Adrian Area Chamber Marketing Benefits

The Adrian Area Chamber of Commerce offers its members a wide variety of marketing opportunities.  Some are networking, others are forms of advertising. 

Networking offers the opportunity to mingle with and get to know other local business people.  From the business point of view, the more people you know and the more relationships you form, the better chance you have of doing business.  Customers like to do business with people they know.  Potential business, of course, isn’t the only benefit of networking.  I’ve found that AACC members are a really nice group of people, very enjoyable to be around and really worth getting to know.  As Ann says “The Adrian Area Chamber of Commerce is a living, breathing social network”.

 With AACC, the potential for member networking occurs almost weekly.  There are shared interest groups in technology and marketing.  Chamber Ambassadors actively promote the Chamber and get to know members through a variety of activities.  Monthly breakfast meetings are a great way to get acquainted with other Chamber members.  The Chamber offers learning opportunities, expos, golf outings, Business After Hours and more.

AACC also has a variety of advertising opportunities available for Chamber members.  On the Chamber website, members receive their own business page and a link to their business website.  The Chamber will do email blast and offers Chamber email newsletter advertising.  The Chamber membership mailing list is available to members on request.  Members are also listed by name and category in the Chamber directory.  Members may also sponsor various Chamber events and offer literature at the Chamber Information Center.  There are also some group advertising opportunities through the year.  This is only a partial list. 

For more details on any of these networking, marketing and advertising opportunities, contact the Chamber office at 517-265-2320.
