As someone who wears many hats and handles most of our organization’s marketing efforts without formal marketing training, I’ve found the Chamber’s Marketing Matters series to be extremely valuable.
I’ve attended sessions such as TikTok Tactics: Create, Captivate & Go Viral! and Design Like a Pro: Crafting Eye-Catching Flyers & Ads, and both have provided practical ideas and tools I immediately put to use. The Chamber team shares helpful advice, hands-on activities, and real-world strategies that make marketing feel more approachable and effective.
One of the biggest benefits is connecting with other local businesses and organizations. It’s a great opportunity to exchange ideas, learn from others facing similar challenges, and discover new resources and perspectives that can be applied within our own organization.
I leave each session with a new tip, trick, or strategy for engaging our audience and strengthening our outreach. The sessions are informative, practical, and fun, making professional development enjoyable and immediately applicable in real-world situations.
We appreciate the Chamber’s investment in helping local businesses and nonprofits grow and stay relevant, and I would encourage others to take advantage of this opportunity whenever possible.
