Member Spotlight
"The Newmarket Chamber of Commerce has been very valuable in promoting our business. The monthly breakfast meetings provide an excellent opportunity for individual networking and the one-minute business description informs everyone of the benefits of doing business with us and the charities that we assist. The Home Show puts us in front of approximately 5000 people and we give out coupons and chat with approximately 2000 of them. We find the Newmarket Chamber of Commerce the best promotional tool available to us."

Networking Tip
Ask for a delegate list prior to the event. This will allow you to research the kind of contacts who will be attending, and you will know quickly who you wish to meet. It will also give you the chance to identify businesses with whom you might be able to work with to gain future referrals.
