Creating a Strong Local Economy
The Biggest Problems You'll Have With Your Business, And How The Napa Chamber Overcomes Them All
The Challenge: Getting More Customers Now!
The Chamber’s Response: The Chamber provides visitor information packets to promote Napa Chamber Businesses
There are multiple packets produced by the Chamber
and are available for purchase and give away. All packets contain some
common information (maps, golf, etc.), but each has specific
information geared to unique audiences. Some of the specific
packets are listed below with examples of the information included:
- Business Information – Vendors, housing, government, local demographics,
- Relocation – Banks, real estate, home inspectors, schools, utilities, worship, parks
- Sr. Citizen – Restaurants, transportation, senior centers, clubs, etc.
- Wedding – Caterers, restaurants, venues, photographers, bakeries, florists, etc.
- Visitor – Hotels, restaurants, wineries, Limo services, spas, resorts, Balloon Rides, etc.
Advertising Opportunities
The Chamber offers myriad opportunities to promote your business
including (but not limited to) the E-Newsletter, Hot Sheets, Events,
the Annual Community Profile, Co-Op 4-color Postcard Program, and more.
The Chamber website lists all Chamber members free of charge. If you
need a website, the Chamber can create a customized website for you at
a minimal fee.
The Challenge: Transportation Issues
The Chamber’s Response: Infrastructure & Transportation Task Force
The Chamber remains extremely involved in the policy making processes
with local transportation authorities and local government as well as
advocating on behalf of funding requests from State & Federal
agencies. From van pooling to reduce congestion to major improvements
of highways, the Chamber works on your behalf to reduce traffic and
improve the flow though out the Valley.
The Challenge: Disaster or Crisis
The Chamber’s Response: We Provide Staffing For Emergency Response (Floods, Etc)
Chamber staff is volunteer (on call) emergency staffing for the
City. Maintains phone tree, and e-mail communications with all
businesses in Napa and assists with communication for floods,
earthquake, fire or other general emergencies to mobilize people to
handle the emergencies in a timely
manner.
We support businesses in crisis
The Napa Chamber supports member businesses when they need help due to
a disaster or emergency which leaves them unable to conduct business as
usual. Although there is some funds set aside to actually help the
business owner financially, generally the business is most appreciative
of the personal attention by Chamber staff and members. The Chamber
will waive membership dues for the year in some cases, and has also
been known to help with marketing when the business gets back on its
feet and is ready for customers.
