Business Referrals- Each year the City Hall takes hundreds of calls from visitors asking for local products and services. It is our job to refer Association of Commerce members first in response to requests.

Website Listings– Only Association of Commerce members are listed on the website business directory. Members also have the opportunity to enhance their listings in the featured business section on the website and benefit from higher exposure by adding their logo, a link to their website and a short description of their business.

Networking Opportunities- Through Association of Commerce sponsored events, monthly membership meetings, or hosting Business After Hours there are many different areas where you can network with other business owners, customers, and community members.

Membership Decal- Each member receives a member decal that you may proudly display at your business location. This decal represents your involvement and your willingness to give back to the community.

Kenmare Bucks- As a member, you can accept Kenmare Bucks. They all have the embossed seal of the Kenmare Association of Commerce on them. This will be your indication that they are authentic. These dollars can increase your sales and are only redeemable at an Association of Commerce members’ place of business.

Kenmare Dollars are available to purchase to redeem by Becky Kostad, (Jan A Kostad, CPA office). The denominations available are $1 (green & light green), $5 (red), and $10 (blue or lightblue/white).
