The Chamber of Commerce realizes that most of the people today looking for information on a business or within a particular community do their research via the Internet. Most people who want to find very detailed information on the community often use the Chamber of Commerce's website to do this. This highly targeted traffic is now available to members in exchange for getting started and optimizing their online advertising program.

To expand the Chamber's reach, the Area Search Engine© is available for many communities that's powered by Google® and designed to showcase the members first and foremost. Participating members are impressed with its results, but before we can help you attract this traffic you MUST OPTIMIZE your advertising system. If you are interested in the complete plan please visit: www.memberbusinessplan.com and check out what other Chamber members are doing to grow their businesses! We are here to work for you and are offering our members a free training to learn how to launch and manage your very own Member Advertising System and website.  We are offering two upcoming classes; Thursday, May 20th from 7pm-8pm or Friday, May 21st from 10am-11am, pick one class and register online to reserve your seat.  Space is lmited and a reservation is required.  The classes will be held in our new Chamber office location at 6726 Providence Street, next to Divine Reflections.
