The Mount Prospect Chamber of Commerce allows businesses to take advantage of its downtown storefront window with an opportunity to rent it for display purposes. This location is passed by 22,000 vehicles and 5,000 METRA train riders daily and can be rented for the month for just $100. As of October, the Chamber may still accommodate members who wish to rent in 2010 from June to December. The first five months of the year are already booked.

Mark Paradise, owner of Sunshine Daydream Hippie General Store at 2027 E. Euclid Avenue, reported an increase in sales during the month of December shortly after he rented the window in 2008.

Members are encouraged to sign up to sponsor windows a few months in advance. Other businesses that have taken advantage of this opportunity this year include the Mt. Prospect Park District, B & E Accounting Service, Inc., Capannari Ice Cream, Mount Prospect Child Care, U Keep Us in Stitches, Inc.  and State Farm Insurance Agent Tim Ratigan.

The Mount Prospect Chamber of Commerce seeks to promote, support and enrich the local business community through the delivery of quality services, effective communication and through the establishment of partnerships with individuals, community organizations, fellow chamber members and governmental bodies.
