The Illinois Municipal League Local Government Online Web Portal

bullet1 Pay attention to this!   The Directory

     The Portal Directory is the basic building block of e-Marketing . Like the catalog cards in a library it contains:

  • The name of your government, business or organization.
  • A slogan or tag line of your choice.
  • Phone, Fax numbers.
  • Address.
  • E-mail address.
  • Web site address (url)*.
  • Description of your government, business or organization.

    Once the basic information is entered, you then select the Topic, Category and sub-Category you want your Directory listing under. If you have a logo, seal or other image you want associated with your listing you can also display that.

    Let's take an example: you are a business that specializes in grants consulting and assistance to government. You would probably choose to be listed in the main category of Consutants & Services  and the sub-category of Grants & Grant Assistance . A city official looking for assistance in obtaining grants would, most importantly, be able to find you and then contact you by mail, e-mail, phone, fax or visit your web site!

How do you get found now - mailings, cold phone calls, exhibits, ... or, if you have a web site, a web search that returns hundreds, if not thousands, of "hits"? The IML e-Solution offers a powerful way to be found and the ability to e-Market   beyond the traditional print, media and physical offerings - 24 hours a day, 365 days a year!
