VISION

Why Sponsor

INCREASE BRAND AWARENESS

By sponsoring Chamber events, businesses can increase their visibility and promote their brand to a wider audience. Your company’s brand name and sponsorship recognition is included in various specialized publications including, but not limited to, the Chamber website, digital newsletters, social media pages, and in all collateral materials. This can help attract new customers and generate more business.

The Chamber’s digital reach includes 10,000 followers throughout social media platforms and over 5,700 email subscribers. In 2023, we had a total of 83 events with 9,028 attendees. Our membership includes over 1,200 area businesses, with 80% being small businesses.

ACCESS TO BUSINESS RELATIONSHIPS

Chamber events provide a unique atmosphere for renewing and strengthening relationships with new and existing clients and customers. If your company strives to have its name recognized with professionals, executives, managers, and other influential business decision makers, Chamber sponsorship is the answer.

INCREASE YOUR ROI

Being supportive of Chamber events elevates your prestige, credibility, and loyalty to the community. Chamber members appreciate doing business with other Chamber members and supporters.
