The Chamber has sold over $300,000 of Chamber Gift Certificates in just 7 years. We would like to see your business on the receiving end of those dollars.  We urge all Chamber members who offer goods and services to participate in this program. This allows recipients to redeem their certificates for items such as clothing, gas, groceries, dental or doctor’s visits, auto maintenance, dinners, pet supplies, furniture, flooring, entertainment, etc. The possibilities are endless! 

Here are some great reasons for participating in the program:

• There is no risk to your business. We reimburse you dollar for dollar.
• The Chamber Gift Certificate program keeps money in our community.
• Only Chamber members can participate as redemption centers.
• We offer the program at no expense to you; we pick up the printing and administration costs. It is just another benefit of your West Plains Chamber membership!
• It is easy for you to participate! Handle Chamber Gift Certificates, as you would cash.
• Mail or bring the redeemed Certificates to the Chamber for reimbursement of the face value. What could be simpler?
• We provide you with a “Participating Business” sign to display on your door or window.
• We provide a list of “Participating Businesses” with every Certificate we sell, what easier way to market your business?

The Chamber is especially encouraging local businesses and industries to purchase the certificates for Christmas and incentive gifts for their employees. Instead of giving the usual ham or turkey this year, consider giving your employees Chamber Gift Certificates. It is so easy and your employees will appreciate the options afforded them.

Considering the fact that each dollar spent in our community turns over seven times before leaving, Chamber Gift Certificates pump thousands of dollars into our economy each year. In addition, we think buying locally just makes sense – every dollar spent in West Plains results in more jobs, a stronger economic base, added services, and a higher quality of life for everyone.

Please do not delay! Simply fill out the attached form to register your business and fax it to the Chamber office (417) 256-8711. Or, simply mail the form to us at 401 Jefferson Avenue. We will send you an information packet that includes your display sign as well as training tips for all your employees.
