Happy New Year from the Chamber of Commerce! New Years

has always been synonymous with fresh starts and goal setting. 

Our Chamber is no different! 2020 welcomes a lot of new

Chamber members and a few new Board members. We've

begun the process of reflecting on last year and planning for

this year.

It is our goal to provide a variety of networking, advertising,

educational and social opportunities throughout the year.

As the newly appointed Chamber President, I'm excited to be a

facilitator for growth and development. I stand firm in the

belief that we are better together and that if we each embrace

the same goal, we will all benefit.

I encourage you all to get involved and join us on this journey!

It is with great excitement that we welcome

KaLyn Schwartz to the team as a Program

Coordinator. You most certainly have met

KaLyn, greeting you with a smile as the Hostess

and Banquet Manager at Hahns.

Welcome KaLyn!!

As most of us look to our phones and tablets for

news, information, and entertainment, it is

critical we adjust our marketing approach to

accommodate the digital times we live in. While

historically the Chamber's marketing budget has

been spent on sport shows and print advertising;

2020 will start the transition of our digital

marketing journey. We will be investing more

heavily in social media and geographic &

demographic targeted advertising. These

outlets are desirable because they are relatively

low cost, targeted and traceable.

Digital platforms provide insights into the

number of views, click thru's to websites,

demographics of users, and search terms people

are using to find us. This information is

extremely valuable, as it allows us to tailor our

approach to capture a larger pool of our desire

demographic. It also gives us the agility to

change our messaging and ads to attract

different audiences depending on the time of

year (fishing, families, boaters, etc).

NEW & EXCITING | To amplify the Fremont area

we have invited social media "influencers" to

come and explore all our wonderful town has to

offer. These influencers are Wisconsin-based

individuals with large followers on Facebook,

Instagram, etc. and blog about fishing, boating,

camping, and Wisconsin food, to name a few.

Visits will be scattered throughout the year,

with emphasis from May to September.

location of the meeting, notification will be
