Maximize the Use of Your Member Portal
By: Ashley Edwards, Director of Marketing & Communications, SHRCCI
There are many benefits to using your member portal on the Chamber website, lately I have been fielding questions on how to add a community event and how to update coupons on the website, so I figured I could put together a quick refresher on how to utilize ALL there is to offer on the member portal.
How do I log into my Member Portal?
Once you successfully became a Chamber member you will receive credentials for your Member Portal, at this point you may change your username and password to reflect something you will remember.
Once you have successfully logged into your portal, your "home page" will appear.
Under the "Quick Links" on the right hand side, click on the "Change Username/Password" link. From there, you can input your new username and password.
**Please note, that if you have forgotten it all together, you will need to call the office so we can send you a reset link to update your account information.**
***Since this is the same username and password for your entire company, make sure you share the information with your employees and co-workers that attend Chamber events!***
How do I update my contact information?
It's important to keep your listing as up-to-date as possible. This information shows on your listing in the directory. So if you get a new address, phone number, website or contact person we want to have the most accurate information for your business, so potential clients and customers can find you!
From the "Members Only Home Page", click on "Update Your Contact Information" under the "Quick Links" on the right hand side, There are many things you can do from here:
- Update your employee list which includes their names, emails, titles, whether they receive communication from us, and you can also update your main contact.
- If you click on "Edit My Profile", you can edit your businesses "General Information": Your company name, address, phone number, email address, and website.
- Under the "Directory Listing" tab on the left, you can update and edit your categories, keywords and primary listing. This is EXTREMELY important because this is how the public can find you on our website.
- You can also list your social media accounts under this tab. Copy and paste direct links to your businesses Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, Pinterest, YouTube, Instagram, and more! This will help other Chamber members, potential clients and customers find you on the web and follow you in the social media world.
What else can I do in my Member Portal?
Aside from updating your username and password, and keeping your contact information up to date, you can pay invoices by clicking on "Pay Your Bills," you can measure your Return on Investment by running your Referral Report, you can view the most current Membership List alphabetically (this exports as a PDF ~75 pages, it may take a while to download.) You can add your Member-to-Member and Member-to-Public coupons and discounts, and you can also submit an event to our community calendar.
Please keep in mind that any updates you make to your profile, coupons, events, job bank, etc. come to us for approval BEFORE it is posted on the website. So don't panic if you don't see it showing up on the website right away.

Are you fed up with technology issues? We know that your IT systems are the basis of running your business effectively. It is imperative that your systems perform at maximum effectiveness 24/7. We all know that IT management can be difficult, timely and expensive.
Your technology systems require constant planning and attention to ensure that they stay healthy and you avoid any problems that should arise. Many business owners state that IT issues are the main cause of delays or profit loss. In addition to downtime, many businesses are reporting that they are not significantly backing up important company data. It is reported that 58% of businesses have no backup plan for data loss and 60% of companies who experience data loss shutdown within 6 months. Don't be caught off guard, give the GURU a call today!
