DESCRIPTION

UPlanMe provides local Chamber of Commerces with access to customizable community calendars to help market and promote their Business Members daily and weekly specials, sales, promotions and events across the web. The calendars can easily embed on both the Chamber website as well as local news and blog websites to maximize the reach of Chamber Members specials and events. Each Chamber Member can also have access to their own unique calendar to embed on their website. As the Chamber Member adds their specials and events, they automatically appear on their own website, as well as the Chamber's Community Calendar. This allows for simple, easy integration. The Chamber of Commerce community calendars are a great way to incentivize local businesses to join the Chamber and pay membership dues.
