Welcome to Germantown

Market Your Business to New Residents Through the Chamber

Starting quarterly this year, the Germantown Chamber will be sending out a welcome mailing to all new Germantown Residents with Village information and events, encouraging them to come visit the Chamber for their free welcome bag and to see the resources we offer.

All Chamber members are welcome to contribute items to the bag which can include marketing items, coupons, giveaways and anything else to give New Residents more information about your business and to ensure they engage with you right away!

Based on the new mover numbers from 2024, for the year 2025, we are estimating we need about 200 items. Your business can provide a full year's worth of items OR we can update you on the quarterly amount we need, and you can provide them at that time to be in better tune with your current marketing initiatives.

Quarterly deadlines for the next year for items are: July 1, October 1, January 1
