Chamber Referral Month is upon us. This is an opportunity for anyone to recommend local businesses they think should join the Chamber. New members are crucial to the success of the Chamber. We need our local businesses to help us continue the growth of the city. But don’t take it from me. Take it from a new member, Antwanette Crutcher.
Antwanette Crutcher is the founder and CEO of Jasper Float Spa & Wellness Center. The wellness center offers a variety of services from a lymphatic massage to an infrared sauna session to float therapy. Crutcher joined the Chamber in March 2024 and just a month later the Chamber organized a ribbon cutting for Jasper Float Spa & Wellness.
“[It] was a fantastic way to introduce my business to the community and generate excitement.”
Though she has only been a member for a few months, Crutcher reflected on her time and expressed the impact her membership has already had on her business and career.
Q: How has your membership benefited your business/your career?
A: “The Chamber’s team has been exceptionally supportive and personable, always willing to go the extra mile to help me connect with other members and resources. The Chamber has provided me with invaluable opportunities to network with other business leaders, city officials, and community members… As a Chamber ambassador, I’ve had the privilege of volunteering at various events, which has helped me build relationships and stay informed about local economic trends.”
Q: What are you looking forward to by continuing your membership?
A: “I’m excited to continue my involvement with the Chamber and explore new opportunities for growth and collaboration. I’m particularly interested in learning more about the Chamber’s initiatives to support small businesses and promote economic development in our city.”
Q: Why would you encourage other businesses to join the Chamber?
A: “I would highly encourage other businesses to join the Chamber because it’s a great way to connect with the local business community, gain visibility, and contribute to the economic vitality of our city. The Chamber offers a wide range of resources and networking opportunities that can help businesses succeed. Plus, it’s a fantastic way to give back to the community and support local initiatives.”
As Crutcher mentioned, joining the Chamber has several benefits. But why should you participate in Chamber Referral Month?
