WHY SHOULD YOU BE A CHAMBER MEMBER?
Members of the Southern Palmetto Regional Chamber of Commerce (SPRCC) enjoy a wide array of opportunities to enhance the profitability, productivity, and overall success of their organization. SPRCC provides a tailored suite of benefits for businesses in the CSRA region focused on Barnwell and Allendale Counties. With opportunities for networking at our events, programming to support new and existing businesses and targeted marketing to the region- it just makes good business sense to be a chamber member!
In a study conducted by The Schapiro Group, an Atlanta based strategic consulting firm, found consumer perceptions of Chamber Members to be positive in many ways: When consumers know that a small business is a member of the Chamber of Commerce, they are 49% more likely to think favorably of it and 80% more likely to purchase goods or services from the company in the future.
If a company shows that it is highly involved in its local chamber (e.g., is a chamber board member), consumers are 10% more likely to think that its products stack up better against its competition! When consumers know that a national restaurant franchise is a member of the chamber of commerce, they are 68% more likely to eat at the franchise in the next few months. When consumers know that an insurance company is a member of the chamber of commerce, they are 36% more likely to think favorably of the company.
This is the new Chamber Member Window Cling that all members get to put up in their window. It pays to show people you are a Chamber Member!
