Please excuse us as we try (in vain) to control our enthusiasm about our new BusinessConnect Tool! Seriously, it is a fantastic resource for our member businesses and the general public!
Here’s the gist of it: businesses and individuals can save time by posting requests online, and member businesses will respond directly to you to give you bids, estimates or provide the services requested! This delivers excellent opportunities for member businesses to drive sales, and Chamber staff monitor requests and responses from member businesses to ensure timeliness.
It’s truly painless. Just visit the Business Directory on www.RogersLowell.com. (While you’re there, be sure to check out the category listing of all our member businesses as well as the e-coupons!) Click on “Submit BusinessConnect Request” and put in all your wishes, and as soon as we receive it we will e-mail it to our members to respond. Trust us, you’ll want to bookmark the page: http://tinyurl.com/d5bdbg.One of our staff members used the BusinessConnect tool for a printing quote on business cards for her husband’s new venture. Within a couple of hours, they had detailed responses and quotes from five businesses, saving them dozens of phone calls. They commented on how impressed they were by the timely follow up on such a seemingly small request.Examples of requests using BusinessConnect might include printing bids, catering for an event or open house, home services and repairs or a banquet or meeting facility. Pretty cool, huh? We have always been proud of our ability to generate so many inquiries and potential business connections for our members, but this takes the “potential” part right out and leads to direct business opportunities. Love it!
