Sales for the community guide and membership directory being produced for the Plano Chamber of Commerce are underway. The Chamber is working with VillageProfile.com, Inc., which has been working with the Chamber since 2008.
The updated guide and membership directory will be published next spring. The 10,000 printed copies will be distributed throughout Plano and the surrounding area, to visitors, and to individuals and businesses inquiring to the Chamber about relocation.
The Chamber is taking part in the Village Profile™ Convergence Publishing Program®, the only one of its kind available to Chambers of Commerce. In addition to the printed version, all editorial content and advertisements will be published online as a NewView eBook® at the Village Profile™ Community Profile Network® website at www.villageprofile.com. The online publication will link from the Chamber's Community Profile Network® website to advertisers' own websites.
The eBook is downloadable free to computer desktops and most wireless devices. The searchable membership directory will be accessible via smartphones, web-enabled cell phones and similar wireless devices at www.vpmobile.us.
The Village Profile™ community portal garnered nearly 24 million hits in 2008 and 2,342,900 page views -- nearly 1.7 million of which were unique page views. The vpmobile.us site had 4,333,000 hits in 2008. Since 1996, the site has seen nearly 220,000,000 hits from Internet locales around the world and from all manner of users: education, government, business, individual, organization, and of course, .coms.
Advertising in your Chamber publication has even more advantages. According to a national study recently conducted by the Atlanta-based marketing company, The Schapiro Group, "consumers are 63 percent more likely to buy goods and services in the future from a company that they believe is a member of the local chamber" and "they are 44 percent more likely to think favorably about" the business. The report further concluded that, "When business decision makers believe that a business is a chamber member" they are "59 percent more likely to buy goods and services from it."
Businesses interested in advertising should call Village Profile™ representative Steven Gimbut at the Chamber office, 972-424-7547.

What is a Chamber of Commerce? A Chamber
of Commerce is a voluntary organization that unites businesses and professional people in an effort to expand the economy of an area. It must be understood that a Chamber of Commerce is PEOPLE. There is a place in the Chamber for members to get involved and accomplish collectively what no one of them could do alone, thereby creating a pool of resources from which to draw ideas, energies and finance. Today, Chambers of Commerce have become community organizations which recognize all the factors that affect their community and adjust their programs accordingly.
What a Chamber is NOT... A Chamber of Commerce is not a department of the city, county or state governments; a social, service or charitable institution; a private advertising, publicity or public relations agency.
