Bossier Chamber to publish 2013 community guide and directory | Business

The Bossier Chamber of Commerce says that sales for its upcoming community guide and membership directory are now underway. The guides are on target to print next summer, and will be distributed in and around the Chamber service area.

The forthcoming community guide and membership directory will act as a Chamber membership recruitment tool, community reference guide and informational relocation publication. The Chamber says the "customized publication will feature a refreshing writing style, coupled with eye-popping design and colorful pictures - grasping the distinct character of the community." The publication will also include a complete Chamber membership directory and/or comprehensive buyer's guide (categorical listing).

Advertising in the Bossier City community guide and membership directory has  advantages. The multi-platform advertising bundle goes beyond the traditional print publication to include: a community website and downloadable NewView eBook®, which converts the publication's editorial, pictures and design elements into a digital format; on-the-go wireless access via various web-enabled devices; and the searchable vpMobile.us® Business Directory Portal, featuring the Chamber's entire membership directory, available wirelessly, 24/7. Since 1996, the Village Profile® website has seen over 250,000,000 hits from Internet locales around the world and from all manners of users, and the vpmobile.us site totaled more than 8.4 million hits from 2011-2012. This considerable traffic will prove beneficial to the entire Bossier Chamber of Commerce community.

In addition, the Chamber's Village Profile® iPhone and Android App provides the Chamber, its members and advertisers access to their community in one touch, anytime, anywhere, from their handheld Smartphone devices. Downloadable from respective iPhone stores and the Android marketplace, the Village Profile® App is comparable to navigating through www.villageprofile.com, with features including the community publication cover graphic; links to editorial chapters; access to the advertiser directory complete with reciprocal links; one-click, GPS-driven directions to all Chamber advertisers' business locations; including direct dial and direct email capabilities.

This leading-edge, technologically advanced, royalty-generating publishing program is made possible through a partnership between the Bossier Chamber of Commerce and Chamber member Village Profile®, and is produced at NO COST to the Chamber.
