Frequently ABOUT THE MERCER COUNTY CONSUMER NETWORK What benefits do members get? What marketing expertise do you offer? I have some ideas on how to better the network. Are you open to them? Is membership in the MCCN free? Do your periodic meetings cost me anything if I've already paid my membership fees? You call yourself a consumer network, yet all your members are businesses. What's up? How do you handle complaints about your members? If I do not feel like I'm getting my money's worth out of the network, what can I do? Isn't it a conflict of interest that some members don't actually live or work in Mercer County?

Can anyone become a member?
The MCCN serves all of Mercer County, Pa. Every business is encouraged to take advantages of our various services, which include consultation, marketing, print and web design, editing, web hosting, and domain name registration.
Members have access to a variety of perks through the MCCN. Being part of the MVPList provides a business with a client profile on our exclusive directory, access to other members through our virtual network, and invitation to our periodic meetings to discuss timely issues and share ideas. Members also receive the recognition due them as being among the most highly regarded businesses in the county.
The principals of MCCN, Bob Chamberlain and Mike Murray, both have extensive marketing backgrounds, including sales, sales coaching, public relations, advertising, print and web design, and the development of marketing campaigns.
Definitely! The network belongs to all involved. If you have suggestions or ideas, you don't have to wait until a periodic meeting. Schedule a meeting with us, drop us an email, or give us a call. We want to hear your ideas!

No.
We believe the best way to help the consumers of Mercer County is by supporting our local businesses. They healthier they are, the better that will be for area consumers. We want the honest business person to succeed and demand that our membership treat their customers and clients fairly and with uncompromised respect.
The MCCN does not dictate how businesses run their day-to-day operations, nor do we have the authority to mediate customer complaints. However, if a negative situation arises, we will contact that member to find out the details. If we can suggest a resolution, we will do so. Businesses that do not abide by the articles of membership can be dismissed from the Network.
Are you taking advantage of the virtual network? Are you actively sending referrals to other members? Anyone who joins the MCCN agrees to support the entire network. That is how we all succeed. You may also approach us or other members for advice.
Some professionals do have offices outside of Mercer County. However, they do have strong ties to making Mercer County successful. That is our ultimate goal: the success of the members and the community as a whole. While we focus on Mercer County, some communities border Ohio and other counties. There may be logical interaction in those instances, such as with Brookfield, Ohio, a very close neighbor.
