We cannot do our work without the support of our members, helping us to fulfil our goal of making the Stroud District better for business, together.
It only costs £25 per year to join (that's less than 50p per week).
The
Chamber runs the InStroud brand; channels on Facebook and Instagram that are dedicated to promoting businesses in town and increasing footfall. The
chances are we have already been promoting your business and sharing your
posts, if you're in the town centre. Find out more at www.stroudchamber.org.uk/instroud.
If we don’t seem to be sharing your content, please drop us a message so we
know to follow you.
VisitStroud.uk is the official resource for events, activities, itineraries and business across the Stroud District. It showcases some of the very best the Stroud District has to offer, with an audience that consists both of those visiting from afar and our local communities too. A monthly eNewsletter helps deliver upcoming highlights to the inboxes of the subscribers with a retention rate of well over 95%. The website alone can attract in excess of 500 unique, active visitors a day.
The
Chamber administers Stroud District Fiver Fest and Magic Tenner. FiverFest enables independent businesses in town
with the opportunity to offer their customers something (or a combination of
things) that would usually be a little more than £5 for just “a fiver”. Because
if every adult in Stroud spent just £5 per week in an independent businesses,
it would add £4.5m into our local economy – that makes our town a better place
to live and visit, as it means more jobs, better facilities and a bolstered
local community too.
Following similar principles, we have run Bee Stroud District across Stroud, Stonehouse, Dursley, Wotton-under-Edge and Nailsworth. These exciting events both engage and educate, whilst helping our communities discover new businesses in our towns.
