This Month Showcased Website is:  Irwindale Chamber of Commerce

By Richard Scully

Dear Customers,

We are working on some very exciting technology partnerships.

These partnership will ultimately provide Chamber of Commerce executives with new options (to approve) in order to use member business information to power some very robust broadcasting options - expanding your ability to promote members beyond the Chamber website and network.

Always keep in mind that in this highly connected electronic world that "He who owns the information wins" and this means that the Chamber of Commerce is in a very unique situation. 

From our experience, there are two types of Chamber of Commerce customers.... one is the customer who views their technology as a good way to manage the Chamber and the others are looking at ways to leverage the vast potential of the Chamber information to greatly expand the reach of their community.

Both kinds of customers equally benefit today from what we are doing at Chamber Nation, but those Chambers looking to really push the broadcastiing limits may begin to appreciate the options we are now working on and will be presenting in the near future*.

We discovered that once we added the new SEARCH TEST to the TCS area, many members have been using this module.  For this reason we decided to expand this area by adding NETWORK INFORMATION as well.

So in the members TCS Center there are two new options:

1.  THIS REPORT will show you what people are searching for through this network and NOT finding. If you see something on this list that you offer, please CLICK HERE to update your keywords.
