New Social Networking Opportunities

Social media has taken hold of today’s business communication strategies. Companies are moving towards more regular use of Twitter and Facebook, rather than traditional advertising venues, to market their products and services.

The Chamber is now on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn and has recently added these popular social networking links to our website. From the homepage of Naperville.net, Members can now link to the Chamber’s pages in the social media environment and learn about upcoming events, Chamber news and legislative updates.

Members can benefit through these venues by furthering their networking opportunities online. Follow the Chamber on Twitter to receive the latest updates. Become a fan of the Chamber on Facebook and post your information to our Wall by attaching a link to a press release or a photo of a recent event. The Chamber’s LinkedIn group is growing and is a great opportunity for Members to connect online and get your information out to fellow Members.

For more information on the Chamber’s social media opportunities or to post information, contact Ryan Foster at (630) 355-4141 ext. 1338.
