Chamber Text Messaging System

We’ve launched a new text messaging system to help share timely updates more efficiently. Members can sign up for one or more lists based on what information is most relevant to them:

• CHAMBER – Monthly meetings, events, surveys, deadlines, and member updates
• MERRIMAC – Merrimac-specific business updates and public need-to-know information
• SAUKPRAIRIE – Broader community news and Riverway updates

This tool also allows us to share important information on behalf of businesses when appropriate. If you haven’t signed up yet, we encourage you—and your staff—to do so.

Placer AI – A Powerful Member Benefit

The Chamber has invested in Placer AI, a business intelligence and location analytics tool that provides valuable insights into customer behavior and visitation patterns across the Sauk Prairie area.

Using anonymized, aggregated data, the Chamber will proactively share reports with members that highlight:

• Trade areas and where visitors are coming from
• Visitation patterns and peak activity times
• Length of stay within the community
• Cross-visitation between businesses and destinations

These insights are designed to support smarter marketing decisions, stronger business planning, and data-driven conversations about economic development and community growth. This is a benefit available to Chamber members, and we look forward to sharing more Placer AI insights in the months ahead.
