Dear Greenwood-Leflore County business owners:
There’s never been a better and more beneficial time for your business to be a member of the Greenwood-Leflore County Chamber of Commerce!
Now, more than ever, we are offering more exposure, services, programs and benefits. I can’t image why any business would not consider being a member of the local Chamber of Commerce. It just makes good business sense.
Here’s a list of a few of our newest benefits:
• Discounts on online office supply orders from Dawkins Office Supply. Who doesn’t need that?
• We have more workshops and seminars than ever before to help you improve your business and personal skills, including customer service and social media.
• UPS shipping discounts for your business.
• We’re working on expanding our lobby space so that our members can display their business cards, flyers and brochures to the many visitors we receive at our office each day.
• Shared daily posts from your business on our multiple social media pages.
• Enhanced online business directory listings, complete with connections to your social media outlets. If your business has a Facebook page, a YouTube channel, or an Instagram account, we can add that to your directory listing. Potential customers can connect to your social media instantly from our business directory.
These are just a few of the many services and benefits you can enjoy by being a chamber member. We didn’t even mention the use of our auditorium for meeting space, our bulk postage mail benefit and the many business resources that we offer exclusively to chamber members.
Our chamber works hard every single day to promote and support business. We are here for you. We are here for the community, as well, with the many events and activities we provide, including youth and adult leadership development programs, scholarship programs and healthy events such as 300 Oaks Road Race, the Viking Half Marathon & 5K and the Bikes, Blues & Bayous cycling event. And don’t forget the free community events such as the Stars and Stripes Festival and the Roy Martin Delta Band Festival.
But, mostly, we are here to support the many investors who have decided to be our partner. We want to see you succeed. Let us help you.
P.S. Our 300 Oaks registration is now open, so go ahead and make your plans to participate. You can visit that site at www.300oaks.com. And, our Stars and Stripes Festival is just weeks away on June 27. Make plans now to bring the family out to that free community event.
