Business Year
nofsthe
es
A national survey commissioned
by the American Chamber of
Commerce Executives of 2,000
adults reveals that being active
in a local chamber of commerce
is an effective business strategy
because two-thirds of consumers believe that such companies
use good business practices, are
reputable, care about their customers, and are involved in the
community. If a company shows
that it is highly involved in its
local chamber (e.g., is a chamber
board member), consumers are
10 percent more likely to think
that its products stack up better
against its competition.

membership information!

e-mail (toneill@fayettevillencchamber.
org) or via the Chamber Website for the

• Business of the Year
• Athena Award (Outstanding service

the workforce)
• Realtor Cup (Outstanding service
for community involvement and
business development. Given to an

Major Impact on
Small Businesses
Small businesses represent the
largest segment of most local
chamber membership rolls, and
the study indicates that
chamber membership has consistent and powerful benefits for
small business members.
Nominations need to be submitted
immediately. Detailed information is
available on the Chamber Website or call
Tara at 484-4242.
If respondents know that a small
business is a member of its local
chamber, the business enjoys:
• a 49% increase in its consumer
favorability rating
• a 73% increase in consumer
awareness
• a 68% increase in its local
reputation
• an 80% increase in the likelihood that consumers will
patronize the business in the
future.
