Hello Members and Friends,
With foot traffic in the neighborhoods down, and customers hesitant to spend their dollar, it's important to have a strong online presence. On October 13, come hear from Google executives about expanding and maximizing your online capabilities. RSVP for this event today!
Belive it or not the holidays are just around the corner. We are publishing a Holiday Gift Guide made up entirely of Chamber Member gift ideas and associated discounts. See below for the form and more information.
We are re-launching our website this fall and will have a more comprehensive (and down-loadable) member directory with a search function. If you are an existing member, please download this membership form and fax back to us at 212.924.0714 so that we have the most up-to-date information and proper search terms for your business.
If you'd like to include a discount, event, or piece of information in the newsletter, we want to know about it. To be included, email us by each Friday at noon, to be included in the following week's eblast. Logos and other artwork, should be in JPEG format and less than 2.5 MB.
Best,
The GVCCC |

Bags by Phyllis Leibowitz, 25% Discount
|
Chamber Member, Phyllis Leibowitz, designs beaded handbags right here in New York City, inspired by the effortless bohemian chic of 70's rock-star girlfriends she romanticized while growing up. Her bags are like wearing a piece of jewelry and are the perfect accent to a simple outfit. When her customers are unsure which bag to choose, she tells them to forget about what will go with their wardrobe and just choose a bag they love. It's always the right choice.
If you're feeling uninspired and don't have time to put a fabulous ensemble together, you can use one of Phyllis' bags to dress up a simple t-shirt and jeans, or a plain black dress, and voila! It's like putting on a fabulous necklace or scarf without having to think too much. Her bags are season-less, timeless, and never go out of style.
Check out Chamber Member Phyllis Leibowitz in this month's Lucky Magazine! Chamber members will receive 25% off on orders through October by mentioning this newsletter. Just email your order your order to phyllis@inch.com.
