The online companion
to the Chamber’s world class headquarters and exceptional programming and
services, www.littlerockchamber.com
is the web’s source for all things Chamber,
Since its redesign,
construction and launch in September 2005, the Chamber’s site has seen a staggering
increase in activity. In just six months, website visits were up 4,076%,
average daily site visits were up 4,911%, and average daily page views were up
3,059%.
In 2007, there were 450,468
page views, up 32%. As these trends continue, sponsorship of the Chamber’s
website could offer the best dollar to return value of any Chamber product.
To further enhance
the value of sponsorship, the Chamber is currently in the process of
redesigning and populating an entirely new website, powered by the leading Chamber
database in the world. Launch is scheduled for late second quarter.
Sponsorship on the Chamber’s website is for one year only
and exclusive on each page. Sponsorships must meet design
specifications, and the Chamber reserves the right to refuse any sponsorship.
