"I first joined the Oceanside Chamber in 2004 with an interest in connecting more personally with the business community in Oceanside and the neighboring cities.  I knew that the more active I was in the community, the greater would be my success.  I became an active member and a Chamber Ambassador.  Mission accomplished !  The Oceanside Chamber has been a real influence in the positive growth of my Insurance Business.  My membership has certainly been worth every penny and many, many dollars more."

"A few years ago there was an ordinance before the city council that affected the marketing efforts of several small businesses in Oceanside, including ours.  The Chamber got behind us and arranged strategy meetings between the businesses and the city planners to help streamline our proposal.  To add strength to that proposal the CEO of the Chamber spoke on our behalf at a crucial Council meeting to make sure we were heard.  These efforts resulted in a final decision that we could all live with.  For us, this solidified the need for a strong Chamber and that only happens when that Chamber is actively supported by the business community."

The Chamber also provides the most effective resources from their exceptional networking events to relevant educational workshops and support of the community. As an Internet Marketer I appreciate the OCC's commitment to being on the forefront of online growth, which has resulted in their becoming one of the most social media friendly chamber's in the United States. Through efforts like co-sponsoring events with Google Partners and Indoor Maps, Oceanside has developed a reputation for being a tech savvy community with the Chamber leading the way."

"As a small, service related business,  being an active member of  The Oceanside Chamber has proven to be a good business strategy as it is an effective way to convey to consumers that my company uses good business practices, is involved in the community, cares about customers, and is reputable.   I have attended many of the Chamber’s educational seminars including  their social media series and maximizing your membership series.  The monthly mixers offered by the Chamber assist me in reaching out and meeting old and new members and their guests in a friendly, yet professional setting.  My revenue has increased directly from being involved with the Oceanside Chamber’s education, networking and on-line presence. Whether you are a small business, or a large corporation, home based or mobile, the Oceanside Chamber of Commerce offers business connections, visibility and community involvement.  We are The 'Friendly Chamber'.”
