OUR NEW ONLINE DIRECTORY HAS LAUNCHED! JUST ONE MORE REASON THAT THE MIDWAY CHAMBER IS THE BEST DEAL IN TOWN!

Some of you may have noticed that we have launched our new online directory! We’d like to thank all of the members who have donated the optional $50 in dues for making it possible for us to launch this great new addition to the services we provide our members.

This new directory is far more feature rich than the previous directory, allowing you to search not only by company name, but by street, area, contact name and more. You can also connect with people via their social networks, upload logos, download vcards, and much more!

Currently, every member organization is listed in the directory. However, only one rep is in each listing and there is no logo set for the companies. But you can fix this today! One of the most convenient features of the new directory is that you can now manage your own listing. This form will guide you through how it is done.

1. Go to midwaychamber.com/directory
2. Search for your company and open the listing.
3. You should see a page that looks like the image at the bottom of this post.
4. On the right hand side, click Claim Listing.
5. This will prompt you to Log-In. Odds are, we have already created an account for you, so click on the password reminder and enter your email. If you have an account your password will be sent to you. If you do not, go back and create an account.
   1. If you need to create an account, a request will be sent to the chamber. Once it has been approved, go and claim your listing and follow the steps.
   2. If your password is sent to you, use it to login
   3. There will be a comment section and a captcha to fill out. Once you submit your claim, I can approve it.

1. Once you Login, there will be a menu on your left hand side. Click Listings. Here you should find your listing. On the right there is an icon you can click to edit the listing.
2. Then it’s simply a matter of filling in the fields. Feel free to browse your other options in the main menu as well. You can change your password and control many more options regarding your account and listing
3. Of course, if you have any questions at all, feel free to call or email the chamber – info@midwaychamber.com or 651-646-2636.

COMING SOON

This is just an initial release of the directory. We are planning on rolling out more features over the next few months, including:

• The option to add additional Representatives to your listing
• The ability to advertise on the directory with banner ads on both the top and side of the page
• The option to offer deals/promotions to members
• Make your listing a featured listing and get key placement on the home page of the directory
• And more!

There are lots of amazing and powerful features that will become available with this directory. We will keep you all apprised of when we will be rolling these new features out.

I’ve had many requests for more information on Matt Kramer’s presentation at last week’s luncheon at O’Gara’s. He has warned us that any list of resources he put together for us will quickly go out of date, given how much stuff is going on at the U. He asks that anyone interested in learning more visit www.business.umn.edu.

For those who would like to see the slideshow though, and get a more specific look at some of the services offered by the U, you can see it here – Univeristy of MN Business Resources.
