One of the most important factors of a successful chamber of commerce is a strong on-line presence.
A powerful and effective website is a must for our industry. Not only is it important to our membership, it serves as one of the front doors to our region. Our website, capechamber.com, offers tremendous value to our membership and great information for everyone.
Two of the most frequently used areas are the Business Directory and the Calendar of Events. The Directory is used by both members and non-members as they seek contact names and scope of services for chamber member businesses. This is an important benefit of membership as direct referrals occur regularly.
The Calendar of Events keeps chamber members up-to-date with educational and networking opportunities. Online registration is a snap and event participation is growing steadily.
But wait, there’s more. Did you know our site also provides a list of major employers, service clubs, relocation information, a rental guide, a worship directory, and even a job postings section? In addition, regional demographic information and other economic development related data are available. And, of course, direct links are provided to Visit Cape and the Cape Girardeau Area MAGNET.
In previous segments, we have discussed a partner website for talent recruitment – capeishome.com. This provides another strong, online presence for our area and is being used by members and non-members for employee attraction.
