BUSINESS STUDY:
CONSUMERS 63% MORE LIKELY TO BUY
FROM CHAMBER MEMBERS
A study by The Schapiro Group, an
Atlanta based market research firm,
reveals a number of important
findings about how consumers and
business owners perceive the local
chamber of commerce and the
businesses that are their members.
For example:
• When consumers know that a
business is a member of the
local chamber, they are 44%
more likely to think favorably
about it.
• Consumers who are told that a
business is a chamber member
are 51% more likely to be
highly aware of it and 57%
more likely to think positively
of its local reputation.
• Consumers are 63% more
likely to buy goods and services
in the future from a company
that they believe is a member
of the local chamber of
commerce.
The study also has good news for
businesses that sell to other
businesses.
• When business decision-makers
believe that a business is a
chamber member, they are
37% more likely to think
favorably of the business, 51%
more likely to be highly aware
of it, 58% more likely to think
positively of its local reputation,
and 59% more likely to buy
goods and services from it.
Supporting the previous findings, the
study also reveals a positive
perception for the local chamber
itself:
• Regarding the chamber’s
impact on the local economy,
82% of respondents believe
that the local chamber of
commerce helps create jobs
and promotes local economic
development.
The results of the Schapiro study are
clear: Positive perception increases
among consumers and business
owners when a business is identified
as a member of the local chamber of
commerce.
