Member Logos

Add the Chamber Member logo to your website & printed materials to showcase your membership in Santa Cruz's oldest business organization. The marketing benefits of Chamber membership are measurable. A study commissioned by the American Chamber of Commerce Executives found that if people are told that a particular business is a Chamber member, they think more favorably about a company’s products, services and reputation:
• Consumers are 44% more likely to rate it favorably
• Awareness of the business increases by 51%
• Companies have a 57% better local reputation
• Customers are 63% more likely to want to purchase goods or services from the company

Display your decal at your location and on any company vehicles, and include the Chamber logo on your website and in advertisements and marketing materials. Please let us know if you need other sizes of the logo or if you would like additional decals.
