We know how hard it is to own and run a small business, and we want you to know that we are here to help support you, promote your work, and connect you with the community. 

We invite you to become part of a welcoming network of local businesses, organizations, and entrepreneurs dedicated to strengthening Ocean Grove and the surrounding community. 

Why Join the Chamber? 

We understand that the past few years have been challenging for small businesses. The Ocean Grove Area Chamber of Commerce is committed to supporting our members through meaningful promotion, strong visibility, and community connection. 

Strong Social Media and Digital Reach 

Our social media platforms are one of our most powerful tools for promoting local businesses. With thousands of engaged followers, we regularly highlight members through business spotlights and featured posts, event promotion and special announcements, grand openings, sales, and ongoing visibility through shared content and engagement. 

Each post reaches a wide audience of residents, visitors, and day-trippers who actively follow Ocean Grove happenings. 

Business Spotlights and Promotion 

We proudly feature member business spotlights throughout the year to highlight your story, services, and offerings. These spotlights help increase visibility, build community recognition, and drive both local and visitor traffic to your business. 

Advertising and Email Marketing 

Members receive access to our full range of promotional channels, including free advertising in our weekly promotions email, free listings for events, sales, and announcements on Facebook, and opportunities to distribute flyers and brochures in our Chamber office. 

Our weekly email reaches thousands of subscribers with strong engagement and consistent open rates, providing valuable exposure for member businesses. 

Website Exposure 

Our website, OceanGrovenj.com, is regularly updated and serves as a central hub for visitor information, member listings, and community events. It is a key resource for people planning visits to Ocean Grove. 

Visitor Services and Referrals 

During the summer season, our tourism office welcomes thousands of visitors and provides direct referrals to Chamber members. From dining and lodging to retail, services, and recreation, we connect customers directly with local businesses. 

Community Involvement and Outreach 

The Chamber is deeply committed to community engagement and proudly partners with organizations such as the Ocean Grove Beautification Committee, Mary’s Place, The Jersey Shore Rescue Mission, Neptune Recreation Summer Camp Scholarship Program, the Ocean Grove Community Association, and other local initiatives. 

We also work closely with regional and state partners including Neptune Township Economic Development Corporation (EDC), Monmouth County Tourism, and the New Jersey Economic Development Authority (NJEDA) to support business growth, tourism promotion, and long-term community development. 

We actively support community outreach efforts including food drives, school supply collections, nonprofit partnerships, and seasonal beautification projects that enhance the Ocean Grove experience. 

Growth and Opportunity 

The Chamber continues to grow its events, marketing reach, and community programs. From expanding our signature markets and festivals to increasing digital engagement and business visibility, we are committed to creating more opportunities for our members to connect, promote, and succeed. 

Togetherness 

A strong Chamber builds a strong community. When local businesses support one another, the entire town benefits. We believe in collaboration, visibility, and shared success. 

Join us and be part of a community that works together to grow, support, and celebrate local business every day.
