The 49 Sign (Currently Under Construction)

Sign messages are in place from Sunday to Sunday. The sign cost will vary depending on the amount and time you choose to advertise.  The sign is booked on a first come, first served basis. Monthly advertisers will alternate spaces on the sign. We could only accommodate new members if a cancellation occurs. Please fax, email or call Meghan Buckmaster at the Chamber as soon as you have selected your advertising dates. You will have a difficult time finding less expensive advertising for a week!

Advantage Card Program

When joining the Chamber, members may signify whether they'd like to be a part of the 'Advantage Card Program.' We like to encourage our members to continue to do business and support other members. This is a small card given to members that offer other members discounts at their various places of business. For example, as a business, you may choose to offer other members a 10% discount.

Brochure and Business Card Display

All Chamber members have the opportunity to have their brochures and business cards displayed in the Chamber lobby. These promotional items are available to all walk-ins and people who request information on the area. If you are already a chamber member, bring in your promotional information and we will put it out for you.

This is a weekly publication in which member's events, sales and notifications are sent out to the entire membership. The newsletter is sent out around 12:00 pm every Friday. This free advertising is only available to members. If you have any questions or submissions feel free to email Meghan Buckmaster at mbuckmaster@chestertonchamber.org.  You can also sponsor the Chamber Express on a weekly or monthly basis.  The cost for one week of sponsorship is $40 and for a whole month is $150.
