Ambassador Connection

Things I have gained from the Chamber, other than additional business!

Everyone knows how valuable the Chamber can be with helping you build your business but there are numerous other gains.  Being a new business, there is always a giant learning curve.  Did you know that if you want to tow a car from your parking lot you have to have a contract with a towing company?  Good thing I met Skyway Towing through the Chamber. 

The day before we opened our doors, I realized we did not have any lettering for our entrances stating the hours of our operations.  Good thing I met Fast Signs through the Chamber. 

To take the Chamber to another level I became an Ambassador.  Being an Ambassador has allowed me to increase the exposure of ACME to the business community as well as increase my networking contacts. 

My biggest challenge with opening ACME Bowling, Billiards & Events, was to overcome people stereotypes of what a bowling alley can be.  With the networking breakfasts, I was able to talk to many people about our upscale, non-smoking, hi-tech facility.  Before we even opened our doors, we had the community excited to see what we were all about, and that was largely due to our involvement with the Chamber.

I encourage you to take a moment and consider becoming an Ambassador with the Chamber. You get out of the Chamber only what you put in.
