What are Chamber Certificates?
Chamber Certificates are similar to a gift certificate, but
unlike regular gift certificates, Chamber Certificates can be
used at any business in White County that belongs to the
White County Chamber of Commerce.
Most gift certificates can only be used at one location.
Chamber Certificates provide the recipient of the gift the
freedom to choose the location they prefer to purchase their
gift.
You can purchase Chamber Certificates at the White
County Chamber of Commerce office, located at 122 North
Main Street, Cleveland.
Chamber business owners that are presented with a
Chamber Certificate will accept them as they would a personal or business check.
The Chamber strives to promote its members, local
businesses and all of White County. Chamber Certificates
are an ideal way to help support White County business,
shop locally and help raise tax revenues for our county. Purchase your Chamber Certificates today and do your part in
supporting businesses that support our community through
membership in the chamber.
