Member Profiles Coming Soon!

This site is dedicated to a core group of businesses that can and will work together to network for business in Portland and Vancouver, utilizing a synergistic , technology-based approach.  The primary piece of the technology core will be this website – delivering quality content, SEO links, and best of all, social business networking events whose primary focus is on developing winning B2B partnership opportunities.

Another basic yet extremely effective piece of the technology core will be utilizing email marketing that contains the logos, links, coupons, news and core messages of the member consitituency, mailed out on a weekly or bi-weekly basis.  This will be shared marketing among the members, administered by Northwest eSource.  Its goal will be to spread the word about Portland and Vancouver’s BEST BUSINESSES.  By combining quality graphics and content with POWERFUL PRICING SPECIALS with a broad-based combined clientele target market, we should have  a winning formula.

When I get a newsletter from the two computer companies I follow online – Newegg.com and TigerDirect.com – I almost ALWAYS READ THEM.  Why?  Because the prices they put in SOMETIMES are so good, I can’t help but read ALL OF THE EMAILS.  

If we can combine efforts to consistently offer specials that are so good we may make a considerably lower profit margin initally, but our readership will grow exponentially – as will the regular income from regular readers.

One last thing, this effort will be based on our current clientele’s agreement to subscribe or be delivered the newsletter initially.  This means that their loyalty to your company and the relationship you have with them is what is going to bring them into the circle of the best businesses in Portland and Vancouver through Northwest Business Links – so make sure you are collecting email addresses NOW!

The best businesses - We care about people and planet!

This site is being created with the intent of linking all of our current web design and technology clients with each other and each other’s clients in a cooperative, business building adventure!

The main ingredient is a new webpage being crafted called NWBusinessLinks.com and a new button on everyone’s existing web site: LINKS.

When pressed, this links button will take your clients directly to your profile page listed on NWBusinessLinks.com where they will immediately be offered the option to leave a comment about you, which then will be emailed immediately to you. If we run your website and you have a comments section, we will add the comment to your web site. If we are running an Internet Presence Management Campaign for you, then we will add the comment to the list of Directory Websites we have an agreement on (DexKnows.com, Citysearch, Yahoo.Local, Google Maps, etc).

What are the major benefits to you?

#1 – New Clients

The links button on member websites that links to NWBusinessLinks.com will give other member’s clients a chance to browse our website and to potentially find your profile, your website and to utilize the services and products you offer. The member list is going to start off strong and will grow substantially over the next six months.

#2 – Search Engine Optimization

a. When we create your profile on NWBusinessLinks.com, we will make it link to your website in the way that will benefit you the most, by utilizing the keywords to which you have your site tuned. By linking to you, we add to search engine rankings of your site.
b. Our site (and your profile) will be Search Engine Optimized and within months should be garnering traffic on its own. Meaning when users search for services in the Portland area, they may find NWBusinessLinks.com and your profile and may choose to business with you.

#3 – Networking

This will be a good opportunity for you to try the services of the other members, and in turn to meet them and network with them to share mutual clients, advertising opportunities and partnerships.
