Your Guide to the New Cornwall Chamber Website: How to Get the Most Out of It

The Cornwall Chamber of Commerce website has had a major glow-up, and it’s designed to help you get more from your membership. Whether you want to connect with other businesses, promote your services, or stay in the loop with events and opportunities, this site is built to make your life easier.

So, let’s dive in and make sure you’re getting the most out of everything on offer.

Step 1: Make Your Member Profile Work for You

Think of your Member Directory listing as your digital business card—it’s the first thing people see, so make it count!

Check your business details – Nobody likes out-of-date info. Make sure your name, contact details, and website are up to scratch.
Write a standout description – Tell people what you do in a way that grabs attention (without the waffle).
Use smart keywords – Think about what people would type into Google to find you and work those words in.
Add your social media links – Make it easy for people to follow, connect, and engage with you.
Upload a slick logo and cover image – Because first impressions matter.

💡 Pro Tip: The more complete your profile, the higher you’ll rank in searches—so take five minutes to fill it out properly! (You’ll find a handy tutorial here.)

Step 2: Connect with Other Businesses in the Member Directory

This is your go-to networking tool, making it easier than ever to find the right people and businesses.

Search by industry, keyword, or location to discover new connections.
Check out full member profiles to learn more about potential partners, suppliers, or clients.
Use the M2M (Member-to-Member) Recommendation feature to share and receive trusted referrals.

💡 Pro Tip: Giving genuine recommendations helps you build relationships—shout out great businesses and watch the goodwill (and referrals) come back your way. (There’s another tutorial for you here.)

Step 3: Get Involved in the Members Hub

The Members Visual Noticeboard is your digital networking space—think of it as a year-round Chamber event, just without the coffee queues.

Here’s what you can do:

Post updates about your business – Launched something new? Hiring? Got a special offer? Shout about it!
Ask for and give recommendations – Need a supplier? Looking for a collaborator? The Hub is the place to ask.
Join discussions in the forum – Share insights, swap advice, and engage with the Chamber community.

💡 Pro Tip: The more active you are, the more visible your business becomes. Don’t be shy—jump in!

Step 4: Stay in the Loop with Events & Opportunities

The Chamber runs brilliant networking and business events throughout the year—now, it’s easier than ever to stay up to date.

Check the events calendar to see what’s coming up.
Register for events in just a few clicks—no more email chains!
Look out for sponsorship and speaking opportunities to boost your profile.

💡 Pro Tip: Showing up is half the battle—regularly attending Chamber events keeps you in the know and on the radar.

Step 6: Make the Most of Your Membership

The new Chamber website is more than just a website—it’s a powerful business tool designed to help you grow, connect, and thrive. The more you engage with it, the more you’ll get from your membership.
