The past few years have brought about a lot of change in business. But many companies haven’t reevaluated their job descriptions. Every time they have a position to fill, they search a hard drive (or folder) and post it. This won’t keep you competitive in the employment arena.

Whether you sell food, things, or services, we’ve brought together a round-up of trends that you can incorporate into your business in 2023 for increased revenue and better market traction.

Times of economic uncertainty don’t cause anyone to look for new ways to spend money. But there are some investments in your business that even when you’re worried about cash flow, are worth the return. Without those necessities — be they software or services— you couldn’t operate. Chamber membership is one of those necessary business investments and here’s why:

As a member of the House Budget Committee, Rep. Ealy appropriated $300,000 in state funds for Grandview’s historic downtown beautification and revitalization project. These state funds will go towards expanding space on Main Street in Grandview to attract more businesses and improve walkability to the area.

Partnering with another business can help you both offer something to your markets that neither has seen. Here are three ways to find your perfect complementary business so you both can profit.

Love Local gives you the opportunity to shower your team, volunteers, or special someone while supporting your local Grandview Chamber AND our local business members! We've teamed up with Providence Pizza, housewife.kc, Ball's Price Chopper, and Karen's Kakes LLC to bring you Valentine's Day treats for anyone you're looking to surprise on February 14th.

Small business owners usually have more on their to-do lists than there is time in the day. If becoming more productive is one of your New Year's resolutions, we have a suggestion for you that could be a game changer.

As we talk with local businesses and Chamber members, the same question always comes up; "What's the deal? Why don't people want to work?!" What we're realizing is that folks do want to work, but they don't want to sacrifice their well-being for a job anymore.

No matter what your business or industry is, support is key. Creating community with other businesses in the area can help your organization succeed. There are many resources that we all tap into, like online groups or social media, but a largely untapped resource is on the community level. The Chamber of Commerce in your local community can be a huge untapped resource.
