I have an idea for the Chamber's next office

The Coconut Grove Chamber of Commerce is looking for a new home. They are moving from their current office on Florida Avenue. Before that, they were at a small space on McFarlane. Gone are their grand days when they were in the Glass House, where Glass & Vine restaurant is now.

The Chamber can't even afford to rent in their own village! How is that for over-the-top rents?

I did come up with an idea though. How about a trolley car? I'm serious. They can pick a trolley, I think they all have numbers, so their address would be a certain numbered trolley and then there is where visitors, as well as locals can meet at the Chamber office. It will come to them. You would just wait at a stop for the trolley to come by and hop on and deal with the Chamber.

They could have a desk in the back of the car!

You would think that if the Chamber was a viable entity than any of its members or executive board would be most accommodating in providing them with a room in their office. BID, Woman's Club or one of the many empty shops that are holding out for bigger rents?; June 05, 2017 8:22 AM

Howard Kane, Esq. said...: The Chamber is a valuable resource for our community and its businesses. Most consumers (59%( think that being active in the chamber is an effective business strategy overall. It is 29% more effective, for communicating to consumersthat a company uses good business practices and 26% more effective for communicating that a business is reputable!

Importantly, when consumers know that a small business is a member of the chamber of commerce, they are 44% more likely to think favorably of it and 63% more likely to purchase goods or services from the company in the future.

Supporting our Chamber makes economic $ense!; June 05, 2017 4:13 PM
