A recent survey by the Atlanta based Shapiro group shows that membership in a local chamber of commerce can significantly boost a business' image among both consumers and other businesses.

According to the study, positive perceptions of chamber members were found in a number of areas, including overall favorability, consumer awareness and reputation, and likelihood of future patronage.

The study shows that when respondents were told that a particular small business was a member of its local chamber, they were 44% more likely to rate it favorably than study respondents who were not told of the chamber affiliation. It also shows that consumers are 63% (and businesses 59%) more likely to buy goods and services in the future from a company that they believe is a member of the local chamber of commerce.

“We discovered that informing someone about a company’s chamber membership opens the door to substantial increases in positive perceptions of that business,” said Alex Trouteaud, Ph. D., senior strategist for The Shapiro Group. “There clearly is a feeling by our respondents that chamber membership is synonymous with quality and desirability.”

Take advantage of this positive perception today and add your membership badge to your website!
