WebVisible Launches Program to Bolster Local Business' Online Presence, Strengthen Chamber of Commerce Membership
(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) IRVINE, CA, September 25 / MARKET WIRE/ --
WebVisible,
Inc., a worldwide leader in local online advertising, today announced
the availability of a new program designed to strengthen Chamber of
Commerce membership and extend the benefits of search engine marketing to
more local businesses. "Let Us Pay Their Dues" will be formally unveiled on
Sept. 25, 2008 at the Southern California Association of Chamber Executives
meeting in Orange, Calif. Under the program, WebVisible will pay yearly
chamber membership dues for businesses that invest in its ChamberClicks(TM)
Internet marketing services.
Introduced in the summer of 2007 and available through participating
chambers of commerce nationwide, ChamberClicks enables local businesses to
leverage the power of the Internet to find new customers. Managed by
WebVisible, the online marketing campaigns help local businesses
cost-effectively compete with larger companies by enabling them to be found
on search engines (Google, Yahoo!, MSN, Ask.com, and more). With a focus on
a proven return-on-investment for local business advertisers, ChamberClicks
also offers continuing Internet marketing education to aid chamber members
in their efforts.
Members of chambers that are enrolled in the ChamberClicks program will
have their dues paid when they invest in a one-year online advertising
campaign. "This is a win-win-win program for chambers, their members and
us," said Dave Brown, ChamberClicks program director at WebVisible.
"Chambers are a vital part of most local business communities, offering
valuable services and representation with state and local governments. A
recent study showed that when consumers know a small business is a member
of the chamber, they are 63 percent more likely to patronize that
business*. 'Let Us Pay Their Dues' helps local businesses realize the
advantages of chamber membership, while simultaneously gaining a strong
online presence and competitive edge. And it helps chambers strengthen
their member base."
In order to build and retain chamber membership, fresh ideas are welcome.
"The chamber is the best tool for business owners to meet with local
leaders and other businesses they may not otherwise be exposed to," said
Nancy Tilove, vice president of membership for the Irvine Chamber of
Commerce. "Through the chamber, members gain access to programs such as
ChamberClicks to help them better promote their businesses. This value-add
service in turn helps our efforts to attract and retain members." Russ
Lahodny, vice president of communications, added, "It's been a great
partnership for the Irvine Chamber and our members. Being able to provide
them with a service that helps generate business is crucial, and is the
main reason they join. I would encourage every chamber to partner with
WebVisible to offer their members the advantages of fully managed Internet
marketing campaigns through ChamberClicks."
Details and terms of the "Let Us Pay their Dues" program can be found on
the new website at www.chamberclicksexecutive.com. Also on the site is a
calendar of Webinar and "Lunch and Learn" events designed to educate
members on how to use the Internet to find new customers, as well as a
ChamberClicks video overview and list of participating chambers.
