Testimonials
The Eden Prairie Chamber has provided my business with countless new leads and has accounted for nearly $50,000 of new business. Hands down the money spent on the Chamber has the most return dollar for dollar than any other advertising that I could do. The networking possibilities are endless and working with the Chamber takes very little time -- the return is easily 10-fold.

“There are many ways one can try to grow their businesses, but having a strong marketing team behind you is a step in the right direction, especially during these times. I have found that team in my Eden Prairie Chamber Membership. Without a doubt, we wouldn't have had the strong Sales increase in 2008 without the support and fellowship of the Chamber and it's Members. If you're interested in growing your business, stop in for breakfast any Wednesday morning and check out our marketing team! Contact the Chamber for details!”
Bryan Erickson, Minute Man Press Eden Prairie
“The November After Hours Evening hosted at Leather Renditions by Sandi was a big success! Our store was filled with over 40 Eden Prairie Chamber members who enjoyed good food, great conversation and the unique opportunity to network while enjoying a fun fashion show. The best part may have been seeing our very own Chamber Members modeling the latest fashions in Leather, Shearling and fur. Thanks Eden Prairie Chamber for a great evening, let’s do it again soon!”
Lisa Prindville, Leather Renditions
“Thank you so much for the generous scholarship. I was so happy and excited when I got the phone call, it made my day! This will help me out a lot financially. I am glad I can be part of such a great community. Thanks again.”
Ivy Stevens, Mankato State Student/Recipient of Scholarship
“Working with the Chamber to set up an e-blast was very easy and a cost effective way to reach a large audience. They used the specific ad we created and even added a link to our website. We will certainly use this marketing tool again in the near future”.
Shannon Kennedy, Marriott Hotels
“The Emerging Leaders is great for anyone new to the business world or their line of work. It's a fun, supportive group that has provided me with MANY educational and professional opportunities to grow my business. I've passed and received several referrals within the group, and have formed close knit relationships that really help me in my career! Not only have I developed and grown as a professional, but I'm also a resource to others because of my Emerging Leaders network. I'd recommend the group to any newcomers looking to gain confidence and expand their skills.”
Holly Rehfeld, CHOICE, Inc.
“I've met and come to know many professional people at Business@Breakfast that I would've never otherwise been exposed to. By seeing them regularly I've gotten comfortable enough with them to refer my clients when appropriate and, they've done the same with me. What a great venue to do networking and still get to the office before 9 AM!”
Zane Birky, Edward Jones Investments
I just wanted to provide some feedback on the recent after-hours speed networking event. For people like myself that are a bit shy in large crowds, and not necessarily early morning people, this was a wonderful way to network and get a lot of information in a short amount of time. I'm glad that you decided to do it! I found it very valuable.
Chantal Devane, Devane Design
The majority of our catering business so far has come from our involvement in the Chamber.
Chris Peterson, Jason's Deli
For every $10,000 in print advertising, we get 1 customer, for every $1,000 in online advertising, we get 1 customer and for every $100 we spend with the chamber, we get 2-3 new customers.
Ann Sangpan, Check Engine Express
Our Eden Prairie Chamber of Commerce membership has provided us with a vital link to a great and growing network of friendships and business opportunities. From small breakfast groups to large events, we feel the Chamber offers us an outstanding, grass-roots marketing and educational resource that is key to our ongoing success.

I have been a member of the Eden Prairie Chamber since April of 2007. In that time I have made many new business contacts as well as new friends. The Chamber has helped me get my name out to the community and grow my business. Joining the Chamber was a good decision, but being active in the Chamber was a great decision. There are many different groups and events to be a part of and if one does not work with your schedule, another one will.
Adam Weinblatt, Liberty Mutual Insurance
The Chamber provides incredible networking and business growth opportunities. I enjoy the many well organized events and programs – I had no idea it would be this fun and productive! I have been amazed at the civic mindedness, professionalism, and helpful nature of the staff and members. The Eden Prairie Chamber well deserves its reputation as one of the best anywhere.
Craig Ramsey, Financial Resources
The Eden Prairie Chamber or Commerce has been a wonderful organization to belong to. I have been involved for the past 5 years and have gotten to know so many people and their businesses. Being involved has been the key to success. Working with the Ambassador Group and the Women's Networking group has given me exposure to many people and has allowed me to gain business as well as give business. The Chamber allows me to not only meet new people, but to see what our business community has to offer. The more networking I am able to do the more of a credible resource I can be. There's nothing better than to be able to refer someone you know to a chamber member!
