Calendar & Event Management
Chamber staff is able to create and promote an event online
more simply than ever. We provide your chamber with everything
you need to announce and promote an event in one convenient
location. The event calendar will let visitors click on the
date and go to a page for more information on the chosen event
and download the event into their own personal calendar. All
event pages can have their own custom SEO for optimal search
engine ranking. This will drive more traffic to the chamber
website and make it an even more valuable community resource.
The event calendar can also have a small “inset”
on the site where visitors click on the date and go to a page
for more information on the chosen event. All event pages
are specially coded for optimal search engine ranking. This
will drive more traffic to the chamber website and make it
an even more valuable community resource. The community will
begin to go to the chamber website for its first source of
local information.
You can create a web page that provides detailed information
about the event, and set up a form that makes it easy for
people to register or purchase tickets online. You can then
send out invitation emails to the event. This process streamlines
and automates the entire process, enabling you to create,
promote, and collect registration information for events all
in one place.
Local Chamber News & Community Press Releases
Create news articles and press releases about your chamber
and/or the local community. Visitors can click on links to
see more information on each news article. News pages rank
well in search engines because of the keywords coded into
the web page. This will drive more traffic to the chamber
website and make it a valuable community resource. News pages
are completely customizable with pictures and links.
