Introducing 3 New Chamber Programs Designed With You in Mind
The Mad River Valley Chamber of Commerce is thrilled to unveil three coordinated initiatives created in direct response to the ideas, feedback, and conversations we’ve had with you—our members. These new tools are built to help you market smarter, plan better, and connect more deeply with fellow businesses and the wider community.
They’re not just stand-alone programs—they’re part of a bigger effort to help you succeed and strengthen the Valley’s business ecosystem as a whole.
1. Boost Your Reach: Collaborative Social Media Posts
We’ve launched a brand-new Collaborative Social Media Posting Program that puts you in the spotlight. Want to highlight a new product? Celebrate your team? Share an event or tell your story? We’ll help you do that on the Chamber’s social media platforms—amplifying your message through our growing audience.
These posts are easy to create and offer a high return:
📣 Increased visibility
👀 New audience reach
💬 Stronger community connection
Just fill out a simple form to reserve your post date and upload content—we take care of the rest.

2. Plan Smarter: Retail Planning Calendar
Better coordination means better results. That’s why we’ve created the MRV Retail Planning Calendar, a shared, evolving tool designed to help local businesses stay organized and collaborate more effectively throughout the year.
With this calendar, you can:
🗓 View key retail and community dates
📣 Plan sales and promotions around local happenings
🤝 Avoid scheduling conflicts and find collab opportunities
📬 Submit your events to both Chamber and community calendars. You can even leave comments directly on the calendar or email us to get your events added. This calendar isn’t static—it grows with your input, sector meetings, and seasonal needs.
3. Learn & Grow: Monthly Marketing Workshops
Our Monthly Marketing Workshops are here to help you level up your marketing game. Held on the second Tuesday of every month at 9:30 AM, these sessions are led by media pro Brittany Winfield and cover everything from social media and email campaigns to web design tips and strategy.
You don’t need to register—just drop in with your questions and walk away with fresh ideas and actionable advice.
