Statistical facts that are quite significant

Why should any business - Small, Medium & Large - organisations, corporates, etc be associated with their local business chamber?

When consumers know that a Small Business is a member of the local chamber of commerce, they are 44% more likely to think favourably of it and 63% more likely to purchase goods or services from the company in the future.

If a company shows that it is highly involved in its local chamber (e.g., is visible at functions, sponsor/attend business linkage events, send out newsletters, utilize the face book page, etc), consumers are 15% more likely to think that its products stack up better than its competition
