Chamber Chatter

Welcome to Friday, October 21st edition of Chamber Chatter! We are only 10 days away from Halloween. That means more than just trick~or~treating. Show the community you love the kids and the season but use this as a marketing opportunity as well. Put out candy or decorate your windows to draw customers in. Pass out more than just candy. Give the adults a coupon, a promotion page or a flyer of your upcoming events and activities.
