Membership Decals
Did you know consumers are 49% more likely to think favorably, and 80% more likely to purchase goods & services from a Chamber member?
There are benefits when a consumer knows a business is a local Chamber of Commerce member.
If consumers know that a small business is a member of its local Chamber, the business enjoys a whopping 49% increase in its consumer's favorability rating, a 73% increase in consumer awareness, a 68% increase in its local reputation, and an 80% increase in the likelihood that consumers will patronize that business in the future.
Many members of the community consider Chamber of Commerce membership to be a sign of a reputable, solid business. Being a member of the Chamber makes your business more desirable to customers. A Chamber membership can increase your profits, because customers view your business more favorably.
How can you take advantage of this benefit? Make sure your Chamber member decal is prominently displayed on your entry door or window. What is the membership decal? It's a no mess static cling decal for your store window or door.
If you'd like a Chamber decal for your business, or you have an outdated decal from a previous year that needs replacing, let us know at donna@goemanuel.org and we'll get you a new one.
Let your team, vendors, and customers know that you are a part of the Swainsboro-Emanuel County Chamber of Commerce!

Georgia Chamber SMART Plan
Small Businesses need an easier, more affordable way to offer healthcare to employees. An Anthem SMART plan can help.
WHO IS ELIGIBLE?
The plan is available to small business employers with at least two employees enrolled on their medical plan and no more than 50 eligible employees, domiciled in Georgia. Eligible employers must also be a member of the Georgia Chamber or a participating local chamber in good standing. By teaming up with Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield (Anthem), this plan allows smaller employers to join together to share in the overall claims risk. By being part of a larger, self-funded pool, employers have financial protection backed by Anthem.
