The Chamber partners with NEOnet to release timely report outlining how their members can improve utilizing social media platforms

TIMMINS, ON | March 30, 2020: “Social media is just a buzzword, until you come up with a strategy,” said Chamber President Val Venneri at the launch of their 2019-20 Social Media Audit Report, supported by NEOnet. A timely release amid this period of income-earners working from home, the Chamber and NEOnet has partnered to release a pulse check on which of our members are active on social media and how they are engaging new and existing clientele.

“The Chamber recognizes that being a small business owner means you are the accountant, the bookkeeper, the human resource manager, and yes-- the creative marketing director,” added Venneri.

The release of the report is both timely and quintessential amid the COVID-19 pandemic as it provides a real-time snapshot of Timmins’ businesses; who are in need of support, can use social media as a conduit to get their businesses active and engaged on the virtual spectrum.

“What is most evident is that more can be done to help those within the membership navigate untapped platforms and maximize efficiency in posting to multiple social media outlets,” said Venneri.

As small businesses play an indispensable role in our local economy, the Chamber felt it natural to partner with NEOnet, as local small- to medium-sized enterprises largely comprise the economic engine that drives our community forward. These businesses are a vital component of Timmins’ economy and are a primary source of innovation and job creation and support can be provided through funding with NEOnet.

Paul Ouimet, Director of Operations for NEOnet, echoes Venneri’s comments adding, “the findings summarized in the 'Member Social Media Audit' are very insightful - do take a moment to review them.  Consider reaching out to The Chamber or to NEOnet which can assist with educational opportunities and encouragement to strengthen your use and leveraging these platforms to maintain a connection with your clients and potential clients.”

“An e-commerce ready community allows our members within relevant and respective industries to take their business online in the case of pandemic emergencies such as the COVID-19,” shares Venneri. “Your Chamber can help guide you through these available resources.”

“When employed correctly, social media can be a low-cost and effective tool for any small business owner, however the multitude of platforms may present barriers. With the help of your Chamber and some creative strategies, these barriers are surmountable,” added Venneri.
