We Love to Promote YOUR Business ---Just One More Way!!!

If you want to have your event, special, etc. promoted in addition to the weekly emails with a single email pushed out to our whole member base, we are offering this exciting new Chamber Benefit called “Pay to Promote” With this benefit, we will have available 2 email opportunities PER MONTH on a first come first serve basis. You will need to plan accordingly for any large events or specials because once the 2 emails have been filled for each month there will be no more available until the next month. The charge for this will be $100 for EACH additional email due by the end of the month when your email is sent.
