Representing Member Businesses of Greene County & the Great Northern Catskills Region
|
Hi Members & Friends! We were already excited about our Business After Hours Holiday Party and then we saw THAT TREE! Who needs Rockefeller Center when Greene County shines so bright. Please join us to celebrate our business community and the holiday season. There will be LIVE MUSIC, FOOD STATIONS, and SPECIALTY BEVERAGES. We'll have a 50/50 raffle - and someone will win the gigantic wagon of cheer! If you haven't purchased a raffle ticket yet, hurry! The tickets are almost sold out. We greatly appreciate our generous host, SAWYER CHEVROLET. We'd like to give them an accurate headcount for the event, so if you haven't already - PLEASE RSVP. |
THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION! Okay, let's talk about the never-ending list of networking opportunities at the Greene County Chamber of Commerce - it's a primary reason many people join. Generating new relationships with local business owners is definitely a path to business growth. But what if walking into a room filled with strangers is your least favorite thing to do? Relax. First of all - networking is not the only way the Chamber supports our members. Regardless of whether you attend a single chamber event, we are still tirelessly advocating for you and your business, referring customers to you, making introductions via email, and providing numerous resources. So, you don't have to attend events to partake in the benefits of chamber membership, but if you do, the return on investment will be even richer! Strategy Is Key Here are some helpful tips for those of us who want to network but don't feel like social butterflies: - Think about what your business goals are, the reason you joined the Chamber in the first place.
- Identify the Chamber Events that will help you reach those goals. Put them on your calendar.
- Learn more about those events by contacting the Chamber team. As the dates approach, we'll know who's coming. Feel free to call us and ask! (Yes, you can email us if the phone's not your thing.) We're here for you!
- Reach out to a member you are hoping to meet - simply send an email, "Will you be at the Business After Hours Event this month? I'd love to meet you and talk about (whatever want to talk about)". Who knows, you may develop a connection before the event.
- Use social media as a tool to connect. Follow and engage with the members you are interested in getting to know. Send an instant message prior to the event, "Hoping to meet you at Network Before Nine".
- When you arrive at the event, find a Chamber team member. We will happily work the room with you and make personal introductions.
- Be realistic about each networking event and what you want to accomplish. Don't make it your job to meet everyone! Focus on connecting with just 2 or 3 people. If you do that every month, imagine how your professional network will grow in just one year.
- Finally, be yourself. You'll find your people in the Chamber community, and you might actually have fun.

Special Announcement about the 2023 Annual Chamber Directory The Greene County Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce MetroMedia, Inc will be publishing our annual directory. This digital + print communication is scheduled to launch in late February 2023. This added benefit of the digital with the print will be a new way to gain exposure for our Member businesses and our local communities. The publication will include videos about our wonderful community, chamber profile, featured articles and our membership directory, which will organize chamber members by alphabetical order and by business category. Digital allows a greater reach and permits us to utilize the latest technologies for a searchable, interactive, mobile-friendly publication. The Guide will be published on the chamber website, sent via email, and shared by social media, which will allow your advertising to be directly linked to your company’s website. The Directory will strive to increase our members’ spheres of influence, by being distributed to individuals and organizations outside of our Chamber membership. We encourage our Chamber members to take advantage of the added benefits that this new publication has to offer. Members can also take advantage of advertising space by contacting Chamber member Tyler Busby & DeDe Harmell from MetroMedia, Inc.They will be contacting Chamber members regarding advertising opportunities.
