Members Helping Members program offers discounts on goods and services

One of the programs the Valpo Chamber offers you may have overlooked is Members Helping Members. For many years the chamber has encouraged members to offer other members discounts on goods and services. This program have been around for many years and gone through many different approaches, and recently it has transformed again.

Back in April, Members Helping Members went completely to email and the website. On the second Friday of each week, the chamber will be sending you a list of the current discounts for you and your employees (remember…everyone that works for you is eligible for these discounts, so pass them along).

When you read this blog, take a couple of minutes to look it over and see what is new.

You can find current offers at: http://www.valparaisochamber.org/services/members-helping-members.php

If you would like to offer your fellow Valpo Chamber members a discount it is easy to sign up. Just email me your offer and I will get it on the next email. Once you sign up to participate in the program, you won’t have to renew. If you decide you want to change your offer or remove your offer, you can simply email me once again. The Valpo Chamber has tried to make it as simple as possible to offer and receive these great discounts.

I hope you take advantage of these great offers! I have been able to use many of them including the free chips and queso at Chili’s....mmmmm….FREE!
