TESTIMONIALS

Jacobs Financial

We have loved with working with the Jacobs Financial team. Tyler is awesome. He has made everything super clear for us as we have navigated investing stuff for our team. Reach out for personal investing as well as help for compensation packages for your employees.

Blacklight Adventures

If you don’t like fun, team building, local business, laser tag, escaping from rooms, or snacks go somewhere else… if any of those are your thing you should go hang out with Jay, Tina, and their wonderful staff.

Mad Hatter Designs

Mad Hatter has helped us with a whole bunch of engraving and promotional materials. They are fast, efficient, and fairly priced. We have loved working with them over the last couple of years and would strongly recommend them.

Christian Kirmeier, Wits Realty

I have worked with Christian on a number of different real estate projects and I cannot recommend him highly enough. He does an incredible job of knowing and understanding what your needs are and then finding solutions for them.

Using Brian and his team for all of our business insurance was incredible. We have some complexity in our world and they handled every stitch of it with ease. I’d highly recommend Brian for all of your commercial insurance needs.

Fuzzy Loon Designs

As a fellow business in the promo and apparel space I truly value having Fuzzy Loon Designs as a partner. While we overlap in some areas, they’ve been fantastic to work with on projects where my traditional suppliers couldn’t provide solutions. Their creativity, flexibility, and commitment to quality have been a huge asset, and I appreciate having such a reliable resource to collaborate with.

Stay Clean Detailing – Alex Stay

I can’t say enough good things about Alex Stay at Stay Clean Detailing! Not only does he keep my car looking spotless every time, but he also went above and beyond by taking care of my daughter’s family car on overnight notice. I was thrilled and so were they! Alex’s attention to detail, reliability, and genuine care for his work truly stand out. It’s rare to find someone so dependable and accommodating. Thanks again, Alex, for making it so easy to be a loyal customer.

Julia at The Perfect Fit

I did a weightless challenge through the The Perfect Fit and along with that I decided to do group training. It was an amazing experience, learning and working out with Julia. The people I met and worked out with were all very amazing and supportive people! If you are struggling I recommend Julia at The Perfect Fit to get you started!

Ashley did a phenomenal job with the flowers for my wedding reception. She was easy to work with, and the flower arrangements were gorgeous! She also delivered the arrangements to the venue, making the day of the reception stress-free.

Blacklight Adventures

When planning an event for our team we thought of Blacklight. Tina was so easy to work with for scheduling and planning. We were greeted at the door and every detail was taken care of. We tried the Alien Escape Room (we didn’t escape), Laser Tag (LOTS of laughs there) and Mini Golf. Jay personally came over and thanked us for being there. The addition they added is beautiful and our event was a huge success. Thank you Blacklight Adventures for being a great place to meet up and have fun!

Moxie Creative

Moxie Creative is the place to go if you’re serious about leveling up your brand presence. I’ve been absolutely blown away by the detail, care, and passion their entire team brings to every project. Their logo design process is thoughtful, collaborative, and high-caliber — it’s the reason I refer everyone I know who’s looking to rebrand. The quality of their work speaks for itself, and the value they deliver is truly priceless.

Stop Go Studio

It has been great working with Stop Go, they’ve done a fabulous job coaching us through implementing an online marketing and content strategy and connecting us with the right equipment. They also give us great direction on how to record our videos and publish our content, as well as doing a great job of editing and making what we give them look good. It’s been a total game changer for our business!

Bravo Burrito

Working with the guys over at Bravo has been awesome – they have great food, and we work with them to make great shirts in return. They’ve been the guinea pig for my screen-printing process, giving me feedback and helping me develop my craft as a business and even as a person. I really appreciate working with them as a local small business.

ConnectAbility of Minnesota

A friend of mine was recently incapacitated and needed a wheelchair. We referred her to ConnectAbility on a Friday, and they actually delivered a motorized scooter the next day, outside of the St. Cloud area. It was above and beyond what we expected in terms of speed and we appreciated it for our friend so much. They truly support our community!

St. Cloud Area Chamber of Commerce

I was initially skeptical about joining Chamber and going to all these events, but I’ve met so many people, picked up tons of catering gigs, and love seeing my Chamber friends come in for lunch now. We’ve participated in a few Chamber events, and the crowd is always electric and energetic, we can’t wait to do it more. The value of our membership has been almost priceless!

Barry Kirchoff | Small Business Development Center

Years ago, as a grad student, I was disappointed when I missed the opportunity to attend Barry Kirchoff’s university course on consulting. But recently, I got the next best thing: one-on-one consulting from Barry himself. Barry’s years of consulting experience is reflected in the way he authentically delivers both technical and strategic advice, and it’s been a game changer for my practice. If you’re looking for a business consultant who’s not only knowledgeable but also deeply invested in your growth, Barry Kirchoff of the Small Business Development Center is the one to call.

Moxie Creative, Imprint Apparel, Switchboard

I couldn’t have launched my business without the help of some area St. Cloud Area Chamber of Commerce members. Moxie Creative did all of our branding and logo creation, Imprint Apparel helped us with branded logo wear and our offices are in the Apiary Coworking space, owned by the fine folks at Switchboard. With any business, but especially when opening a new business, my Chamber membership has been invaluable in finding trusted resources!
