Exec Bits
The big news this week is that our new website (same address: www.codychamber.org) is live!
Recreated by local marketing company - Big Idea Advertising - the site is a significant improvement in look and functionality. Thanks for the great work Big Idea!
While we're still putting some finishing touches on it, a few noteworthy highlights include:
- A modern, attractive look with dominant photos on the homepage
- A clean, easy-to-use menu that gets customers to information quickly
- Prominent homepage modules of the content users access the most
- A mobile friendly version of the site
- The ability to find our members easily, which is the most important thing.
As I said, we have just launched it a couple of days ago, so we're still ironing out a few details, but if you have feedback please let us know. We think the site will be a great tool to connect with people who need your good or service.
We still have web ads available too, so please contact me if you're interested in taking advantage of that marketing opportunity.
Also, with the Cody Stampede just over a week away, I wanted to provide you with our visitor center hours during that time. We are expanding our normal Sunday and holiday hours to better accommodate our visitors.
Friday, June 29th - 8 a.m. - 6 p.m.
Saturday, June 30th - 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.
Sunday, July 1st - 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.
Monday, July 2nd - 8 a.m. - 6 p.m.
Tuesday, July 3rd - 8 a.m. - 6 p.m.
Wednesday July 4th - 8 a.m. - 6 p.m.
Finally, our next c2b (Cody Business Breakfast) will take place Friday, July 6 between 7:30 a.m. - 8:30 a.m. at the 8th Street Restaurant inside the new Best Western Ivy Hotel. Plan now to join us for a good chance to casually network with friends and colleagues in the Cody business community.
Have a great Cody Stampede and 4th of July!
Sincerely,
Scott Balyo
