Aside from promoting the member business as a whole, the Chamber is in a particularly unique position to also promote every product and service offered by its members. Because of this unique position, your Chamber has included a rather valuable benefit called DisplayedRight© which provides for a rapid way to post and manage each product and service online.  This is a full featured system for card holders to use for their top 10 products or services.
