What Sequatchie County does

The Sequatchie County/Dunlap Chamber of Commerce is a nonprofit Chamber of Commerce headquartered at 15643 Rankin Ave in Dunlap, Tennessee, serving Sequatchie County and the city of Dunlap. Its core service is a community engagement platform built on the Locable technology stack, comprising a categorized member business directory (Dining, Retail, Services, Churches/Non-Profits, Government/Civic Organizations, Manufacturing, Education, Attractions/Lodging), a community calendar now aggregating 288 events, a news and member-spotlight section, and the THRIVE Sequatchie 501(c)(3) charitable arm that coordinates community development initiatives including Shop With A Hero, the Dunlap Heritage Festival, Heritage Farms Program, Gateway Monument, and the Sequatchie Valley National Scenic Byway tourism liaison. The Locable platform also powers a Local Connections cross-promotion network that automatically distributes member events, offers, and job postings across participating local websites.

The Chamber commercializes its services through a six-tier annual membership program pricing Individual membership at $25, Nonprofit at $50, Silver Business at $100, Gold Business at $200, Platinum Business at $500, and Premier Business at $1,000, with tiered benefits including Chamber event invitations, guest allocations ranging from 0 to 10, and marketing/advertising support. A secondary revenue stream consists of donations to THRIVE Sequatchie. The customer base is fragmented across local small and mid-size businesses, 501(c)(3) organizations, churches, civic organizations, schools, financial institutions, manufacturers, and individual citizens, with Premier tier members representing the largest employers (manufacturing). The go-to-market is community-led, with digital engagement through the Locable website, email newsletter, Chamber events and dinners, and earned-media promotion via the Scenic Byway partnership; the Chamber serves a single city/county geography in the Sequatchie Valley region with no disclosed expansion beyond.
