“Being a member of the Chamber of Commerce has been a major asset to my real estate business. I have been a member of the Chamber and an Ambassador for the Chamber since I moved to Brookings in 1995. It’s been a great way to meet new people coming into the community and a great way to get my name in front of people!” Lorna Nohava |
“It wasn’t until I got involved with the Chamber that I made the community connections that have yielded great resources for me and my business. I love the opportunity to get information on current community issues and new business developments. The information provided is always a relevant and valuable tool in contributing to our business direction and growth. Being a Chamber member and director has not only created recognition for me and my company but also allows me to network with people in the city that are active in creating Brookings future.” Mary Jo Minor |
“The Brookings Chamber really does a great job of informing me about local issues that will affect my business and my employees. The Chamber has also been willing to take positions on local, state, and even federal issues critical to the business community. This has been very helpful to me in running my business, and makes it much easier for me to make a difference with our elected officials.” Jay Bender |
What's In It For ME?
Business Referrals Mean More Business The Chamber refers thousands of inquiries (by phone, e-mail, and walk-in) to its member businesses every month. As a member, you directly benefit from referrals not only by increased business exposure, but mostly by new business. You might also be surprised by the number of consumers who refer to the Chamber’s Buyer’s Guide & Directory as well as your Chamber membership decal as a sign that you are a Chamber member.
Connectivity Chamber members not only have a better connection with other businesses and professionals, but they also have a better connection with the community. Through the Chamber’s advocacy of its members, and through its networking opportunities, your circle of influence not only reaches direct consumers, but also other businesses and professionals that your current advertising strategy may not be reaching.
Exposure Exposure is natural when you become a member of the Brookings Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber's most valuable exposure tools are: Chamber Membership Directory, Ambassador visits, Ribbon-Cutting ceremonies, news releases in the Chamber Update, business listing on brookingssd.com and event sponsorships.
Timely Information and Business Advocacy You don’t have the time to research and respond to all the issues that affect your business. The Chamber represents you as it works with local and state governments on the issues that impact business. Through the Chamber Update and committee involvement, you’ll be alerted of issues and initiatives that deserve your attention so you won’t miss a chance to be heard and represented on the decisions that affect your quality of life and business.
