As part of its evolving social media strategy, the Oak Park - River Forest Chamber of Commerce announced that it has migrated its blog to a new Wordpress-enabled site. The first blog post "#socialmediamondays begin January 5" was published on Saturday, December 27 on the following site:
"This free blogging platform has all the features we need to keep our members up to date on issues facing small business and the Chamber," said Executive Director Cathy Yen. "We hope to post regularly and Wordpress makes it very easy for us to post and reach a wide following wherever there is an internet conenction."
In addition to the ability to use mobile apps as publishing tools, Yen was pleased with the ability to share posts across platforms. The Chamber already uses Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest and Instagram social media platforms. "Migrating our website-based blog to a blogging industry leader like Wordpress just made sense," explained Yen. "As blogging becomes an ever-more important part of business social media strategies, it made sense to add Wordpress to the Chamber's online toolbox."
The Chamber will post links to new blog posts in the news release section of its website. Members will be able to access the posts from the Chamber site, directly from Wordpress or via shared posts on LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook.
The Oak Park - River Forest Chamber of Commerce is a member-based business association focused on helping local businesses make connections. For information about the Chamber, visit our website at www.oprfchamber.org or email us at info@oprfchamber.org.
