Another great benefit to being a Valpo Chamber member? Referrals!

Did you know that the Valpo Chamber office fields more than 1,000 phone calls each month? Many of those calls are individuals inquiring about a variety of services.

For instance, do we know someone who can clean their gutters, fix their broken furnace, or list their house? We also have people call to ask where they can go to pick pumpkins, have professional photos taken, eat a good meal, have furniture refinished, board their pet, and the list of inquiries goes on and on and on.

For every question we’re asked, we refer callers and visitors to Valpo Chamber members ONLY.

Several weeks ago, all members were mailed a verification form. One purpose of this form is to keep our database up-to-date so that we can make accurate referrals. The information included on our verification forms is also posted on our website, so anyone can get up-to-date information about our members. Referrals are just one of the countless benefits of being a member of the Valpo Chamber.
