Apparently, yesterday was National Mascot Day! If your business had a mascot what would it be? We had a little fun with AI and created this for the Chamber. Sophie and Cheryl...the Chamber Chicks!

Not every Chamber member is part of tourism. In fact, most aren't. We want to highlight some of the members that help shape the community.

This week, we're highlighting our Cleaning Services Chamber members.

Comment below and share a positive experience you've had with one of the cleaning services in this graphic, and feel free to tag a cleaning service you think should join the Chamber.

If your business is hard to find online, you are losing customers.

Plain and simple.

That is why the Chamber is bringing in Robin C. Stern, nationally known as “Your Google Guru,” for a FREE Grow with Google workshop that could completely change the way your business shows up online.

This is not theory.

This is practical, real-world marketing that helps businesses:
• Show up on Google Maps
• Rank higher in searches
• Get more reviews
• Reach tourists before they arrive
• Turn online searches into actual customers
And the best part?
Most of it costs little to nothing.

Robin has spent decades helping businesses grow online, and people pay serious money for this kind of expertise. He is bringing it here, in person, for our business community.

If you own a business and want more visibility, more traffic, and more customers, you need to be in this room.
Seats are limited.

There will also be networking afterward at 3 PM at Lookout Brewing for anyone who wants to connect and continue the conversation.

Robin may also host additional small meetups while he is in town, so stay tuned.
