​People are using the internet to find everything...
We know that Google, Bing, and other search engines manage the world's internet information . . . You can find just about anything online today, from funny cat videos to the best restaurants in town. However, when local communities and their local businesses aren’t documented online, a hole where the community should be gets filled with search results for everything BUT the local community. Thanks to The Parks Chamber's new technology tools, our members' businesses are indexed by both Google and Bing so the public will find them online - both inside and outside of our own community!
The Parks Chamber is the first organization in the region to provide these innovative technology tools for members that are used by hundreds of chambers and tens-of-thousands of members in over 40 states! 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 timely resources to help members promote products and services online.
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 of $49.95, 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.
CUSTOMIZED 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 formatted 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.
