The site also features a “Spend to Give” section that allows consumers to donate a portion of every purchase to a desired local charity. Additionally, Michigan Deals delivers a social dynamic for users to rate and review their experiences with local businesses and create their own virtual coupon book based on likes and interests.
Dan DeKorne, President of Michigan Deals, finds great value in the Chamber’s member connection offerings. “The Chamber helps create a healthy business environment and is dedicated to working with their members and helping connect them. I specifically enjoy taking advantage of their Business Exchange Luncheons,” says DeKorne.

Carol Wagen, CEO and co-owner of Metal Art Studio Fine Jewelry, finds a significant value in working with other Chamber members. “What I value most about being a Chamber member is my CEO Roundtable.

It reminds me how diverse the clients are who come into my store.”
