A Message From Our President
|
It's February! We're starting to feel the weather changes, hear more birds chirping, and soon the buds will begin showing the new growth on the plants surrounding us.
The Spring changes that happen every year bring us hope, joy, and a renewed sense of nature. The businesses around you are enduring all kinds of changes, too. Changes in the laws regarding minimum wage, mandatory retirement plans, new housing requirements, and shortages in the labor force will affect our consumer experience.
Please help support your local businesses by dining out and shopping local whenever you can. And, if you have questions or suggestions about improving our business community, please let us know. Members of the Chamber, please take advantage of our marketing and advertising opportunities as part of your membership. Please see below for more details or email us at info@saratogachamber.org for more information.

Thank you,

Exclusive Marketing Opportunities for Our Members
|
Thank you for your Saratoga Chamber of Commerce (SCoC) membership. One of our chamber goals is to help members grow their businesses. How can we help do this? You can take advantage of an exclusive marketing opportunity included in your membership. We will inform and connect you with other members and the community by marketing your events and deals on our social media platforms, weekly email blasts, and the SCoC website.
Below are the guidelines to follow to make this efficient and easy.
-
Email your marketing submissions to info@saratogachamber.org. Requests received by noon on Monday will be published in the next newsletter and immediately on our social media platforms.
- Include the following information:
- Event or deal title
- Who, What, When & Where in your email text description
- QR Code or link (if you have one)
- Images in JPG or PNG format. PDF files are not accepted. Please put text about the event in your email, not the picture.
Image dimensions must be as follows:
- Instagram posts: 1080 x 1080
- Facebook Event Posts: 1920 x 1005
- 8x11 images can be submitted but include the event description in the body of your email, not in the picture.
We can offer basic guidance if you need assistance. More advanced support may be available on a contract basis with our social media specialist.

We are excited to continue our Member Spotlight in 2022 to feature on our Facebook, Instagram, website, and LinkedIn pages, as well as our newsletter. All we need from you is a photo of you or your business, a brief description of your business, and for you to answer the question, "why did you join the chamber?"
We will then feature your business on our social media channels and tag you in our posts. You can see an example that Kristina did for Sleep and Brain here. Our goal is to promote your business and inspire others to join our chamber.
Ready to participate? Just email your photo and information to chamber member and project lead Kristina Rust at
