The Village Marketing Group (VMG) is a coalition of active business leaders who through group action bring together their combined marketing energies to heighten awareness of the Claremont Village as a destination resulting in a more vibrant Village with more profitable businesses.
That is the Group’s mission statement. VMG fulfills its mission and purpose; and brings added value to our community, through significant charitable contributions to our schools and to people in need. Projects like ‘Shoes That Fit’ provide children with needed shoes and backpacks filled with school supplies each year. Funds earned from Wine Walk support Band Booster and High School Theatre in our schools. VMG members participate in the Claremont College Parents and Student Welcome events each fall, helping ease the stress of parent-student separation, and helping students acclimate to their new surroundings. Since VMG’s inception in 2002, the Group has promoted public events designed to expand visibility of Claremont’s commercial and service operations. By Board Resolution in 2006, the Chamber established the VMG as a Standing Committee of the Board of Directors with representation on the Board. Their success has been readily measured by a growing attendance at Wine Walk, which saw more than 1,300 participants visit Claremont last fall.
In short, VMG is a group of energetic entrepreneurs whose goal is to advance the economic growth and stability of their businesses and therefore our City. VMG welcomes Claremont businesses to join them in their dedicated pursuit of economic prosperity and a superior quality of life for our residents.
Meets every first Tuesday from 8:00 am until 9:00 am at the City Council Chambers.
