In an era when technology rules, it’s easy to forget the fundaments. You might be able to grow your business by using a variety of social media and social networking tools. Business consultant and #1 best selling author Tony Rubleski says, “I’m often asked by new and existing business owners for a simple, inexpensive way to increase their local visibility and marketing efforts to produce more opportunities and sales. Without a doubt, I always ask a stunningly simple question, Are you a member of your local chamber of commerce?”

Rubleski lists seven ways you can grow your business using your chamber of commerce:

  1. Visibility
  2. Access
  3. Ongoing training and education
  4. Networking
  5. Low cost advertising opportunities
  6. Advocacy
  7. Money saving discounts

Here Rubleski explains how to grow your business using these seven items.
