BRBC's New Website Drives More Opportunity to Members

BRIDGEPORT, CONNECTICUT — September 18, 2009 — The Bridgeport Regional Business Council recently launched a redesigned, user-friendly website that better connects site visitors to area businesses - the Council's members.
Their new website was designed to help investor members grow their businesses, the Council's mission. Through the interactive online business directory, the BRBC is able to drive more opportunities to its members by quickly connecting individuals to their products and services.
In addition to the member directory, members can get even more exposure by submitting articles through the 'Members Only' section to be displayed on the Council's Member News page. And, thanks to the website's integration with their membership database (WebLink Connect from WebLink), the Council only needs to approve the story in their database for the page to display the article.
