North Central Chamber of Commerce and eMarketing4us Announce Partnership
New Self-Paced Educational Platform offers Internet Marketing Training and Services To Entrepreneurs and Business Owners
LEOMINSTER, MA – November 21, 2011 – The North Central Massachusetts Chamber of Commerce (NCMCC) and eMarketing4us announces an affinity program that will benefit new and existing members of the North Central Chamber of Commerce. This partnership will provide business owners with a competitive edge to Internet marketing by offering 24×7 access to a self-paced educational platform that offers progressive learning and practical “how-to†steps for growing businesses online.
“In today’s digital environment small businesses are faced with new challenges to sustain and grow their businesses. Most entrepreneurs and company owners are well versed in their own type of business, but may not know if their website or internet marketing is performing or how to effectively develop an online presence. We are very excited to announce this value-added affinity program to our members,†said David L. McKeehan, president of the North Central Chamber of Commerce. “At the Chamber, we understand the importance of the Internet and want to help our business members learn the how-to’s in establishing a strong web presence for their company. As part of the partnership, Chamber members will be able to take these reasonably-priced courses at a discount.â€
The self-paced “how-to†courses have been designed for the non-technical, non-marketing person.  Course categories include creating an effective website presence, search engine optimization, Internet marketing, and how to put together a social media marketing program that is right for your business.
“Our courses have been designed for entrepreneurs by entrepreneurs. We have carefully crafted the courses to be easily understood no matter the individual’s level of marketing expertise,so business owners can successfully master the material and immediately see results,†said Deborah Buckley, president and chief business advocate for eMarketing4us. “Marketing is key in building a company foundation and more and more companies are finding their customers online. Today’s business is not just a store front, it is a relationship with the customer, and that means engaging the customer through a variety of channels. The most visible and highly leveraged channel today is the Internet.
“eMarketing4us understands that not all businesses can afford to hire a marketing professional or an agency, so we have taken the knowledge of the marketing professionals and developed a easy-to-use, online learning platform that will enable entrepreneurs and business owners to learn at their own pace,†continued Buckley
