As a member you have to be proactive, take part in the ribbon cuttings, Business after Hours, special events, etc. When you are at these special events you need to network; just going is not enough. If a person is shy they have to learn to overcome that shyness and they cannot just visit with their buddies as well as the people they know. Take the time to introduce yourself to new people. The more events that you attend, the more exposure you get and your business will increase. At every event I get one to two business cards from people that I do not know. I also get re-orders. It is about developing relationships, business relationships. I feel like, “out of sight/out of mind.” I have been part of the chamber for 12-14 years. In this time I have seen a 25%+ increase in my business. I have not made any cold calls in 10-12 years because of being an active Chamber member.

I eagerly renewed our membership the first of 2014 for the year. There have been numerous benefits to our membership, both personal benefits and benefits that have had a positive effect on our bottom line. The personal benefits can be counted on all of the friendships that evolved from my participation in the Chamber events. Every event has that ‘small town’ feel to it and the fellowship has always been warm and outgoing. Granted, there’s never enough time to take part in all the events that I would like to as this is a very active Chamber, but , I have received more of a return on the time invested here than I have in other Chambers. The business benefits are derived from the additional business that we have gained as a result of our membership. It seems that the Berthoud Chamber does truly actively support their own members. I have had opportunities to work with business people that I know I would not have been able to hook up with otherwise. All in all, I see a valued return on the investment in both time and money that has been made in the Berthoud Chamber and would encourage any small business to become a part of this dynamic organization. Bill Daley, LightSpeed Color Printing 2014 Berthoud Area Chamber of Commerce Membership Membership with the Berthoud Area Chamber of Commerce is a year-round investment in a variety of services and benefits to help you and your business thrive in Berthoud and in the surrounding Northern Colorado communities. The real reason to join The real value of joining a Chamber of Commerce is the positive perceptions of consumers about membership. A survey by The Schapiro Group found some great results for Chamber members. Here are a few key points to consider: • The results show that being active in a local Chamber of Commerce is a good strategy for businesses to use. • It’s an effective way to convey to consumers that the business uses good business practices. • Consumers believe that businesses that are involved in the community care about their customers and that the company is reputable. When consumers think more favorably of a company, because the company is a member of its local Chamber of Commerce, it is because they infer that the company is trustworthy, connected to the community, listens to its customers, is successful and is a leader in the business community.
