Dear Chamber Members,


Shop Grand Lake is about more than holiday shopping—it is an investment in the businesses that support our nonprofits, schools, and community year-round. This award-winning program keeps Grand Lake dollars at Grand Lake while recruiting new spending from outside our region. Every promotion also sells Grove and Grand Lake as a place to shop, dine, visit, and enjoy the entire holiday season.


Your investment helps power a far-reaching marketing campaign. In 2025, Shop Grand Lake generated 750,000 television impressions across four major markets, 641,978 social media views, and 10,614 website visits from the campaign. Nearly 48% of the social media audience was outside Grove, helping introduce our businesses to potential new customers. Participation begins at just $100—an investment in your visibility and our region’s success.


Our local businesses need us, and now is the time to join forces as Team Grand Lake. Registration and sponsorships are open through October 26. Get registered today and help us bring more shoppers, more spending, and more opportunity to Grove and Grand Lake. We are already in the game—let’s move forward together!


Have a great week,

~ Amanda
