The Springfield Chamber Celebrates Small Business Season™ with a Focus on the Holiday Experience

The Springfield Area Chamber of Commerce is excited to announce the kickoff of Small Business Season, now through the end of the year. Small Business Season is a global initiative, calling attention to the importance and positive impact of small business and encouraging consumers to put their support behind local businesses throughout the holiday season.

As part of Small Business Season, the Springfield Chamber will be offering local tips for the public and spotlighting unique experiences, products, and services across the region. 

For those who lean on the convenience of giving through gift cards, the Chamber’s Willamette Valley E-Gift Card is one way to ensure your gift card dollars are reinvested locally. For businesses and employers, giving the gift of a local e-gift card tells your employees, clients, and customers that you, too, support local. Here’s a short video tutorial on how to purchase and use the Willamette Valley E-Gift Card:

In the spirit of Small Business Season, Springfield Chamber President and CEO Vonnie Mikkelsen reminds us:

“It only takes a small change to make a big difference. That small change can be as simple as making one good decision to spend local and local-online, first.”

– Vonnie Mikkelsen, Springfield Chamber President and CEO
