The Homer Chamber of Commerce website receives
an average of over 75,000 Monthly Unique Visitors!
These are people looking to see what Homer has to
offer, and it is your chance to tell them about your
business. You can speed up the connection between
the Chamber website and your business by making your
website address a "hot link" under your free and
additional category listings and by
advertising on the Chamber website. These services
are available to Primary Business Members, Multiple
Primary Business Members, Associate Business Members
and Reciprocal Members.
Website Hot Links
Members who purchase a website "hot" link, must
have their website address listed as one of their
three contacts for published materials (members
indicate this on their membership application form
or renewal form or by contacting the Chamber).
Website addresses are made "hot" on the Chamber
website within two weeks of receiving your payment.
Website Hot Links are available for purchase
separately for each additional category listing that
you may have.
For
Primary Business & Primary Multiple Business
members who's 1) office is physically located
outside the Greater Homer Area (Anchor Point
south to across Kachemak Bay) and/or 2)
who provide services in multiple geographic
areas, and 3) their business operates in,
leaves from or is accessed from Homer, their
website "Hot Link" must link to the Homer page*
of their website.
*"Homer Page" of a member's website: a page on
a member's website that specifies the services
the business provides in the Greater Homer Area.
Example: A fishing charter primary member who
has charter boat trips leaving from both Kenai
and Homer must either: 1) link to the page on
their web site that is specifically about their
boat trips in Homer, or 2) link to a "landing
page" that directs them to the page on their
website that is specifically about their boat
trips in Homer.
Cost
The cost of the website "hot" link is $50 per category listing/per
membership year for full membership year (October 1
to September 30).
