"Can our busy, burgeoning chamber streamline web operations and save money?"

Located in northeast Georgia, the Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce is recognized as one of the largest and most successful chambers in the southeast, with a membership that spans metro Atlanta and its suburbs. In fact, Gwinnett County remains one of the fastest-growing counties in the United States and has led the state of Georgia in job creation for the past five years. With a large staff and an ever growing membership, the chamber needed a website that could keep up the pace, and ChamberExpress™ stepped up.

"Before ChamberExpress™, we were expending time and money to keep our site updated," says Demming Bass, vice president of marketing and public policy for the Gwinnett Chamber. "Now, online operations are streamlined, efficient and cost effective."

What functions have gotten easier or more efficient thanks to ChamberExpress™?

"Updating the website. Before ChamberExpress™, we had to go through outside vendors to make any changes to the site—even minor changes—and the process took a lot of time and money. Now, trained staff is able to make needed updates or corrections quickly, easily and, best of all, at no additional cost."

What kind of feedback have you received regarding the new site?

"Everyone loves our new site! Site Selection Magazine even told us it was one of the best economic development websites they’ve ever seen."

What is one ChamberExpress™ tool that you see using to improve communications with members?

"The content management tool, which allows all of our trained staff to update and change pages to communicate proactively to our members on a timely basis."

Do you see new possibilities for generating revenue due to ChamberExpress™?

"Definitely. In fact, in the first four months after launching the site, we sold approximately $12,000 in online advertising."

What would you tell other chambers that are considering using ChamberExpress™?

"The ChamberExpress™ staff is awesome to work with and they really care about the customer. Their product will save a ton of time for you and money for your organization." What’s on the books for your future web plans? "We want to continue to make the site more user-friendly and interactive by using the tools offered through ChamberExpress ™ such as streaming video and blogs."
