Membership Benefits

Here are some of the benefits that make belonging to the Chamber a sound business investment:

Visibility/Credibility: Belonging to the Chamber shows that you are committed to your business and your community.  Gain visibility through the Chamber website and links, promotional publications, newsletter, and at Chamber programs.

A national study conducted by the strategic consulting firm The Schapiro Group reveals that membership in a local chamber of commerce can significantly boost a business's image among consumers, and other businesses. Consumers had positive perceptions of chamber members in a number of areas, including overall favorability, consumer awareness and reputation, and likelihood of future patronage. Consumers are 63% more likely to buy goods and services from a company that they believe is a member of the local chamber of commerce.

Marketing and Advertising Opportunities: The Chamber showcases its members through various marketing efforts – annual community guide, specialized brochures, community map, newsletters, event/program sponsorships, website listings and email blasts.

Promotional Opportunities: Chamber events such as the Business Expo, Annual Golf Outing, Sidewalk Sale and the Northfield Farmers Market.

Publicity for your business: Chamber membership gets your name before the public and business community.

Referrals: The Chamber constantly receives inquiries about local businesses and services; we only refer member businesses. Let us refer yours!

Business Connections: Take advantage of numerous opportunities to meet potential clients and gain exposure for your business by participating in networking events and on Chamber committees. Your participation on a committee gives your business exposure in the community. The more you participate the more exposure you get. That leads to more contacts and more business.

Business Resources: Community, village and legislative information, business seminars, certificate of origin documentation, demographics, area map.
