The Real Chamber Membership Value! A study by the Atlanta-based market research group The Schapiro Group shows that membership in your local chamber of commerce provides tremendous benefit to your business and the perception of your business to customers. Everything from increasing consumer favorability to the likelihood of purchasing from your business again. See the study here!
	A Calendar for the Community Recently, the Branch County Tourism Bureau, Chamber of Commerce, Coldwater Downtown Business Association, Coldwater Downtown Development Authority, and Tibbits created a Community Calendar for everyone to use! The calendar utilizes the Google Calendar software, and should make it easier for residents and visitors alike to see what Branch County has to offer. Anyone can request an event be posted to the calendar, providing it falls under the paremeters of the event guidelines. Find the guidelines and submission form here. Check out the calendar here!
