Momentum has helped guide our expansion into a number of new cities by creating a strategy to use chambers of commerce. Sponsorship marketing works!
Damon Piatek President & CEO, Piatek Customs & Logistics
An event like Small Business Festival doesn’t come together without someone at the helm who knows all the players and can bring them all together. Momentum made the process so simple, knew exactly who to reach out to, and seamlessly made the first SBF Buffalo a huge success. What an AMAZING EXPERIENCE!

I’ve been thinking more and more about the use of ChatGPT as a competitive advantage for small businesses.
… And not using it as a competitive disadvantage.
A significant principle that I, and other ChatGPT trainers out there, are focused on is that AI is a tool you can use for productivity, freeing up time for higher-level activities.

Since we’ve started putting out content related to making the most of your chamber of commerce investment several years ago, our most viewed blogs have always been our “Chamber Prep for the Upcoming Year” entries.

When it comes to spending marketing dollars, we don’t always put the same emphasis on different places where we can spend money.
We all do it. I’ll admit it, and you can, too.
I want to put you, for a moment, in the shoes of your favorite chamber of commerce rep.
September is approaching quickly, and while there’s still one more summer weekend to be had, you know that the day you get back to the office, things take off – and don’t really slow down until about mid-December.
Imagine attending a chamber of commerce networking event, and having people come up to you all night saying, “I saw your car outside”… How powerful could that be?
