Joining your local chamber of commerce is one of the most effective (and least expensive) things you can do to build, grow and expand your business. The Pasadena Chamber of Commerce has been growing in recent years. Our membership is increasing year-over-year by about 100 new members. We are very pleased to welcome so many new enterprises to the Pasadena Chamber of Commerce and our greater Pasadena area.

Small Business Saturday^® is November 29. Small Business Saturday is a day dedicated to supporting small businesses across the country.

Shoppers are encouraged, through local, regional and national promotional efforts, to visit local small businesses and patronize them on November 29th.

Educate them about what, you may be thinking. Well, consider this, many businesses focus solely on attracting new customers, but you NEED to spend a good chunk of your time retaining current and former customers. These are people you already know to be a good sales potential…they’ve already bought from you!

We communicate positions the Board of Directors takes on measures so the membership can be aware of our position.
