Emerge Inc. Blog

LorainCounty.com, a community-based website founded and supported by Emerge, has added a number of exciting enhancements recently.

Community Directory – The site’s local search engine, business directory and nonprofit directory have been combined to create the LorainCounty.com Community Directory. The Community Directory provides profile information, including web address, mailing address, maps, photos and descriptions on over 2,500 local businesses and organizations.

MarketPlace – A Beta version of MarketPlace was launched in July. MarketPlace contains over 3,500 classified-style listings for autos, homes, merchandise and jobs. LorainCounty.com users can create listings free of charge. MarketPlace also includes listings from third-party sites to ensure the broadest selection to search through.

Digital Partnership – LorainCounty.com announced a new opportunity for local businesses, organizations and individuals to support the site by becoming a Digital Partner for just $8/month (or $80/year). Digital Partners declare their support for LorainCounty.com, help drive its future and receive high visibility throughout the site.

Media Kit – The growth of the Internet provides new opportunities for businesses to reach and engage customers. With a user base of 45,000 people, LorainCounty.com provides a number of options for businesses and organizations to reach and engage local customers. The LorainCounty.com advertising options were recently updated to reflect these emerging opportunities.

Marketing Campaign – In August, LorainCounty.com will kick off a county-wide marketing campaign that will incorporate billboards, radio, local newspapers and major search engines such as Google, MSN and Yahoo.
