The next major technology initiative intended to bolster the Chamber’s mission is the launch of the Chamber’s new Web site, www.greenvillnc.org. In today’s world, the Chamber realizes its internet address can be more important than its physical address. In fact, according to surveys, 69.16 percent of the Chamber’s membership uses the Web site and it receives around 10,000 hits per month. With the use of the Web site at an all time high, a top of the line Web site for the Chamber is essential to the Greenville and Pitt County area.
The new site, which will be more visually appealing and more convenient for visitors, is intended to provide the community with pertinent information about the Chamber and its members, and Greenville and Pitt County through high-tech software. It will be maintained through a web-based content management system that will allow the Chamber to update the entire site from the confines of its office.
The new site will provide members with better exposure, access to a “members only” section which allows them to register for events, purchase Chamber publications and update their business information in a more efficient manner. They will also have access to a calendar of events, community statistics, chamber news, and links to other helpful community Web sites. In addition, the new Web site will allow the Chamber to explore the additions of message boards, online videos, etc.
Overall, the new greenvillenc.org strengthens the Chamber’s mission by helping the Chamber as it strives to serve as the “voice of business” and the “front door” to Greenville and Pitt County.
