Letter from the President, Michael Deluise






Thanks to your participation the Melville Chamber of Commerce is quickly becoming one of the most effective business support organizations on Long Island.  Whether you are an entrepreneur managing your own small business or the CEO of an international Corporation your involvement helps us strengthen the community we live, relax, shop and work in. We appreciate your support and dedicate our efforts to providing you with all you expect from your Chamber and more.
 
Wednesday, October 20, 2010 the Melville Chamber of Commerce will proudly present our Third Annual Business Expo. This year we expect the Melville Marriott Atrium will be filled with a record number of visitors interested in doing business on Long Island with our members and neighbors.
 
Tables and sponsorships are going very fast. Last year's exhibitors are still talking about the overwhelming success they experienced in just a few hours participating in the Business Expo. Once again this wonderful opportunity to connect and run elbows with community and business leaders promises to be a most positive and enjoyable way to add revenue to your business.
 
For this year's Expo, Executive Director of the Chamber Ted Macaluso is offering something very special to first time and revisiting exhibitors. A Business Expo offers some unique opportunities to participants and some challenges. As well as you know your business, there are always a few special secrets that will help you promote and sell your services better. Ted has volunteered to meet you well before the date of the Expo to share some of those secrets to success.
 
The Melville Chamber of Commerce presents events such as the Business Expo to help our business community to grow and remain strong no matter what the economic climate may be. We strive to keep the cost to you and your business as low as possible. Sponsorship and fees for tables at the Expo are among the lowest of any trade show on Long Island or throughout the region. Although our costs are low our results are outstandingly high.
 
 At last year's Expo more than 1000 interested customers connected with exhibitors and sponsors. This is a business opportunity to good to be missed and the Chamber can offer you advice and support to make the day a most effective one for you.
 
Call Ted Macaluso today at 631-777-6260. He will show you how your participation in the Melville Chamber of Commerce Business Expo can be one of the most important events this year.
 


Best regards,


Michael Deluise
