bullet3 Announcements

    Something great happen in your community? Your business? Your organization? Announcements provides a way to let everyone know! Individuals visit web sites to get information. Did you recently receive an award or recognition for a local project, did you name a Citizen/Employee of the Month, have you initiated a new program or sadly, did a local official pass away? From Obituaries  to Press Releases  you can Announce what's happening in your community, your business or your organization. Your announcement might be what someone else is looking for or interested in! With an e-Marketing  subscription you are in control! You can change, add or delete your Announcements to your heart's content!

    While the intent is not to be, or to replace, your own web site, it is oriented through e-Marketing to increasing the probability of visitors to "find" what they need or are looking for. By publishing your Announcements you both inform visitors and possibly provide that gem of information that wouldn't have been known otherwise.

    Announcements is a powerful tool! It provides, through self-publishing, the ability to:

  • Title the subject Announcement.
  • Categorize the Announcement for easier access.
  • A listing expiration date for when the listing will automatically be removed.
  • Include an image relating to the Announcement

    Through self-publishing you have total control over your Announcements - add, change or update your Announcements information as often as you want.

    Linking your Directory listing with your Announcements is a added benefit in how IML e-Marketing  increases your marketing reach. When someone accesses your Directory listing - your Announcements will also be shown! Of course, the opposite is also true. If someone accesses your announcement through Announcements - your announcement is linked to your Directory listing. This linking to the Directory applies not only to the Announcements but also to Calendar of Events, Products/Services and Newsletters.
