The Chamber’s E-Newsletter, distributed every Friday has taken off by leaps and bounds. Between our
ever growing electronic contact list and shares from Chamber Members, the E-Newsletter is distributed to
approximately 5,000 people each week.
There is no cost to include information, flyers, sales and specials in the E-Newsletter. We just need to
receive your information by Wednesdays at noon. Please send your information to
[email protected]
Many other Chamber Members have taken advantage of this cost effective marketing tool and reported
terrific feedback. The E-Newsletter is great for announcing sales, specials and events. You can include
information weekly!
The E-Newsletter is just another free service included in your Chamber Membership.
