BUSINESS REFERRALS

One major challenge for most small businesses is to continually grow and expand the business. Some growth comes from additional sales from existing accounts, but this is often limited. When building your business new contacts often can materialize into new clients or customers. Two important factors considered by new clients are commonality and trust. By being a member of the Bracebridge Chamber these two factors are already in place. The Chamber creates opportunities for referrals, and fosters linkages between businesses to help build synergies that will propel the business forward. Additionally, the Chamber office is always receiving phone calls and other inquiries looking for specific services and/or information about businesses in Bracebridge. The Chamber always refers Chamber members.
