A Message from Aviva Gordon, HCC Board Chair

Chairperson of the Henderson Chamber of Commerce

On July 1, 2021, I will have the distinct honor of becoming the Chairperson of the Henderson Chamber of Commerce. As I look back on my journey with the Chamber, I am overwhelmed at the opportunities I have been afforded and the experiences I have enjoyed. 


I joined in 2012. At that time, I was advised to (a) ask to become a member of the Issues Committee and (b) apply for Leadership Henderson. Although the Issues Committee has evolved significantly from its format in 2012, I knew from my very first meeting that serving in a role in the Chamber’s advocacy efforts would be the best way to contribute to the growing and vibrant organization. I have served on the Issues Committee (advocating on federal and regional matters on behalf of the Chamber members) since 2012, including the privilege of being its Chairperson for several years. 


I followed the second piece of advice with as much enthusiasm. I interviewed and had the tremendous opportunity to enroll in the Leadership Henderson Class of 2013. Through this renowned program, I learned more about the City of Henderson, its businesses, non-profits and community partners than I ever thought possible. Additionally, I became entrenched with some of the finest people in Southern Nevada. 


I was able to further spread my advocacy reach commencing in 2013 when I was invited to serve on the Legislative Committee. I have now served on this elite and impactful committee for five legislative sessions. I have been the Chairperson since 2017. The work this Committee does to advocate on behalf of the nearly 1800 Chamber members and the tens of thousands of employees of those members is, perhaps, the most rewarding work I have done within our community. In this capacity, the Chamber expresses and influences policy that benefits the small business community which, of course, is the backbone of our economy. 


Being able to Chair the Henderson Chamber as we regain normalcy after the pandemic will be a challenge, but I think the greatest opportunity. Building our business community back and increasing its strength and vitality will be my primary focus. To that end, during my tenure, the Henderson Chamber will be relaunching the Henderson Business Resource Center – the oldest business incubator in the State of Nevada. The Henderson Chamber of Commerce will continue its path of providing a pathway to affordable health insurance through its Association Health Plan. The Chamber will continue to fortify its strategic partnerships with other stakeholders within the business community as well. 


While the Henderson Chamber of Commerce has always provided great opportunities in marketing businesses and networking opportunities, I am most excited to further our advocacy on behalf of and with our members. The Chamber’s footprint on local, regional, state and federal issues has grown so much since I first joined in 2012. I am thrilled to have the opportunity to assist the Chamber and its members in growing it even more.

A Message From President & CEO, Scott Muelrath
By Tim Knifton from RSVP Las Vegas January 23, 2025
Postcards can be a great way to tell people about your business, but sometimes they don’t work the way you want them to. If you’ve sent postcards and didn’t get the results you hoped for, don’t worry! There are a few reasons why that might have happened. Here are three reasons why your postcards might not be working and what you can do to fix them. 1. Your Picture Doesn’t Show the Message Quickly When people look at a postcard, they don’t spend a lot of time on it. If your picture doesn’t show them what your business can do right away, they might not even bother reading the words! The picture should tell them exactly what you’re offering in just a couple of seconds. What to do about it: Pick a picture that shows exactly what you’re offering. If you’re selling toys, use a photo of the toys. If you’re selling a service, show how it helps people. Make sure the picture makes the message clear so people don’t have to think about it for too long. 2. There’s Too Much Stuff on the Postcard Sometimes, people think if they add more information to a postcard, it will help. But if there’s too much stuff, it can make the postcard confusing. People might get overwhelmed and not know what to do next. That means they might throw it away. What to do about it: Keep your message simple. Tell people one main thing about your business. Use a few words and make it easy to understand. Focus on one thing you want them to know or do, like “Call us today for a free trial!” or “Visit our website to get your discount!” That’s all they need to know! 3. You Tried to Make It Yourself Instead of Getting Help A lot of people try to make their own postcards. But if you don’t know how to design them well, the postcards might not look professional. A postcard that’s messy or hard to read will make people ignore it. What to do about it: Get help from a professional. They know how to make postcards look good and get people’s attention. A designer can make sure your postcard is easy to read and looks nice. They’ll help you say the right thing in the right way so more people will want to take action. Conclusion If your postcards aren’t working, don’t give up! By choosing a clear picture, keeping the message simple, and getting help from a professional, you can make postcards that grab people’s attention and get the results you want.

In 2025, even though digital marketing is everywhere, direct mail is making a big comeback! Here are three reasons why sending postcards is still a smart choice for businesses: 1. Direct Mail Stands Out in a Crowded World When you check your email, you probably get tons of messages—maybe over 30 in an hour! But when you get physical mail, you only get a few pieces a day, so postcards are much easier to notice. They stand out and grab your attention right away! 2. Reach People Who Aren’t Always Online Not everyone spends all their time online. Direct mail postcards are great because they can reach people who don’t use the internet much, like older, wealthier demographics. This means postcards can connect with people that digital ads miss. 3. Physical Postcards Are Easy to Understand Digital ads can be confusing or take time to understand, but postcards are simple. You can read them quickly and get the message right away. It’s easy to remember, so people are more likely to act on it. In a world full of digital ads, postcards offer a fun, easy, and smart way for businesses to reach people in 2025. Book an Appointment and Get 5,000 Free Postcards!
