Have you seen the Chamber’s web page lately? It’s like we need an electronic Ribbon Cutting!
Visit www.toccoagachamber.com and check out the new “Featured business page” with member’s pictures and articles, and the new Available Retail Property page, and the new banner advertisements and the new Hot Deals. Click on the new Face book page, LIKE us and then upload a picture of your store front and post your business news.
And finally, click on the Business Directory to see the new “enhanced” listings. These members are separating themselves from the competition - in their business category - and they can track their hits stats, too. They get a business logo next to their listing, 3 paragraphs about their business, 5 bullet points, 6 photos, 20 words to enhance their search-ability and they can edit as often as they wish. It’s that quick and easy – you could have a web page tomorrow! Let us help you enhance your online visibility. We’ll come to your business place and show you how to do it. Call us today!
