From
the October 2007 Business Advocate, the monthly publication for the
New Jersey Chamber of Commerce:
A new study reveals that membership in a local chamber of commerce can
significantly boost a businesses image among consumers, as well as other
businesses. When respondents were told that a particular small business
was a member at it's local chamber, they were 44% more likely to rate it
favorably than study respondents who were not told of the chamber
affiliation. respondents were also 63% more likely to want to purchase
goods or services from a small business that is a chamber member. The NJ
Chamber of Commerce recommends that a small business should not only
join and participate, but also make sure consumers and other businesses
are aware of that chamber affiliation.
