The Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce is launching a new program aimed at helping its members show a commitment to high service standards.
The program allows those chamber members that agree to abide by a code of conduct to access marketing material that conveys they are chamber certified.
“Extensive research has shown that people are more likely to frequent a business when they know they are involved in their local chamber,” said Dan Rogers, chamber general manager.
“Now we are giving those members who agree to the code of conduct additional tools to help show their civic pride.”
The code of conduct includes an agreement to conduct business in an honourable manner that reflects well on the business, the chamber and the community. The code of conduct also calls on each participating member to agree to lend a hand to help promote the community and whenever possible lend their expertise to help others grow and prosper.
The chamber certified marketing tool kit includes a bright window sticker and a table top tent that consumers can look for when they are shopping local.
