FORUM for Business is Going Digital
07
Starting in May the Forum will
only be available to view digitally. The
digital magazine will have its own email
distribution at the beginning of every
month and will be featured on the website,
Forum 2.0 and social media outlets such as
Facebook and Twitter.
The digital Forum offers businesses
added opportunities to reach their target
audience by creating clickable links to take
viewers straight to the source. These links
make the viewing process interactive and
engaging while sharing up to three times
the information.
These new changes allow the Chamber
the opportunity to offer the same benefits
while potentially saving money in other
ways. The funding usually allocated to the
printing publications will be distributed
to backing long term programs that will
benefit the community.
By offering a new look to the magazine
with more benefits helps to promote the
Chamber’s publication while also offering
advertisers an added bonus to promoting
their business.
