The best way to spread the word about your business is by making connections. Whether you're new to the local community or a veteran company that has been around for decades, your reputation grows as you engage in other influential entities within your community.

That's why so many businesses choose to join the Chamber of Commerce. The organization is made up of resources to help local businesses thrive.

From building your brand's presence to increasing sales, learn how you can use your membership to foster your company's growth.​

Gain Credibility

​A local Chamber of Commerce organization has a reputation for standing up for the local community and its economy. When your business is associated with our name, it gives the perception that you stand for these things, too. Involvement in a Chamber of Commerce shows your consumers that you are invested in your community.

As a result, consumers trust you more. This leads to more positive impressions of your business.

"I have only been a member of the Cary Chamber of Commerce for 5 months, but in that time I have seen a huge return on investment.  I have booked 5 projects as a direct result of the Chamber membership and have formed relationships with clients that will likely lead to repeat business.  The Chamber staff is super friendly and supportive.  I am very happy that I joined and my only regret is that I did not join sooner.”

Exposure

Gaining exposure is hard, especially if you're a new business. You have to find ways to permeate your brand into the community so consumers know who you are and what you offer.

With a Chamber of Commerce membership, you gain resources that make this much easier. If you browse our website, you'll note we house a digital directory.

Members are featured on these directories, which are used frequently by individuals and businesses within the area.

Google also takes this into account, this placement provides your business with a higher search ranking & credibility on Google searches.

"The Cary Chamber has been one of the most supportive and beneficial organizations we have been affiliated with here in Western Wake County. Their events and program offerings have enhanced our nonprofit professionally and continues to link us to other Cary-based businesses who are mission-driven. We are connected and stronger because of our membership with the Cary Chamber!”

Networking Opportunities

​Your membership in the Chamber provides unparalleled opportunities to connect with other business professionals. 

​Our Chamber offers recurring monthly meetings, as well as a year full of major events.  There is an array of events offered at different days and times of the week to provide multiple opportunities to fit your schedule.

"Great organization which is very connected and active in the Town of Cary. Work very hard to support the businesses in the area and to attract new employers to the market. They offer numerous opportunities to learn and network with other businesses, as well as associate with local officials for the betterment of Cary.”

Receive an Influential Voice on Large-Scale Issues

A Chamber of Commerce does more than serve as a marketing vehicle for local businesses. It has an important role in local government affairs as well.
​
We serve as a voice for the local business owners and industries. This includes addressing issues that may arise with new regulations, fees, taxes, costs, or assessments applicable to the businesses we serve.

When you join the Chamber, you become a part of that voice. Your role is relevant and your opinion becomes part of the many contributed voices that form the Chamber's views.

"I like the Cary Chamber because I get to connect with small businesses and larger companies. Having opened Contender Esports during the pandemic the Chamber exposed me to networking and other tools to help grow my business. I also participated in Leadership Cary and it was great getting to learn about the city and connect with people.”

Make New Business Contacts

​Take a moment to consider just how large your Chamber's directory is.

Now imagine having those contacts for your business. How advantageous would it be?

A Chamber of Commerce is a community within itself. We bring our members together to not only benefit the community but also to benefit each other. Through various events, you will meet, network, and connect with a wide array of influential professionals.

It's up to you to make the connection, of course, but the opportunities are aplenty. Many businesses grow their customer base and their network through Chamber sponsored or hosted events.

"I was looking for a way to connect to the community.  I wanted to meet people, share what my business has to offer, and connect with other business owners.  Joining the Chamber is a perfect way to do this!  The staff is friendly, supportive, and helpful.  And, the Chamber offers many events every month and throughout the year to support local businesses.  I highly recommend becoming a member of the Cary Chamber of Commerce."

Stay in the Loop of Local Business News

​Running a business is more than a full-time job. With so much to do, it can be difficult to keep up with what's going on outside your company's walls.

Chambers make it easier. Through regular newsletters, we update our members on various news and issues that are happening within the community, as well as spotlight featured or new businesses that may pique your interest.

It's a great way to stay connected, even when you're on-the-go.

Affordable & Transparent

Our pricing is designed to be the most affordable for each individual business (broken down to cost less than one business meal a month in most cases!). Our goal is to allow the opportunity for all businesses, big & small, to have the ability to enjoy the benefits of being a part of a Chamber & it's community. Our Chamber allows options for our members to pay for their membership annually, semi-annually, quarterly, or monthly. Membership cost is structured upon how many full-time employees you retain at your business (with the exception of non-profits), broken down below.
