Traders in Halstead are being encouraged to get involved with their chamber of trade and learn the benefits of working together.
Halstead Chamber of Trade chairman Keith Grinsted said he his trying to make the chamber more prominent within the town.
He said: "We are trying to build up the role of the chamber of trade.
"There is currently a lot going on in the town, and as a chamber we are looking to link up with more traders and raise our profile in the town.
"In order to have more weight, we really need to attract more members."
The chamber is looking for people with new ideas and fresh input to liven things up and help promote the town's business interests.
The chamber's main aim is to promote the town to visitors, and to lobby the town and district council for things which would be in traders' interests and away from things which would be of detriment to business.
The Halstead Chamber of Trade and Commerce holds monthly meetings.
