In today’s competitive marketplace, small businesses need more than just great products—they need smart, strategic marketing to stand out. That’s where the Southern Ocean County Chamber of Commerce steps in with its Marketing Consult Program, a cornerstone initiative of the Chamber’s 2030 Strategic Plan. Designed exclusively for Chamber members, this program offers personalized guidance to help local businesses thrive in an ever-evolving digital and consumer landscape.

Whether you're launching a new campaign or refining your brand message, the Marketing Consult Program delivers real value. Members receive one-on-one consultations with a seasoned marketing professional who understands both the local business climate and broader industry trends. Each session is tailored to the member’s unique goals, helping identify opportunities, streamline messaging, and maximize return on investment. Businesses also learn how to optimize their existing resources—whether it’s social media platforms, print materials, or digital tools—without overspending. The program is also a source of fresh inspiration, offering creative approaches that align with each brand and resonate with target audiences.

To further empower members, the Chamber has introduced a new service under the consult program: the Free Marketing Analysis. This enhancement invites members to bring in any marketing materials from the past 90 days for a comprehensive review. Items may include flyers, brochures, print ads, receipts, campaign budgets, audio spots, radio ads, social media posts, digital content, and even promotional video clips. During a 20-minute appointment, Southern Ocean Consulting will analyze these materials, provide constructive feedback, and suggest actionable improvements. Whether you're looking to boost engagement, refine your messaging, or simply understand what’s working and what’s not, this service offers a valuable opportunity to sharpen your strategy.

Appointments for the Free Marketing Analysis are available courtesy of the Chamber and are scheduled in 20-minute blocks. Scheduling an appointment with us is simple and convenient. Just contact the Chamber at your convenience, to arrange a meeting that fits your schedule by calling 609 494 7211 or emailing Kate@ sochamber.com .  As part of the Chamber’s 2030 Strategic Plan, it reflects a commitment to helping members adapt, compete, and succeed in this upcoming era. With the addition of the Free Marketing Analysis service, members now have an even greater opportunity to refine their strategies and amplify their impact. It’s time to invest in your success—and Southern Ocean Chamber is here to help.
