Testimonials

“Gold’s Gym has been a member of the Douglas County Chamber of Commerce since opening our doors in 1984. We hoped our Chamber would provide exciting immediate and long-term benefits, and we have received all that and more.

Connected directly to the heart and soul of the West Georgia business community, our Chamber of Commerce is the thriving resource for business information/education, political connections, and future events that directly impact every business in our area. It is literally made up of the movers and shakers of our area.

As our Chamber has grown, so too has our gym business, and there is a correlation. We feel very fortunate to have had such a close working relationship with the all of the outstanding staff at our Chamber and sincerely believe this connection has helped us to remain strong as a gym business.

With the monthly Coffee Card Exchange, the Business After Hours, and the Luncheon (hosting outstanding, informative speakers), we clearly feel the pulse of success that helps to inspire and create even more possibilities. And we have made Gold’s Gym members of many Chamber members (as well as the Chamber staff), a huge win-win for everyone.

The outstanding professional work and involvement our Chamber has had in our community has created one of, if not the best Chamber of Commerce in the Southeastern Region. I do not exaggerate when I say that The Douglas County Chamber of Commerce has been excellent for so long that it has set the standard for all Chambers to emulate. Every new business that is about to open, if they are planning properly for success, needs to jump on this opportunity with all fours. Not being wired into the Chamber is like trying to run a business without electricity...you’ll have no power.

“I have seen rapid growth in my business, and I attribute much of it to the contacts I have made through the Douglas County Chamber of Commerce. Chamber Networking Events have allowed me to meet and establish relationships with business owners who have become loyal customers. I also receive regular referrals from the Chamber website and staff as part of my membership. – the Chamber is like an extension of my sales force.”

My husband and I have used our Chamber membership to grow our family business from the day of our ribbon cutting. We have had a great response from our participation in the annual Chamber Expo at the mall and have gotten many leads from the Chamber’s new resident welcome center on Church Street. Utilizing our Chamber benefits are a regular part of our success strategy.”

New Member Recognition

The Douglas County Chamber of Commerce is a great place to get recognition and promote your business. New members have the opportunity to introduce themselves at all three of our monthly networking events. New members also receive special recognition in Chamber Matters.

Ribbon Cuttings & Ground Breakings
Ribbon Cutting & Ground breaking ceremonies are a free service that we provide to Chamber Members only. These events are held on either Tuesdays or Thursdays at 11:30 a.m. and offer you a chance to introduce your business to our community. Don’t worry!  We take care of most of the logistics for you. We’ve got the giant scissors and red ribbon and we know who to invite.  We will send out e-mail invitations to fellow Chamber members, the Chamber Board of Directors, Chamber Diplomats, and City and County elected officials.  We also take care of the follow up.  We will submit your contact info and photos to Chapel Hill News & Views, dctv 23, CITI TV and the Douglas County Sentinel for publication. Talk about exposure!
