CHAMBER KICKS OFF MEMBERSHIP DRIVE
The week of August 6th the Greater East Aurora Chamber of Commerce will kick off a membership drive to encourage local business owners to join the Chamber. The Chamber has many offerings that can help businesses grow.
Businesses who join by Friday, August 17th will receive 15 months of membership for the cost of 12. This special incentive will insure membership from September 1, 2018 through November 30, 2019.
During the drive Chamber members and staff will proactively reach out to new businesses and those that may have been involved with the Chamber in the past to introduce and remind them of the many benefits the Chamber offers. There are the direct benefits such as networking, referrals, and business after hours events that members use to actively gain new customers and there are the less tangible benefits such as tourism promotion and workforce development that the Chamber and its members are actively involved in.
A recent survey of members found that a large percentage of respondents highly value and utilize the Chamber’s membership directory.
“Even in this digital age we have found that many members and consumers still like to use the membership directory to find other businesses. All our members are listed in this directory for no additional cost,” stated Gary Grote, Executive Director of the Chamber.
In addition to these and many other membership opportunities to take advantage of, businesses will also be supporting an organization that has played a significant role in the development of the Greater East Aurora community we enjoy today.
Leslie Stewart, Au.D. of Aurora Audiology and current Chair of the Chamber’s Board of Directors added, “We are very excited to launch this drive and welcome new members into our group. The Chamber has been responsible for so many great things in our community over the years and we look forward to having other businesses join in and reap the benefits.”
Current Chamber members can also benefit from this membership drive by referring a business to join and receiving a 20% discount on their membership renewal.
