You also can grow your business by advertising with us and sponsoring events. Membership brings credibility to your business You can increase positive perception among consumers and business owners when you’re identified as a member of a chamber of commerce. If you make it known that your product or service makes great client or employee gifts, you could wind up with a very nice flow of business from your fellow members. Promotion and publicity With membership, you can reach potential clients through member exclusive advertising and opportunities for business-to-business advertising and publicity. Create networking opportunities We have numerous committees and serving on one of them provides numerous networking opportunities as well as professional leadership development. You can build your business while promoting developments of keen interest to local businesses and the community at large. | Events and programs Events and programs provide members with great opportunities to get to know new people and expand their prospect base. Chamber events are innovative and fun ways to help members meet potential customers, clients and vendors. Make business contacts Business Yandina’s fundamental mission is to generate more business activity for the community. Business Yandina initiates more business-to-business commerce and more opportunities for networking and connecting local professionals than is available through most other local organizations. Access to members-only discounts and services Use various discount programs help save money. For example, a member-to member discount program where a Business Yandina member will receive $10 off any phone or accessory purchased from the other local business which is also a member. Acquire customer referrals Every day, Business Yandina receives calls from individuals and businesses looking for potential vendors, and members typically recommend other members. Receive chamber newsletters Newsletters provide new member information, interesting information about operating a local business, articles about the local community, a community calendar and details about up-and-coming Business Yandina events, among other things. But don't send more then 2-4 letters a week, it could be annoying. |
