"Business Helping Business" is what we are all about.  The Greater DuBois Chamber of Commerce represents member companies and organizations throughout our service area of 14 municipalities and townships.  The Chamber’s MISSION is to actively assist its member businesses to achieve their full potential and to promote the economic viability of this beautiful area.  The Chamber helps businesses to succeed by providing a wide range of programs and services designed to promote business retention and economic development.  Our primary goal is to improve the business climate, which in turn improves the broader community.  We want to be YOUR business resource!

The following are just some of the benefits of membership in the Greater DuBois Chamber of Commerce:

Many of our businesses participate in our member-to-member discount program. It’s a great way to get business, not to mention the savings you can realize for your own business needs. A member-to-member discount benefits you and it’s a great employee benefit. Call the Chamber office at 371-5010 to sign up or to learn more.

Chamber Gift Certificates benefit Chamber Members.

As a Chamber member, your business can participate in the Gift Certificate Program. Simply agree to accept Chamber gift certificates at your business and you receive full value of the certificates—a great way to encourage customers to shop locally.  Anyone can purchase Chamber gift certificates for family, friends, and employees to provide gifts for special occasions. Call the Chamber office at 371-5010 for details.

We immediately add your contact information to our website, www.duboispachamber.com. We provide a FREE link from our website to your website and e-mail, and we list your longitude and latitude so customers can locate you with a GPS. As a new member, you receive (1) FREE flyer insert in our “Chamber Chatter” newsletter that goes to over 500 area business people. Your business profile, contact information and logo are included in the “Chatter” as well as public notice in area newspapers announcing your Chamber membership.  Each member is invited to submit an article for the Business Spotlight feature in the "Chamber Chatter."  This gives you the opportunity to provide more detail about your business, your products, and your services.

In addition to your listing on our website, in the newsletter and in our Community Profile, the Chamber helps customers to find you by filling requests for referrals. When requests for businesses and services come to us, it is our Chamber members’ names we specify. We do this in the form of specific referrals by business type or generally through our mailings to potential residents and visitors. Each year we mail copies of the Membership Directories and Community Profiles, in which our members are highlighted and promoted. We also provide these to realtors, hotels, schools and the hospital, which helps them to promote the area and our members.

This is one of the Chamber’s most valuable functions; providing our businesses with opportunities to meet potential customers and clients at Chamber-sponsored events. We hear more and more that people are connecting and forging business relationships as a result of these networking opportunities. We usually have 10 Mixers per year plus our Annual Gala in January; the Chamber/Jaycee Golf Tournament in May; and the Silver Ribbon Award Luncheon in July; Ladies Golf Tournament in September; and quarterly Business Over Breakfast meetings.

The “Chamber Chatter” newsletter provides updates on Chamber events, business news and interesting articles. Ad space is available in the newsletter as well as inserting flyers and brochures from member businesses. In addition to reaching members through the monthly newsletter,  you can submit a brief message for the weekly Monday Morning Update e-mail when appropriate.

There are numerous opportunities to promote your business, either by sponsoring a Chamber event or by hosting a Mixer.  In addition to your free listing online and in the Community Profile, you can purchase ad space in one of our publications. The Chamber ‘s Tourism & Marketing Committee works to promote the Greater area through various programs.  Our partnerships with the Clearfield County Recreation and Tourism Authority and the PA Wilds help us to promote your business to visitors from--everywhere!

Our office is the local branch of our county's tourism agency, the Clearfield County Recreation & Tourism Authority. We send out packets of information each year to prospective visitors and residents. We fill many requests for area maps, event calendars and activity listings.

Our office is a one-stop information center providing important business, trade, demographics, marketing, management, and general area resources. If we don’t know the answer, we know where to find it.

If you don’t have your own permit number for large mailings, we can help. Call us at 371-5010 for details if you have 200 or more pieces to mail.

We survey members to find out what issues and topics are important to your businesses.  The Chamber hosts the Business Over Breakfast series four times a year and provides a speaker to address some of those topics or issues.  The Chamber also partners with other organizations to promote workshops, seminars, and webinars to give you more opportunities to learn. Please help us to help you! Keep your eye on the ”Chamber Chatter” and the Monday Morning Update, for upcoming seminars.
