QUICK TIP

Is your deck unsafe because of slippery slime? It might be time to scrub it with deck treatment to get things back to normal and keep you and your family from accidentally doing the splits.

Health Kits for Haiti

I had a great afternoon today. We put together 22 health kits for UMCOR for Haiti, with more to come. Would you like to provide a health kit to help these unfortunate people? Drop $12 off at NM United Methodist Church and we'll make up a kit for you. Each kit includes a wash cloth, towel, toothbush, toothpaste, nail clippers, comb, bandaids and soap.

business tax forms

One of the local libraries called me today. The IRS has stopped sending out tax forms for businesses. I am hoping to find information that I can pass on about where to find these forms. The only information I have is to order them directly from the IRS, but I don't see an option that works for small businesses.

Any great pearls of wisdom would be appreciated.
:)

QUICK TIP

With the kind of weather we have around here, it is a good idea to have your roof checked for any potential problems such as clogged gutters or moss build-up. These conditions can cause leaks or a pest problem like termites or carpenter ants. If undetected for too long, it can lead to rot.

Upgraded My Blog

I have moved this blog to FrankKenny.net hosted on the Wordpress platform.

I will continue to focus on entrepreneurs, providing information on using modern business techniques and today's tech tools, including Internet social networking and social media.

We have doubled our Chamber's membership using these tools and I am eager to share what I have learned with business owners, other individuals and groups.

Thank you for your interest and friendship.

Reach through social networking and social media

A volunteer trustee recently brought up at a Chamber Board of Trustees meeting that the Chamber has become a media company.

By that, she meant that with all of the Internet social networking, sponsorship and marketing opportunities available to the members, our chamber now has, as known in the marketing world, REACH.

We use that REACH to promote the community, advocate for our members, pump up our networking activities, and contribute to the local economy.

Our Chamber and the President/CEO has 2250 followers on Twitter, 1400 folks on the eBiz email blast list, hundreds of friends on Chamber’s Facebook fan page, a Youtube channel, an active blog, hundreds of members using “Myno”, and more….

We have REACH. Another way to think about it is to call it VISIBILITY in the community. By being a member, you immediately have access to this VISIBILITY from your media company.

Chamber of Commerce Member Marketing Packages that Include Social Media

I have been really working the social media angle for my Chamber. I have recently created a package of marketing opportunities that includes Internet social networking and geo-targeting. I can't role it out yet publicly but I think it might be a big deal for associations.

Stay tuned.

The videos I have been shooting have also been a big hit. Here is one I posted recently. That is representative Fred Finn of Washington's 35th district being interviewed.
