We believe that membership - and active participation - in the St. Petersburg Area Chamber of Commerce works highly to our business advantage and our standing in our community. 

1-800-GOT-JUNK? is a global brand, yet locally owned and managed.  Through the Chamber's formal events - like the recent Multi-Chamber Showcase - or informal gatherings - like grand openings or after hours networking - we stay connected with clients and peers in the business community. 

I am grateful that the St Petersburg Area Chamber represents our region and the business owner in local, state and national issues.  Individually and together, we benefit from the Chamber's advocacy on behalf of our community.

At Papa John’s we believe in building our business by growing relationships. Anyone can hand you a coupon and ask you to use it at their establishment. We take pride in building two way relationships that are beneficial to both parties involved. This has long been our objective at Papa John’s, especially so in our local franchise, Team Oney Inc. Our relationship with the St. Petersburg Chamber of Commerce has been an important resource in developing these sorts of relationships. Through the various Chamber meetings such as “Business Before Breakfast” and “Business After Hours” we have made important contacts to build relationships with. If not always producing instant sales results, we always are able to keep Papa John’s top of mind in the community. We appreciate all the opportunities and resources made available to us through our membership in the Chamber of Commerce. The professionalism exhibited at meetings and events is in accordance with the same professionalism that we strive to maintain at Papa John’s Pizza, making it a terrific partnership from our standpoint. We recommend local businesses to join the Chamber, take full advantage of all the opportunities help within membership, and fully support other participating members of the Chamber.

Business is soaring due to the great networking that the St. Petersburg Area Chamber of Commerce has. I have had to hire my 1^st employee after 18 years due to the unexpected volume of orders coming in. 

I just had my ribbon cutting in April in which 65 people attended.  The following day 2 Chamber members came back to my shop and placed 2 very significant orders.

Great work Chamber!

My personal experience joining the St. Petersburg Area Chamber of Commerce.

My name is Cecilia Miller; I have been a resident of St. Petersburg, Florida since 1998.  I am one of Little Genie, Graphic Design owners.

It was our good fortune when our design company joined the St. Petersburg Area Chamber of Commerce.  We are so proud to be a part of this trusted community related organization.  It feels like we are now a member on a forward moving "team" or that we have become a part of an extended "family" that works together for the betterment of ourselves and our community.

To all members, employees, and representatives of the St. Petersburg Area Chamber of Commerce, I would like to express my most sincere gratefulness for the warm welcome that Little Genie Graphic Design has received.  Thank you for your experience and advice, your interest in knowing more about our business, and for helping us to succeed. 

We would like to offer every member and employee of the St. Petersburg Area Chamber of Commerce and our community at large, our absolute support.  You can be sure that you can count on Little Genie Graphic Design, and you can count on my personal assistance if you ever need us.  Our personal and professional value system is based on respect, honesty and quality.  This is our business, this is what we know best, and we will never disappoint you.

I believe these are difficult times for everybody, but if we seek and care for one another’s endeavors, we will prevail over all adversity, because only united we will succeed.

I wish to each and every one of you the very best.

Sincerely,

Cecilia Miller

I have been incredibly impressed by the networking functions and member benefits offered by the Chamber.  Not only have I frequently taken advantage of our member-to-member discounts, but I have seen an immediate return on my investment!  After just two networking events I was able to meet with two Chamber members that have since become clients of mine.  Their business alone has easily allowed me to recoup my investment in joining the Chamber!

Thanks to everyone at the Chamber for the fantastic job they do!

Best Regards,
