Business After Hours (BAH) are a wonderful marketing opportunity for members as they elevate the host’s presence in the community. With average attendance of 35-50 people, the visibility your company will receive is targeted and authentic. In addition to on-site visibility, the Chamber actively promotes each BAH/host through local media outreach, i.e. Biz Blast, Facebook, Chamber Monthly etc. Generally, BAH hosts provide food, wine and giveaways. Co-hosting is welcomed and encouraged!
Event times are 4pm-6pm unless otherwise noted.
Please contact the chamber directly at 231-547-2101 or cole@charlevoix.org for schedule and availability.
