EXPAND YOUR NETWORK

Meet and network with Chamber members and community leaders at First Friday Cof-

fees, monthly luncheons, and socials. All you have to do is get involved!

GAIN REFERRALS

We made over 500 phone referrals in 2014 pointing them

in the direction of our members! Add to that the traffic

from our website, about 1,300 visitors a month, and you

can begin to see how becoming a Chamber member can

raise your business’ profile.

PROMOTE YOUR BUSINESS

Members have the opportunity to advertise in our newsletters, brochures, and other

printed materials. Members also receive a free listing in our annual report to the commu-

nity, and our biannual publication of our Maryville Viewbook!

HEIGHTEN YOUR VISIBILITY

We offer different ways for you and your business to gain

exposure such as ribbon cuttings, open houses, sponsor-

ship opportunities and many more. Of course, being in-

volved in activities will heighten your visibility even more!

KEEP INFORMED

We strive to keep our members informed on what is happening in the community. We

maintain a complete list of community events that can be found on our website. Chamber

Alert emails and faxes keep members informed of any possible fraudulent activities.

HAVE A LEGISLATIVE VOICE

We are the “Voice of Maryville Area Business” at

City Hall, the State Capitol or wherever we are

needed to support business, community and qual-

ity of life.

GIVE BACK TO YOUR COMMUNITY

Through your chamber membership you gain

insight on business issues. By being active in local

projects you are viewed as going the “extra mile”

will thank you for your efforts.

Chamber membership tells your customers that you are a

reputable company that actively participates in the local

business community.
