MEMBER SERVICES

Take advantage of all the benefits and services that come with your Chamber Membership, including networking with fellow members, and increasing your visibility in the community through participation in Chamber events and groups.

• Ribbon Cuttings: Celebrate your new opening, expansion, relocation, or other business milestones with official Chamber of Commerce Ribbon Cutting ceremonies. (limited to one per year per business) The Chamber will invite our Ambassadors, Board of Directors, and membership to your event. You may invite anyone you would like to attend as well. We will take a photo that will appear in the Fort Stockton Pioneer and our website, letting the public know that your business is now open. Ribbon Cuttings are limited to once a year per business, but keep in mind they are a great way to let the public know about Grand Openings, Anniversaries, remodeling and other events you would like to spotlight. To set up a Ribbon Cutting, contact the Chamber. We will be glad to answer any questions and work with you to make the event a success.
• Chamber Website: www.fortstockton.org The Chamber website has a complete membership directory, including links to your website, or social media profiles. We are constantly striving to maintain a relevant hub of information. Some of the information available includes ribbon cuttings, Ambassador events, and board information, as well as the entire community calendar.
• Chamber Connection: A weekly e-newsletter highlighting community and member events. If you have an upcoming event you would like featured in the Chamber Connection, email the details to membership@fortstockton.org
• Business-to-Business referrals
• Business After Hours: These social events are a great way to keep people informed and up-to-date on the local business community of Fort Stockton. If you are starting a new business, expanding, or just want to remind people of the great products or services you provide, host a Business After Hours Event! As a Host, you set the date and location (usually at your place of business, but it can be held elsewhere if you wish), then decide how simple or elaborate you want it to be. The Host is responsible for any refreshments or entertainment, and for the cost of mailing invitations, and the Chamber will mail invitations to all members (200+) and promote the event in our newsletter, email updates, and on our website. The event is also boosted through our Chamber Ambassadors program, Leadership program, and Board of Directors. The Chamber will handle RSVPs for the event and help ensure a great turnout for your business. Business After Hours events are effective social activities to boost awareness of your products and services. Contact the Chamber to schedule your event or get more information.
• Advertisement opportunities in publications such as the Fort Stockton Visitor’s Guide, Chamber Connection, and our annual Banquet Tabloid.
• Events: Chamber events are innovative and fun ways to help members meet potential customers, clients, and vendors while strengthening Fort Stockton through community involvement.
