Chandler Chamber of Commerce (www.chandlerchamber.com)
This online shopping mall is a terrific opportunity for the small businesses of the Chandler, Arizona area, as it allows them a tremendous amount of exposure that would otherwise be unavailable to them.
Each participating company is a member of the Chamber of Commerce, and is provided not only with a web presence, but also a shop in this online version of a Chandler mall. They each maintain their own control over their products, services, orders, taxes, and shipping, while sharing a “shopping cart” with the other shops – other Chamber of Commerce members – within the mall.
Furthermore, the businesses are provided with their own “Talking Logos” which allows them to give a personal touch to an online experience. Businesses can use this tool to share their message in their own words and with their own voices.
Customers of the Chamber mall take advantage of the chance to do all of their shopping in one place, without having to go through a different checkout for every item. Nowhere else in state Arizona has this kind of opportunity arisen both for either the small business community or the shopping customers.
Calling itself the “most effective marketing, networking, and referral opportunity currently available in the area”, it would indeed be difficult to challenge such a claim considering all of the benefits it offers the small businesses in the Chandler area, as well as the people who wish to patronize them.
The Chandler mall at chandlerchambercommunity.com is the result of a brilliant collaboration between the Chandler Chamber of Commerce and DigiCard Design. Starting with the Chandler DigiCard (a digital business card that looks like a business card but that can be played in a CD-ROM drive), the concept quickly grew into an all encompassing Chandler community business experience. Both the Chamber and DigiCard anticipate exceptional successes with the project based on the heavy interest that has already developed for participation.
Registration for both the Chandler mall and its Talking Logos continues for Chandler Chamber of Commerce members at the chandlerchambercommunity.com site
