In the Loop Guidelines

The DeKalb Chamber of Commerce provides members with valuable information and connections to help you be more informed. The Business Vitality Committee of the DeKalb Chamber has created an avenue to better educate our members that do not have the time or resources to stay up with or learn about everything that might affect the area and/or their business or organization and help keep you in the loop. The “In the Loop” videos are 2 to 3-minute videos that will provide information to allow our members to be better informed through getting answers directly from the sources to avoid confusion or misinformation.

Topics will consist of tips, answers to important questions and any knowledge that would be helpful to fellow members. Some of the topics will tap into the depth of knowledge that our members possess and will provide valuable information to you, as a member. Ideas for topics for “In the Loop” videos are requested from our members and should be submitted for consideration within the following guidelines:

Guidelines

  • Topics must be relevant to local businesses
  • Topics should help answer frequently asked questions concerning businesses and organizations
  • Videos should help answer questions on new laws or ordinances affecting businesses
  • Videos can help clarify something often misunderstood by business owners or operators
  • This is not an advertisement or promotion for any product, service, brand or business
  • The focus of these videos is on information involving the topic and not an endorsement supporting or against an issue
  • Topics should not reference any business name
  • No political comments or statements allowed
