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.
