The Real Value of Chamber Membership: 
The benefits of Chamber membership are measurable. A study commissioned by the American Chamber of Commerce Executives found that Chamber membership is critical; important in economic up-times and essential in economic down-times. The study showed that if people are told that a particular business is a Chamber member, they think more favorably about a company’s products, services and reputation:

  • Consumers are 44% more likely to rate it favorably
  • Awareness of the business increases by 51%
  • Companies have a 57% better local reputation
  • Customers are 63% more likely to want to purchase goods or services from the company

You can read "Just the Facts" about the ACCE study, or download the entire study, "The Real Value of Joining a Local Chamber of Commerce."
