Marketing Your Business through the Hardin County Chamber of Commerce

Your Chamber @ Work Newsletter
The Monthly "Your Chamber @ Work" newsletter lists your firm upon joining the Chamber of Commerce, then offers free publicity to members announcing new products, services, promotions and advancements in the Chamber Members @ Work section. Paid advertising space is also available in the newsletter.

Referrals
The Chamber receives thousands of requests each year for recommendations on goods or services to be purchased in the Hardin County area. We refer only our Chamber members to these new-comers, visitors, and area residents by using our membership data base and our membership directory.

Sponsorships
High visibility and advertising value is offered to members who sponsor various Chamber events, such as the Angel Tree Program, Business Expo, Leadership Program, Distinguished Service Award Banquet, Golf Outing, Secretary's Luncheon, Working Women's Luncheon, and the Pickwick Information booth.

Online Directory
The Chamber's Web Site on the Internet includes a listing of our entire membership, so individuals "surfing the net" will find your firm's name on our page with lots of other interesting information. And, if you also have a Web Site, we will provide a direct link to your site from ours.

Ribbon Cutting and Grand Openings
Hardin County Chamber of Commerce members enjoy free advice and assistance from our Staff and Board Members in staging Grand Openings, Ribbon Cuttings, Groundbreakings, and other events.

Mailing List
The Chamber's mailing labels can give you direct access to a prime audience of business prospects. Labels are available at no cost to Chamber members, however non-members may purchase the list at a cost of $100.

Pickwick Inn Information Center
The Chamber stocks an information booth inside the main lobby of Pickwick Inn. Chamber members' brochures, business cards and magazines are displayed for visitors to the Inn and restaurant to "help themselves to". Only Chamber members info are offered for display.
