Friends of The Parks Chamber,
We’re proud to provide NEW and innovative technology - like search-engine optimized Website Landing Pages, Mobile Web Apps, a Text Messaging Tool, and an E-Commerce System - to help businesses promote products and services online.
The Parks Chamber is the first organization in the region to provide this technology to help our members' business thrive. We know Google, Bing, and other search engines manage the world's information. We also understand that life gets busy, technology can be expensive, and it's often hard to know what kind of information should be promoted. We're here to help!
If you think about it, chambers of commerce started as brick-and-mortar lobbies, where residents and visitors could research - in person or by phone - information about local businesses. In today’s digital economy, chambers need to offer modern resources. Our new technology is used by hundreds of chambers and tens-of-thousands of businesses in over 40 states!
Please see the details below, attached, and online HERE. ♦ Current chamber members can upgrade for a discounted, one-time technology setup fee of $19.95. ♦ If you join us as a new member, your one-time setup fee of $49.95 will include these benefits and more!
Members with technology benefits can expect to receive a call from Parks Chamber volunteer Becky Dodd Pena, who will review your customized technology with you (like your search-engine optimized Website Landing Page, Mobile Web App, Text Messaging Tool, and E-Commerce System), explain how you can maximize these tools and promote them in your advertising and marketing, and answer your questions.
Our goal is to help ensure that your business is documented and indexed for Internet searches on all major search engines, that you're using the latest technology available to promote and sell your products and services online, and that you're seeing measurable results!
Sincerely, Tonya Lamia Executive Director
TECHNOLOGY SUPPORT SPECIALISTS
We understand that life gets busy, technology tools can be expensive, and it's often hard to know what kind of information should be promoted. For a one-time technology setup fee, The Parks Chamber’s dedicated team of Documentation Assistants do the work for you! Our goal is to be sure that our members’ businesses are documented and indexed for Internet searches on all major search engines, and detailed monthly activity reports verify a conservative monthly cash value of potential customers driven to your business through these new technology tools. CUSTOM WEBSITE LANDING PAGE
Over 51% of smartphone users have discovered a new company or product while conducting a search on their smartphone. To help ensure your business gets discovered, your Documentation Assistant will design a customized, search-engine-optimized, and mobile-responsive Website Landing Page that serves as a micro-site for small businesses that currently need a web presence, which also links to existing websites and social media accounts for members with an active web presence. Your new, custom Landing Page is also promoted and linked in the Member Directory at ParksChamber.com and in the new regional business directory at 815OpenForBusiness.com. MOBILE WEB APP
70% of web traffic occurs on mobile devices. Are you giving consumers the mobile experience they demand? Thanks to technology tools provided through The Parks Chamber, potential customers using a mobile device will enjoy your new Mobile Web APP, which automatically formats the same content from your Website Landing Page into a properly designed and easy-to-navigate APP. As mobile devices are rapidly replacing desktop computers for internet searches, a mobile publishing system for your business is needed now more than ever. Through The Parks Chamber, we’ve got you covered! TEXT MESSAGING TOOL
Parks Chamber members can also use our simple Text Messaging Technology to promote their businesses and manage real-time customer communications. By texting your custom Keyword to 72727, customers will receive an automated response with a link to visit your Mobile Web APP. At the same time, you will receive automated messages with each customer’s cell phone number, which allows you to follow-up via text message or phone call. It’s that simple! E-COMMERCE SYSTEM FOR SELLING ONLINE
77% of smartphone shoppers are more likely to purchase from companies whose mobile websites or APPS allow them to make purchases quickly; therefore, The Parks Chamber is now providing a FREE, fast, and simple E-Commerce System so members can begin selling products and services online. This new system will be fully integrated into your customized Website Landing Page and Mobile Web APP, and you’ll receive login access to regularly add, update, and manage items for sale. The best part? You can choose to process payments online through Paypal, or customers can place orders without payment and then pay you directly when picking up their orders at your location. This technology tool also allows you to offer curbside pickup, regular pickup, and shipping options. COUPON CREATOR (NEW!)
The Parks Chamber now provides a Coupon Creator, which allows you to post coupons on the chamber's website. A sharing button then makes it easy for you to promote the coupon link on social media. On your custom coupon page, visitors can select a button to print or share the coupon with contacts via an email forwarding tool. New visitors can also register to join the chamber's coupon email list. RETURN ON INVESTMENT (ROI) REPORT
Each month, you will receive automated Return on Investment (ROI) reports that verify a conservative monthly cash value of potential customers driven to your business through these new technology tools. Detailed monthly activity reports also include information that can help determine what you might want to expand selling or just promoting online. The point here is that we want to be sure the services provided with your subscription is working to help promote your business. MEMBER LOGIN ACCESS TO MORE!
Along with these technology tools, you can update your company and contact information, post events to the Community Calendar, pay your member dues, AND MORE by clicking Member Login in the main menu at ParksChamber.com. We know this is a lot of information to absorb. Don’t worry, our team of Documentation Assistants will do the work for you.
