Newsletter: January 12th

30/01/2026  |  No comments

This week’s newsletter opens with a look at what’s ahead for the new year, highlighting an upcoming networking mixer and opportunities for small business planning and growth. You’ll also find a warm welcome to a new mind-body fitness Pilates studio, along with member updates and upcoming events. We’re featuring a helpful small business taxes webinar, plus this week’s Member2Member spotlight from Silverlake Yoga.

Read more below:

The start of the year is a great time to refresh your marketing and take advantage of four seasonal moments in January that naturally resonate with customers and help build momentum for the months ahead.

1. New Year Reset Campaigns (January 1 and all month)

January is prime time for fresh-start messaging. Businesses can promote services or products that support healthier habits, better organization, financial planning, or personal and professional growth. This is a great month for reset packages, introductory offers, and free consultations that help customers take the first step toward their goals.

2. Customer Appreciation Promotions (National Thank You Month)

All of January is recognized as National Thank You Month, making it a natural time to reward loyal customers. Businesses can offer exclusive discounts for repeat clients, small thank-you gifts, loyalty bonuses, or early access to upcoming services and events. These gestures help strengthen relationships during a slower retail season and encourage long-term retention.

3. Community and Service-Focused Marketing (MLK Day – January 19)

Martin Luther King Jr. Day is widely recognized as a day of service and reflection. Businesses can participate by partnering with local nonprofits, donating a portion of sales, highlighting community causes, or offering special pricing to educators, volunteers, or nonprofit staff. Campaigns centered on giving back often resonate strongly with customers and reinforce a company’s local commitment.

4. Back-to-Routine Productivity Promotions (Mid to Late January)

After the initial New Year excitement fades, many people shift into routine-building mode. This is an ideal window for promoting services related to planning, maintenance, wellness consistency, business organization, and long-term scheduling. Messaging that focuses on staying on track, preparing for spring, or simplifying daily life tends to perform well during the second half of the month.

Mind Body Fitness Pilates Studio

Small Business Taxes for 2025 and 2026

Tuesday, January 13th at 10am

The focus will be on helping business owners make informed accounting and budgeting decisions as they close out 2025 and prepare for the next tax season. It is designed for sole proprietors, LLCs, and corporations looking to reduce liabilities and take advantage of available tax-saving opportunities.

Small Business Ideas for September

September brings several national holidays that offer natural opportunities to connect with your community. Here are a few thoughtful ways your business can join the conversation this month:

National Coffee Day (Sept 29)
Even if you’re not a coffee shop, you can join in by highlighting local spots you love, treating your team to a coffee break, or inviting customers to share their favorite neighborhood café. It’s a great way to strengthen community ties and support local.

National Hispanic Heritage Month (Sept 15 – Oct 15)
If you know of local events or organizations celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month, promote them in your newsletter or social media.

First Day of Fall (Sept 22)
Seasonal change is a great time for promotions. Whether it’s a fall menu item, a new product launch, or even a cozy fall-themed display, give your customers a reason to stop by.

Rebecca J Hansen Design Studio, based in Los Angeles, creates interiors that balance sophistication, warmth, and effortless livability. Blending bold and subtle elements with modern and vintage influences, the studio crafts thoughtfully composed spaces that reflect each client’s lifestyle. With a personalized yet seamless approach, Rebecca J Hansen transforms homes into inviting environments that are both timeless and refined.

Salt & Straw

**Chamber members receive a FREE scoop with the purchase of a scoop**

At Salt & Straw, they craft ice cream that tells a story about its ingredients, celebrating the farms, artisans and sustainable sources they come from. Every flavor reflects their hands-on approach as they cook, freeze, candy, sort, burn, smash, hand drizzle, ribbon, spoon and sprinkle each component with intention. By blending classic techniques with imaginative twists, they transform simple ingredients into complex textures and surprising combinations, creating ice cream that is as intriguing and unexpected as it is delicious.
