Wow! It feels great to be back working on my blog. First what’s with the name “Catching the Friday 5:05?” My goal behind this blog is to provide weekly “gold nuggets” that are easy to understand and apply to your chamber’s online strategy. I will do my best to release these postings on Friday at 5PM and they should only take 5 minutes to read.

For those of you who may not know me, my name is Jeff Kline and I’m the CEO and President of Accrisoft and Accrinet. I have over 20 years experience working with chambers on their technology and web strategies. This experience has allowed me to help solve a wide variety of problems for a wide variety of chambers.

The focus of my blog will be chambers of commerce, particularly how each your chamber can leverage the resources you have to create an effective web strategy. I will not only give suggestions to developing your web strategy, but also examples of chambers that have created a successful web strategy.

Some of the topics that I plan on covering are:

I hope over the course of this year, you start to view me not only as a tool in your website strategy but also as an important virtual member of your team. With this partnership, I encourage you to actively participate by asking questions, commenting or even disagreeing with my sugestions.

My entry next week will focus on your overall chamber’s web strategy and what your chamber does well and what aspects should be improved.

Please let me know if you would like to see any topics added or deleted. Also, you can easily opt out of this blog by clicking here or add someone to this blog by clicking here.

I look forward to some meaningful and valuable interaction in 2012.
