Users Guide

How to guarantee your satisfaction!

If you’re a "new user" of Chamber services, then here’s a Guide to get full satisfaction from your Chamber membership. Membership offers many valuable benefits. But, much like a health club, to get maximum results it requires at least some level of participation on your part.

Here are 5 easy steps to help you get the most from your Chamber experience:

1. Bookmark this Web Site NOW! Then, visit OFTEN! You’ll find no easier way to identify new prospects, find new suppliers, get up-to-date legislative information, check out and register for chamber events, increase your advertising opportunities, or get business and community information that will help your business succeed.
2. Think Chamber FIRST! Before you buy that new widget, select a restaurant, or call for help to fix your whatsit, search the Chamber Online Directory first. Here you’ll find credible, successful firms with whom you can build solid relationships. You already have something in common: your Chamber membership shows you care enough about your business and building a great environment in which to run it, to have joined an organization totally dedicated to those objectives. Think Chamber. Refer Chamber. Buy Chamber.
3. Ask for help! We’re only an email or phone call away. Don’t wait and wonder – ASK!
4. Got a Problem with your membership? Got an idea for how we can do something better? The information flow has multiple channels here. You can call or email any staff member and we’ll be glad to address your concerns. And, there are twenty-four directors of the organization, all volunteers, who are willing and waiting to hear from you too. Their email addresses are only a click away. It’s their chamber, just like its yours, and your input, positive or negative, helps us keep improving the product!
5. Get Involved! Any level of involvement brings results. And it’s not that hard to do. This web site even makes it involvement possible for those members who spend 24 hrs. a day at their computer monitors. The information you need is at your fingertips. Hyperlink to another partner site if you need more. Even set up an email reminder to yourself for an upcoming event. Then, you’ll know when you miss it! L

"But I just don’t have the TIME," you say. OK, we’ll make it REAL easy for you. Even if you NEVER join a committee or attend an event, just by joining:

• You are listed on the ONLY comprehensive Online Directory of Fremont Businesses. Your customers can find you (not your non-member competitors) with a smart search function; then, they can find their way to your business with one-click, courtesy of Map Quest online mapping service.
• You are listed in the ONLY Business Directory and Community Guide published in Fremont. A full color visitors and attractions guide is combined with the Chamber listing of all member businesses – listed alphabetically, categorically and including a Who’s Who by member firm.
• You are among the select list of businesses to which we refer all telephone and walk-in inquiries, day in and out, at the Chamber offices. We refer Members only!
• You have the satisfaction of knowing that your membership, in total with nearly 1,200 other businesses, creates a strong united organization working daily on behalf of business; lobbying for business-friendly policies and legislation, collaborating with educators to build a stronger workforce, and seeking solutions to regional and community issues that could hurt your business.

So go ahead and enjoy using your Chamber membership – in person, or electronically, it’s meant to be a satisfying experience!
