How to Get and Use Powerful Testimonials

If you want to grow your chamber membership and enhance your community’s trust, you can’t overlook the power of testimonials. Word-of-mouth marketing is believable and prompts conversions in a way no other marketing can come close to. Testimonials are a form of social proof that speaks volumes, especially when they come from trusted community voices. […]

How to Get a Great Headshot on Any Budget

If your professional headshot is more than a couple of years old—or, as one chamber colleague recently joked, “from high school”—it’s time for a refresh. Your headshot is often your first impression.

Digital relevance isn’t optional—it’s essential. The good news? You don’t need to become a coder or digital marketing wizard overnight to lead effectively in this space. You just […]

Digital Advocacy in a Distracted World
