GoRipon Project

Dear Chamber Members--

You may have heard from the buzz around that the Ripon Chamber is embarking on a web portal project. The GoRipon.com portal will be engineered to have optimal search engine recognition.

We feel very strongly that this will benefit Ripon businesses and give us a much higher profile on the Internet. We are asking for your help to make this possible. There is no cost to you to participate in this project.

Please take a look at the attached letter. It will explain in more detail how the process will work. Then go to the GoRipon website and fill in the information that will draw customers to your business. The more information we can get from our Chamber businesses, the more visitors we will get to the site.

If you have any questions, please contact me. We are very excited about this project and look forward to working with our members to make GoRipon.com a huge success for our community.

Dear Ripon Chamber Members,

Throughout the last few months, the Ripon Chamber has been actively working on a project titled GoRipon.com. GoRipon.com is soon to be the universal portal through which the Ripon area can be explored and discovered. Your participation and input as a Ripon chamber member is key to this project’s success. The success of GoRipon.com will positively impact businesses and increase awareness of what we have to offer.

There is no cost to you for your participation in the GoRipon project. The goal of GoRipon.com is to generate interest in our community. The way you can help is to go to www.GoRipon.com and fill out a form about your business. The form is very simple; just enter your business name, describe your business in a short paragraph and then create as many two- to four-word key phrases as you can that describe aspects of your business, entity or organization.

What are key phrases? For example, a dentist office may want descriptive phrases such as “low-cost root canal”, “pain-free dentistry”, or “nice dentist”. You will want to think of descriptive phrases for your business that will be utilized by GoRipon.com to develop the website’s relevance in the world of search engines. Relevance is important because the popularity of your business on the Internet can be increased greatly with searchable phrases. When a website has more relevance it will appear on the top of search lists when phrases such as “scenic bike ride” or “women’s clothing boutique” are entered into a search engine such as Google, Yahoo, or MSN.

Your business will generate more popularity by having a relevant search. Visitors to the GoRipon site will be able to search for and view your business location, email, or website. It is our hope and intent that your business will continue to thrive with the awareness that this web site will create.

GoRipon.com will enhance the way our area is viewed across the nation, and it will create interest in the unique communities that we already know and love. We thank you in advance for your help with this project.

If you have comments or questions, feel free to contact us through www.GoRipon.com or at the Chamber office. We are more than happy to assist in any way we can.

Sincerely,
Paula Price, Executive Director Ripon Chamber of Commerce (920) 748-6764
