Quincy Chamber of Commerce

What Quincy Chamber of Commerce does

The Quincy Chamber of Commerce is a nonprofit membership organization serving local businesses in Quincy, Massachusetts, and the broader South Shore region. Operating from 1400 Hancock Street (9th Floor) in Quincy, the Chamber functions as the central convening hub for a horizontal mix of local customers — restaurants, professional services firms, non-profits, market vendors, wellness operators, photographers, real estate brokerages, and small-to-mid-size employers — connecting them through networking events, a shared business directory, and community programming. Civic positioning is reinforced through Quincy's 400th-anniversary commemoration and visible co-sponsorship with the City of Quincy.

Core products and the underlying platform are organized around four digital services and a portfolio of recurring flagship events. The digital layer runs on the licensed ChamberMaster/GrowthZone membership management platform, which powers the Member Directory, Event Calendar (with ticketed registration), unlimited Job Postings for members, and the Member-to-Member Deals / Hot Deals marketplace for inter-member discounts. The event layer centers on four flagship programs: the Taste of Quincy Food Festival (annual culinary event at the Adams Inn), the Kilroy Square Farmers Market (weekly, June–October seasonal run with food trucks, live music, yoga, and a beer garden), the Kilroy Square Vintage Market, and the newly launched Kilroy Square Holiday Market — together generating promotional value for members and direct ticketing and vendor-fee revenue for the Chamber. Marketing spans a website, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, X, YouTube, member email, in-person events, and a member-referral deals channel.

The business model is predominantly subscription-recurring, anchored by tiered annual membership dues priced from $250 (Kilroy Square Market Vendors) to $1,250 (125+ FTE employers), with five standard tiers between $350 and $1,000 based on full-time headcount. Secondary revenue streams include event ticket sales (e.g., $40 adult / $25 youth at Taste of Quincy), vendor booth fees for the Kilroy Square markets, and corporate sponsorships from a visible roster that includes Harvard Pilgrim, City of Quincy, Bank of Canton, South Shore Bank, South Shore Health, NFPA, Boston Scientific, Eastern Bank, Rockland Trust, and Marriott Boston Quincy. The go-to-market motion is sales-led: members are acquired via direct outreach, community events, and referrals, with self-serve online enrollment through business.thequincychamber.com and direct contact routed through the Senior Director of Events & Membership (Celia Hussey).
