NKCBC Online and Printed Business Directory Listing |
On March 25, we sent an email entitled “Member Benefits and Business Directory Listing” to all NKCBC members regarding recent upgrades to the North Kansas City Business Council website and the ChamberMaster member management software, as well as instructions and links on how to access and update your business information in the Members Information Center (MIC).
One of the many benefits of NKCBC membership is an enhanced listing in the online directory on the NKCBC website. We do our best to maintain an up-to-date directory of all NKC businesses, however, NKCBC members do receive the benefit of priority placement within the directory and the ability to include much more detailed information for increased visibility and exposure on the internet and within the Member Information Center (MIC). David Lee Wells Law Office, Fry & Associates, Inc., NT Realty, Inc., and ProPrint Digital are just a few great examples of NKCBC members who have updated their information and very successfully utilized the additional tools and features associated with their enhanced listing.
In addition to the online directory, we publish a print version of the North Kansas City Business Council Business Directory each year which is distributed to all NKC businesses. We use the information from the MIC to populate this publication, so it is important your profile is complete and contains up-to-date information. If you can’t locate the March 25th email, let us know. Otherwise, please take a few minutes to log in to the MIC, review the information we have on file, and make any changes or updates before Friday, April 16th.
