The West Orange Chamber of Commerce realizes that expensive marketing campaigns and elaborate promotional ads are generally unrealistic for small businesses on a budget. Fortunately, we know of several effective ways to promote your business for free!

  1. Networking: As a member of the West Orange Chamber, you have numerous free networking opportunities. Think of our networking events as a mini-marketing campaign. With your business card in hand, you will have the opportunity to share about your business with other local professionals. Don’t be shy, come out to the next Chamber event and get your name out there! The next free networking opportunity will be our November Business After Hours. This event will take place November 17th, from 5:30pm- 7pm at the Dr. P. Phillips Hospital. This complementary event is the perfect opportunity to effectively market your business, without breaking your budget!

  1. Hot Deals: Need free advertising? Send in your business’s “hot deal” and it will be featured on the Chamber website for all to see! This completely free marketing tool is open to all of our members and is the best way for people in the area to hear about your business. If you have any type of deal you wish to promote, put it on our Hot Deals. Don’t know how to post a Hot Deal? Let us help you. Contact the Chamber and we will get you started.

  1. Social Media: Social media is one of the most effective ways to market your business and build your brand for no cost. These outlets allow businesses to connect with directly with the consumer and promote business growth for free.
