This week, the Temple Chamber of Commerce joins chambers across the state in celebrating Texas Chamber of Commerce Week, officially proclaimed by Governor Greg Abbott to recognize the vital role local Chambers play in driving economic growth and community prosperity.

Chambers of Commerce are more than Membership organizations; they are connectors, advocates, and catalysts for progress. From small business support to workforce development and public policy leadership, Chambers power local economies and keep Texas the best place to live, work, and do business.

Here in Temple, that mission is alive and well. Every day, the Temple Chamber helps businesses connect with opportunity, strengthen their voice, and access the tools they need to succeed. As part of this week of celebration, we’re proud to continue that commitment by launching a new online business intelligence tool designed to help local businesses make smarter, data-driven decisions.

This free digital resource—available Thursday, October 16—will make market research and competitive insights more accessible than ever before for Temple’s small business community. It’s another way the Temple Chamber is helping entrepreneurs plan, grow, and thrive in a changing economy.

We invite you to join us in celebrating the impact of Chambers across Texas and in exploring this new era of business empowerment right here in Temple.

Learn more and join the launch event on Thursday, October 16, 9:00 a.m. at the Temple Chamber of Commerce. RSVP today:  https://bit.ly/EmpowerLocalBusiness

Something big is coming for small business.

The Temple Chamber of Commerce is preparing to unveil a powerful new digital resource designed to help local entrepreneurs and business owners make smarter, data-driven decisions. Think of it as having access to the kind of insights large corporations use to stay ahead, now available for every business in Temple.

With just a few clicks, business owners will be able to benchmark their performance against competitors, discover new customers and suppliers, identify the best places to advertise, and explore detailed information about local demographics and consumer spending.

This new online platform is designed to make advanced market intelligence accessible anytime and anywhere, helping local businesses make informed decisions and identify opportunities for growth.

Join the Temple Chamber for the official launch event on Thursday, October 16, at 9:00 a.m. at the Temple Chamber of Commerce. Be among the first to see the tool in action and learn how it can support the success of Temple’s business community.

This marks a new era of opportunity, where innovation and insight come together to strengthen local business.

In today’s competitive economy, the difference between surviving and thriving often comes down to the information at your fingertips.

Large corporations have long had access to expensive consultants and research firms to guide their decisions. But what about small businesses and entrepreneurs, the backbone of our local economy?

The Temple Chamber of Commerce is preparing to launch a new digital business resource designed to change that. This innovative online platform will soon be available to businesses in Temple.

With just a few clicks, business owners will be able to:

• Benchmark performance against competitors in the same industry and region.
• Discover new customers and suppliers using interactive mapping tools.
• Identify the best places to advertise based on real demographic and spending data.
• Access educational content on starting, managing, and growing a business.

This kind of market research and intelligence has traditionally been out of reach for small businesses due to cost or complexity.

Soon, it will be accessible anytime, anywhere, empowering local business owners to make smarter decisions, minimize risks, and unlock new opportunities.

Why is this important? Because small businesses drive job creation, innovation, and community investment.

When local companies succeed, our whole region thrives. By providing cutting-edge tools that are expensive to access otherwise, the Temple Chamber is leveling the playing field for entrepreneurs and business owners right here at home.

Stay tuned for the official launch in the coming month. This is one more way the Temple Chamber is delivering on its mission to advance business and community in Central Texas.
