New Bedford Area Chamber of Commerce New Member Campaign Drive September 13-14

I always tell business owners in the Greater New Bedford area that there are four investments that provide the biggest return: advertise with NewBedfordGuide.com, join Downtown New Bedford Inc. ($100/year), join AHA! ($100/year) and become a New Bedford Area Chamber of Commerce member ($295 or more). Combined, the last three cost around $500 and are a great way to get promoted by three fabulous non-profits year round. If your business is not downtown, you may not benefit as much with a Downtown New Bedford Inc. or AHA! membership, but at $100 it is still cheap. Everyone can benefit from NewBedfordGuide.com advertising or a Chamber membership.

NewBedfordGuide.com is proud to be one of the featured incentives to join the Chamber this year during their membership drive. Join the New Bedford Area Chamber of Commerce between September 13th & 14th and receive $5,700+ in benefits to include a business shout-out on New Bedford Guide’s Facebook page to 34,000+ followers. Other incentives include marketing packages for the The Real Estate Book, Cox Media, WJFD Radio and 15 other items. Here’s the list of incentives this year:
