MEMBERSHIP BENEFITS

We often hear the question, “What does the Chamber of Commerce do for my business?” While it may not always be obvious, especially when you are focused on the day-to-day demands of running your business, here’s how we support you:

· We are here to welcome visitors at our Visitor Center seven days a week during the season and throughout the year. 

· Our website (Hammondsport.org) is a helpful resource for visitors, showcasing local businesses and providing up-to-date information, keeping events current throughout our Daily Events Calendar. Events can be added by emailing the Chamber office at info@hammondsport.org.

· Your brochures are prominently displayed on our unique barrel racks for all to see.

· We have a social media presence on Facebook and Instagram.

· We proudly sponsor seven local events each year, including our popular Music in the Park summer series that attracts thousands of visitors. In addition, we support community engagement by promoting “non-Chamber sponsored” events through our social media platforms and Website Events page.

· We are members of the Steuben County Conference and Visitors Bureau and the Finger Lakes Tourism Alliance, which maintain a strong social media presence on behalf of our Chamber. Our region is widely promoted across their platforms, giving the Keuka Lake area increased visibility. The new EXPLORE app is an added benefit for visitors on the go and continues to evolve as a valuable marketing tool for businesses throughout the county. 

· Members are encouraged to take advantage of the John Jensen Community Room for their functions. The space features air conditioning and heating, accommodates up to 75 people, and includes restrooms and a utility kitchen. Members enjoy a 50% discounted rental rate.

· Group benefit packages through Century Benefit Group, Inc. are offered to members.

· Our Business After Hours events are designed to promote networking among our members, with more member events planned in the coming months. 

Members hosting an After-Hours Networking event have the opportunity to showcase their business by decorating the Chamber’s front window with their promotional materials.

We encourage you to make the most of all that the Chamber of Commerce has to offer, and we welcome your suggestions on how we can support your business to thrive for years to come!
