– Joseph Henning, CEO of the Aurora Regional Chamber of Commerce

Why Pay Your Dues?

Paying your Parksville Chamber of Commerce dues provides numerous benefits for both businesses and the community. By supporting the local economy, members gain access to networking opportunities, marketing tools, and business resources. Additionally, the Chamber advocates for policies that benefit the community, such as supporting tourism and economic growth. By investing in the Chamber, businesses can enhance their success and contribute to the overall prosperity of the community.

More Exposure for
Your Business

No one is going to know you exist if you don’t put yourself out there. People who are moving into the area or who are looking for something cool to check out in the community look to their chamber of commerce to provide suggestions. If you’re on their list, you’ll get free marketing as a result.

Networking Opportunities

You’re going to mix, mingle, and rub elbows with other members of the professional community at various events. This can lead to opportunities you never imagined and might even score you early access to expos and conventions. Who knows? Maybe you and one of these other business owners will be the next Larry Page and Sergey Brin (founders of Google).

Mailing List Access

Your local chamber of commerce likely has a directory with contact information for every business in the network. This list is available not just to members, but also non-members in the local community. It’s especially helpful if your business is B2B, and you want to know an exact contact for someone with buying power.

Grants & Funding

If you’re part of a chamber of commerce, you’ll have a community with your best interests at heart. They may even be able to help you find business grants and funding that you otherwise wouldn’t have known existed.

Getting Your
Voice Heard

United we stand. By being part of a chamber, you’re with other like-minded business owners who want to succeed. You can bring concerns to your local government like regulations, taxes, or costs that negatively impact you.

Freebies & Discounts

Overall, chambers of commerce can be a ton of fun. They host events and sometimes even offer you promotional gifts or epic raffle prizes. Not only that, but networking might score you some coupons or deals from nearby businesses, whether it’s a tasty restaurant or a carpet cleaning service.
