“Developed by a member- for members.”
Please Note: Some entries on this site are made by people testing it’s features. Except for this page, all content exists for demo purposes only and should be considered fictitious.
Image1Plus was developed to allow small Chambers of Commerce to provide their members with a modern and enhanced Internet presence. Aside from maintaining a state of the art web site. the system may also be used to control many functions of day to day Chamber management. It works with any existing online presence you may already have to create buzz and “Google Juice” for your Chamber and your members. We provide you with the latest social marketing tools and methods to promote your Chamber, local businesses, or individuals and increase all of their online visibility in the community. Your members will be able to post events, photos, videos, news items, sale notices, coupons, etc., and have them instantly appear on the Chamber web site. The Chamber website is fully integrated with Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Flickr, and many other social networking sites so anything posted on the Chamber site can automatically appear there as well. Using Image1Plus, you’ll have access to all the “member related” services provided by major online Content Management Systems plus others tailored specifically for chamber members. Some of the features you will find in Image1Plus systems are listed below.

-
All features of your Chamber web site will run on your own virtual private server with it’s own private IP number. This prevents the “guilt by association” and shared IP dangers commonly associated with major CMS providers.
