Association and chamber of commerce websites are frequently sought out when potential customers are looking for products and services in a local area.  In fact, a 2007 study (by The Schapiro Group) showed that when potential customers 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% are more likely to purchase goods or services from the company in the future. Chamber credibility is important and it positively enhances click through rates. Association websites are best positioned to deliver the most cost effective, targeted and qualified traffic because of your brand name advantage and the collective power of your member content.  Online users are seeking this content every day.* (*Source: www.weblinkinternational.com)
