If you receive a call from someone stating they are selling advertising for the Chamber you need to know the following:
The Chamber is currently selling ads in our annual Membership Directory and Relocation Guide. The only people who will contact you regarding purchase of advertising are myself, Fay or Nita. This project benefits our members and the community.
A company named Profile Display (PD) is currently selling advertising space in the wooden display unit in the Chamber office. Due to a multi-year contract with PD we cannot ask them not to contact you.
Yesterday I received word from one of our members that the company is stating they are the Chamber when they call. This is not true and I am contacting them to cease identifying themselves this way.
Also, on numerous occasions in the past they have incorrectly stated the number of people coming into the Chamber office annually. I have made many attempts to correct this but each year it resurfaces as a problem. In the event they are still giving the incorrect number I wish to give the correct one. Approximately 2,000 people come through our office yearly - not 10,000.
The contract will expire in approximately 2 years so this should not be an issue in the long run.
