Going to the NEXT Level... Are You Ready? 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*. read more... | Monthly Call In Number and Screen Sharing Instructions National Online Customer Meeting This WednesdayDay: Wednesday, Date: September 1, 2010 Time: 11:00 AM (PST) 12:00 PM (MST) 1:00PM (CST) 2:00PM (EST) Join the meeting steps listed below: Wednesday Module Training-Getting the most from your Multi-Post System Multi-Post Technology - Now with LinkedIn Support
Is Facebook and iTunes the new AOL ("Walled Garden") model we'll all be forced to accommodate going forward?
SPECIAL GUEST today is: Eric Lennane who is the Account Executive with Fuze Meeting. We will be adding conferencing options to the TCS center and he'll be sharing a bit about that. First Major Mobile App Deal Almost Done!
Last month I sent all of you a letter through the newsletter about our intent to start establishing deals with highly successful applications. Today we are pleased to announce an agreement to begin to incorporate the We Rewards Buy Local Program ("BLP Special Edition") application into the Chamber Nation platform. This is no ordinary application and has shown major success with both Dominos Pizza and Pepsi. This application could have major implications on how Chamber of Commerce executives approach the community on buying locally. Just as Domino's and Pepsi are using it to build their wealth, it should have the same affect on small business owners which will directly impact your Chamber community. A great deal of thought has gone into our strategy and will remain very APP selective. Only dealing with applications that will be valuable to your members and the Chamber of Commerce community. This is the next logical step in our quest to help Chambers of Commerce become the most "Trusted Source" for local "MOBILE INTERACTIVE" information. We believe this is also the next logical step in coordinating the power of our new Buy Local Program with the latest "Check In" technology people are raving about. We have worked hard to be sure this delivers better value to your members versus going direct through iTunes or the Google Apps store for this type of advanced marketing solution. This edition will be better and offer bonuses to members ONLY, plus we'll support the application through the Free Members Support center... try that through iTunes!! read more...
