Conpoto is helping the West Coast Chamber grow local business and membership with its unique, online local currency platform. The partnership was featured in the Holland Sentinel.
Launched in the summer of 2014, West Coast Cash generated more than $10,000 in sales within the first three weeks. What’s more, the cloud-based community gifting technology managed by the West Coast Chamber of Commerce helped increase membership by 25 percent.
West Coast Cash provides instant access to local restaurants, shops and service businesses through the use of email, smart phones or printed gift certificates.
West Coast Cash is revitalizing the chamber’s business model, says Jane Clark, president of the West Coast Chamber of Commerc
”West Coast Cash has enormous potential to help the West Coast Chamber connect local merchants to businessboth B2C and B2B,” Clark said. “With West Coast Cash, we can facilitate powerful relationships between merchants and local business, and promote buying local across the community. Its a turn-key solution to a decades old challenge.”
The West Coast Chamber of Commerce Membership Team promoted the local currency program via meetings, Facebook, website and public relations. Members and would-be members were immediately enthusiastic, whether provoked by the opportunity to connect with large businesses or the hassle-free gifting technology.[/fusion_text]
