Looking for Members on New Social Media & Mobile Marketing Committee
As part of our new Strategic Plan, the Eau Claire Chamber is forming a Social Media & Mobile Marketing Committee. The goal of the committee is to determine ways to communicate to and promote Chamber
members with the use of social media and mobile marketing
methods.
The committee will research new social media sites/apps that would enhance the
Chamber's marketing plan along with promoting its members and assist the Chamber in creating a mobile marketing plan and
monitor the success of the plan.
Time committment for members would be minimal. We anticipate having approximately three meetings this year and then quarterly in the future.
If you are interested, please contact Cheri Weinke (715-858-0613).
