Greetings Chamber Members!

And just like that, we are on the way to a great Holiday Season! I don't know about you, but this year has flown by - very apropos to the saying "Time flies when you're having fun!" - and Boy OH Boy, do we have some fun in store for you, beginning with a Kick-off to the Holiday Shopping Season with our Vendor Fair this Saturday from 10 -2 pm. Make a whole day of shopping local by visiting us and the Fairgrounds for a weekend of festivities, shopping, Santa & more!

Also, MARK YOUR CALENDARS--> The Inaugural COWBOY CHRISTMAS is coming soon on December 4th, leading into the 70th Annual Marysville Christmas Parade. You will not want to miss out on this local shopping event. Maybe you haven't been down to Historic Marysville lately, but there are a lot of great shops and new ones, too, to be explored, not to mention all the fun we have planned! Save the date and spread the word!

And, as always, we have so much more going on with celebrations, networking opportunities, upcoming events, promotional opportunities for you and your business. See below for more information.

Presented by the Marysville Business Alliance (MBA), in partnership with The City of Marysville, Yuba-Sutter Lodging Association, Sapphire Marketing Group, The Yuba-Sutter Chamber of Commerce & Results Radio.

A Little More About The Marysville Business Alliance (MBA)

A group of Marysville merchants and business owners, with the support from Yuba County and The City of Marysville City Councilmembers along with the Chamber, have come together to form a Marysville Business Alliance which will be an arm of the Chamber.

The MBA’s mission is to revitalize the area through community engagement and create a unified voice to represent the business community at a City and County level and set the direction and vision for the future, incorporating the deep history of the area through events, music, arts, and culture.

This is a grass-roots effort backed by passion of enlivening Marysville and bringing it back to its full potential. We are excited and just now hitting the ground running! All Marysville businesses are welcome to join this fantastic group. We would love your input and participation!

If you are a Marysville business owner who would like to know more about how to be involved, or help with planning for the Cowboy Christmas, please contact Courtney directly at cfinstad@yubasutterchamber.com.

Why Shop Small?

Many small businesses were hit exceptionally hard because of their lack of e-commerce options. While big box stores gobbled up the lion’s share of online orders (Walmart’s online orders increased by 79% in the 3rd quarter of 2020 alone), many small businesses struggled to launch an online component, much less market that one was available. It was a hard learned lesson and one many simply weren’t prepared for.

When we talk about shopping small or shopping local, we always mention how the money stays in town. But let’s break that down a bit…..

According to Fundera, “small businesses generate $68 of local economic return for every $100 spent with them.” On the other hand, it’s estimated that for every $100 spent at a large business, only $43 stays in the community, according to the Civic Economics Study in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

We enjoyed a great Lunch Mob at Sutter Buttes Brewing last month. If you haven't tried them yet, you must!

Sutter Buttes Brewing Rooted in a town of agriculture and industry, they pride themsleves on releasing beers about the areas heritage and diverse history. Their signature Water Tower IPA is a testament to the founding days of our little city and is a beacon to the remodeled downtown shopping district of Yuba City.
