Carol,
For networking all types of groups can bring you business. I would
highly recommend a BNI group or similar single leads group over a chamber of
commerce to start. The cost per year is relatively the same. But with a BNI
group you would be the only person in the group with your type of business.
With a chamber or other women's group there may already be apparel business
in the group. I started my business 3 1/2 years ago and have been in my BNI
chapter 3 years. 70% of my customers have come from BNI referrals. Last year
I joined a c of c as well and I am just starting to see some decent
referrals from it. Either way you have to participate. The more you give the
more you get. Good Luck.

Now for a completely different subject: networking. I have been
approached by one networking group (BNI) and have gone to a couple of
meetings to see how that works. A friend in a different area belongs
to the Chamber of Commerce and has been really happy with the
increased business she has gotten from belonging to it and it's
networking group. I have already joined the Rocky Mountain Indian
Chamber of Commerce, because it will help me with the issues of
getting certified as a minority business, etc., etc., but in the
Denver area there are more than one networking businesses (like BNI,
that have groups), more than one kind of C of C (women's and the
regular one), etc., etc. The price of the networking groups is large
enough that it makes me wonder what is the best place to spend my (non-
existent right now) money to generate business. Anyone have experience
with this? I have a friend who started a computer business and we are
both visiting these groups and wrestling with the decision of what to
do or whether to do anything more than we already do.
