement, even behind the scenes.
