- Business After Hours and Receptions
Business After Hours is an effective and low-cost way to network with other businesses in a relaxed setting that builds
relationships and lays the ground for future contacts with customers, clients,
and suppliers. With access to the Chamber’s Newsletter and mailing list, your
business can reach more than 300 other area businesses and over 500 individuals.
You can invite as many others as you wish, and reach those target markets that
you just haven’t had the time to contact. Business After Hours is an extraordinarily low-cost way
to introduce a new product or service, launch a promotional event, or simply
say “thanks” to valued clients, customers, and suppliers. Our Chamber Staff will be happy to work with you to plan your event.
