Upon request, new and existing businesses receive a ribbon cutting for grand openings, ground-breaking ceremonies, or special anniversaries. Events receive publicity by local media as well as our weekly email blasts, website, social media, and more.
Business Advocacy
We are the “Voice of La Mesa Business” at City Hall, the State Capitol, the Federal level or wherever we are needed.
Enhance Your Credibility

Statistics also state that consumers who learn of a company’s involvement/membership with its local chamber are 19% more likely to think favorably of that company.
Publicity & Exposure
We provide numerous opportunities for members to promote their products and services to the public. Members can purchase our full Chamber Members Mailing List/Directory to use for targeted marketing plans, a table at one of our Business Expos or Taste to promote business directly to consumers, or sponsor our events, which yields high visibility and advertising value – your name and/or logo will be prominently displayed throughout all media related to the event.
Communication
Weekly email blasts keep members updated on upcoming events, news, and information, including new laws, relevant to business owners and managers. Our blasts also highlight member events, Hot Deals, Member-To-Member discounts, sponsorships, and more. We will also remind and help keep businesses in compliance with mandatory State and Federal Labor Law posters and other compliance items through our OSHA Store at discount prices.
Networking
Create new, rewarding friendships and business relationships through ribbon cuttings, mixers hosted by members, breakfast meetings, fundraising activities and community events. Exchange business cards and ideas and get to know other members in a fun-filled and relaxed atmosphere.
Special Events
Special events organized by the Chamber raise revenue to expand and improve services to our members. These events bring more business to our community, honor outstanding achievements of local heroes, and provide marketing opportunities for our members. Signature events hosted by the Chamber are: annual Salute to Local Heroes, “Spring Fling” and “Summer Bash” Business Expos, and the Taste of La Mesa.

What Our Members Are Saying
Don’t just take it from us, let our members do the talking!
As a member of the La Mesa Chamber of Commerce I wish to express my gratitude for the services they provide for the businesses in and around the La Mesa area. The La Mesa Chamber improves commerce and community beyond my expectations. I would recommend this chamber to any new business in the area not only for their networking services and benefits but their level of activity for their members and the community. I can only say good things about the chamber directors and staff, Mary England and Masaleen Frank constantly go out of their way to provide the best services for their members. They work diligently to improve my business as well as all of their members. I will continue to recommend my clients become members of the La Mesa Chamber.
