Tips & Benefits from the
Lancaster Chamber of Commerce
 
One of the goals of the Chamber is to help grow and promote your business or organization. We do this in a number of ways. Each month we will highlight benefits we hope you will be able to take advantage of, simple, easy and hopefully helpful!

Did you know the Chamber hosts a radio show which airs every Saturday at 10:00am on AM 1340??? The show highlights three Lancaster Chamber of Commerce members each week.

We also film each segment and post it on YouTube for future viewing (or your marketing). We record the show on Thursday afternoons with each business having a 12 minute spotlight. It's a great way to let people know who you are what makes you special!  It's a benefit EVERY member should participate in. 

Call the Chamber today to book your Radio Show spot!
