Chamber offers 2-for-1 memberships

January
9

In a tough economy for workers and small businesses alike, one local organization is turning to a marketing tool commonly found in supermarkets—the buy one, get one free special—to recruit new members who may be on tight budgets.

The African American Chamber of Commerce of Westchester and Rockland Counties Inc. is offering two memberships for the price of one to individuals and small businesses that apply by Jan. 23.

The chamber said that it is offering the 2-for-1 deal to build its membership base and help businesses that are struggling in a slow economy.

“We empathize with the small business owner and invite them to come aboard at the 2-for-1 charge to show that we understand,” Chamber President Robin Douglas said.

The memberships are good for one year. Cost of memberships is $85 for individuals and $225 for small businesses with up to five employees, according to the chamber’s Web site.
To join the Chamber or for more information, call 914-699-4749 or go to www.AACCNYS.org.
