| Benefits of Membership
Chamber of Commerce membership is a powerful tool that you can use to promote and expand your business, form valuable contacts, gain information and make a significant impact on the community.
1. Make new business contacts. As a member of the Yarmouth Chamber of Commerce, you are linked with over 200 other local business members. By attending Chamber events you can take advantage of a great opportunity to meet potential customers, vendors and expand your client base. Network with other local business leaders at our "Yarmouth P.M." Business After Hours. Mix fun and “recreational networking” at the Annual Chamber of Commerce Golf Classic. The Chamber's Annual Meeting in November offers an overview of the Chamber’s recent accomplishments and goals for the coming year. The Boast and Toast Holiday Banquet is when Chamber members gather to recognize business and volunteer leaders and the presentation of the President's Award.
2. Market your products and services. Spread the word about your products and services. Sponsor an After Hours and invite fellow Chamber members to visit your business. Members can display business and promotional brochures in the Chamber of Commerce Office. Advertise in the Chamber Newsletter. Get new business from referrals made by Chamber Staff to hundreds of people inquiring about particular products or services in our area.
3. Interact with other organizations in our community. Invite a student to job shadow at your business through the High School Independent Studay Program in June of each year. Participate in our Spirit of Excellence Awards program that recognizes non-managerial employees from local businesses.
4. Invest in the local economy. Your investment in the Chamber helps us market Yarmouth and promote our superior quality of life.When the Chamber assists companies and individuals considering relocation here, it means more business for you. When you shop locally, you are supporting the growth and prosperity of your community and your business.
5. Increase your access to information. Attend our bi-monthly breakfast meetings that feature speakers addressing issues of significance to our membership. Stay up to date on important business, political and social issues through the Chamber Newsletter.
6. Heighten your company’s visibility. Your investment in the Chamber gives your business credibility, visibility and marketability. Show your support for positive growth and development in Yarmouth by displaying your Membership Decal at your place of business. Contact fellow members easily through the purchase of Mailing Labels. New Members are welcomed in the Chamber Newsletter and at a quarterly New Member luncheon. Clam Festival sponsorship is not only a great investment in the community, it's a valuable tool to reach thousands of people who visit our town each July.
7. Gain a voice in government. The Chamber speaks on behalf of business. The Chamber has a representative on area committees such as the Economic Development Advisory Committee and Gateways Committee that address issues of importance to the business community.
8. Get Involved. There’s nothing more rewarding than volunteering your time to make Yarmouth a better place to live and do business. Your involvement in a Chamber task force, committee or project gives you and your business exposure in the community, and it provides the Chamber with skilled individuals to help sustain and improve the quality of life that you, your family and your employees enjoy.
