How the Highfields Chamber Can Help Grow Your Business

Joining the Chamber of Commerce can be a smart move for any business – the shop-front retailer, wholesaler, consulting or home business. Because businesses that get involved in a Chamber promote each other and work together, your own business can grow and prosper quickly. 

Here are just a few ways you can benefit by joining the Highfields Chamber of Commerce:

1. Increased revenue from new clients. If you are B2B, then there’s a pool of potential new clients just waiting for you. If you are a retailer, then increased awareness in the community of what you do or what you stock can only be a good thing. 

2. Promotional opportunities. Joining the Chamber gives you access to the Members Directory, Chambers social media channels, print media photo ops as just some ways to get your name out there. 

3. Connections to wider networks. Being part of the Chamber provides access to what is happening in other business networks. More awareness means more opportunity. You don’t have to go to everything but you will be kicking yourself if you are a florist and you missed out on a bridal wedding expo just because you weren’t networked in.

4. Mutual support. Working on your own can be lonely. Really lonely. Particularly when you are trying to get that new sale and nothing is working. You don’t have to suffer in silence. Being part of group of people who really understand what you going through can help greatly. Chances are that whatever issue that is keeping you up at night has already been solved by something else. Talking to others will make you realise that there are very new problems.  

5. New skills. Being part of the Chamber gives you a great opportunity to be part of the management committee. The Chamber is always looking for engaged and enthusiastic people to volunteer in any number of roles, from president, to secretary, treasurer, media officer, membership officer and others besides. And although being involved on the committee may take you away from your business, it may also help you to improve your public speaking, learn social media skills or close a sale (i.e. persuade a new member to join). And there is the satisfaction of helping your community.

6. Strength in numbers. There is nothing more frustrating that struggling on your own with a business problem against a big faceless organisation. Like trying to get better mobile or internet connection or resolving arbitrary and unjustified bank fees. But being part of a Chamber means that we can advocate on your behalf. We have the ear of councillors, state and federal officials and elected reps. Sure, sometimes we get nowhere, but often we can use the Chamber brand and our numbers to resolve your issue. 

So, what are you waiting for? You have very little to lose and so much to gain.
You want to grow your business and so do we.
Let’s work together and get this done!
