Marketing Opportunities

Chamber News
Send us your news and announcements and we will toot your horn in our monthly electronic newsletter Chamber NEWS. This weekly "Monday Morning Chamber News" e-newsletter is sent to an audience of Chamber and community members in the St. Croix Valley and is a member benefit to our members to share their news.

Ribbon cuttings are a great way to gain exposure for your business. To qualify for a ribbon cutting, the business must be a new member of the chamber, or a returning member after more than five years. Existing members qualify if they are in a new location, have had a major remodel, or are celebrating a milestone business anniversary. The Chamber reserves rights to make final decision on qualification. Check out one from at Stillwater Commons HERE, compliments of Pictures Over Stillwater.

Planning Your Event

Click HERE to complete the ribbon cutting request form. You must enter 2-3 date and time options. We need a minimum of 2 weeks to properly promote your event. Once the form is submitted, we will contact you to confirm a date. The event must take place Monday-Thursday during regular business hours and typically takes 30-40 minutes. The event must take place within 6 months of your join date or celebration. If your business is home based, the event can take place at a Chamber member location, contact us if you need ideas.

Membership Directory
Our annual activity guide includes a printed membership directory lists all active members in three ways: by business name, by primary business category, and by primary representative name. Also included are frequently used community resources, our cities, elected officials, and the previous year for the Chamber in review. This directory is mailed to all member businesses with the purpose of reminding us all to “keep it local” with easy access to the many great resources we have right here in the area!

Event Sponsorships
Sponsoring an educational seminar, connection program or one of our signature community events is one of the best ways to promote your business and build awareness of your organization. We put our sponsors front and center with our marketing strategy for all our activities and events. Investing in the Chamber and our community builds credibility, shows support, and is good for business.
