The new year brings new opportunities to market your business! The Naperville Area Chamber of Commerce has 2 great long-running programs to help you with this process.

Our Residential Greeter program has been in existence since the 1960’s and places our businesses right at the doorstep of new residents in the Naperville area. We have a team of greeters who go door-to-door with new residents and provide a bag stuffed with information. This bag includes general information on Naperville as well as brochures, menus, promotional products, discounts, and information on our member businesses. This is an opportunity for a new resident to get introduced to our local business community. This serves as both a great value to our new residents as well as a tremendous opportunity for a business owner to get in front of a new prospect. Currently our Residential Greeters go to roughly 350 residents each month. Participants in this program receive a list each month with Contact Information of the people who were greeted. Our Residential Greeter deadline for January is Friday, January 22nd by 5:00pm.

Our “Member Direct” program (formerly known as “Chamber Stuff”) has been around for over 10 years. This program allows businesses to place direct mail pieces in our monthly Chamber envelope. This gets distributed to our entire mailing list of all Member Contacts. Currently this is roughly 3,500 direct mail pieces. Participants in this program also receive an “all-contact” list with information on each person the envelope goes out to. This program is a great way to highlight events, special promotions, and services targeted to the Naperville Area Chamber community. The deadline for participation for this program for January is Thursday, January 14th by 5:00pm.

Both of these programs offer you a terrific way to start the year off with a marketing blitz to invigorate your business. Please contact Joan Olivier at (630) 544-3387 for further information on either of these programs.
