Local Wisdom

I'll go first. I'm the opposite of a social butterfly, and not a joiner at all. My business comes from word-of-mouth referrals, and most outbound marketing campaigns are a waste of effort. But I joined the Chamber as soon as I moved here.

My membership does not generate new business, or even inquiries. Instead, I get to meet smarter people, and learn from other local businesses. In turn that helps me understand my customers' businesses, and how best to support them.

The benefit for my business comes from local wisdom.

Being a member of the Chamber helps you to spread the word about your business or community organization. Many people forget that community organizations can also join, and the Chester Library, which provides many outstanding programs for the public every year, frequently has a representative at Chamber meetings.

The Chamber is an excellent way to advertise community, “free to attend” programs. They produce a monthly activities listing that is circulated throughout the community and the Chamber staff is happy to add your event. As an example, the Friends of the Chester Library recently had a speaker from the DEC come to give a presentation on “Coyotes,” and over 100 individuals attended.

Why use Discussions?

The Discussion area is a great place for networking, getting advice, sharing an opinion or answering questions.

The site is populated with topics, within forums, that help visitors ask questions or make comments in an organized manner. Anyone can ask questions or share insights and views. Not only can you answer questions, but this area allows others to answer or comment.
