Greenwood Area Chamber Membership Directory: This publication, the buyers’ guide to the local business community, lists Chamber members both alphabetically and by category. It provides member businesses broad exposure at no cost above their Chamber membership investment.
Greenwood Community Guide Magazine: A full color, quality of life guide that provides readers with data such as Greenwood facts and figures, information on real estate, health care, education, recreation, cultural activities, worship, business & industry, and newcomer information-community contacts. It is distributed to Chamber members, large employers in the area, welcome packets, hotels, realtors, doctors and dentists offices, hospitals, economic development corporations and universities, as well as individuals and businesses interested in relocating to the area.

Internet Exposure: (www.greenwoodscchamber.org) The Chamber website is the most highly accessed information source for Greenwood area business and community information. It features a vast scope of data including community and chamber programs and calendars, government information, area maps, relocation, tourism, economic development data, and multiple links to a wide range of resources and websites. All Chamber members are listed for each selected category in the searchable business directory and may increase their visibility by adding business descriptions and/or special “Hot Deal” offers, maps to their businesses, logos/photos, or hyperlinks from the Chamber site to their own website. This provides members extensive worldwide exposure and is an excellent source of referrals.
