Digital agency Cirrus ABS has entered into a partnership with the Greater Fort Wayne Chamber of Commerce to develop affordable, high-quality website solutions for Chamber members.

These solutions are made possible by the award-winning Cirrus eBusiness Suite, an advanced software/technology platform designed to facilitate easy, cost-efficient website management. That said, Cirrus CEO and Founder Matt Nickols maintains that it’s much more than a conventional content management system. According to Nickols, “The eBusiness Suite is a comprehensive package of tools for, yes, CMS, but also search engine optimization and social media marketing. In addition, it provides a knowledge portal, various, constantly updated business apps, and ongoing support, delivered by our U.S.-based team of Web professionals.”

That small businesses need such support and capabilities seems obvious to the Chamber and Cirrus ABS. Their new partnership is the result of a shared recognition that, 1) businesses worldwide are shifting more and more of their marketing efforts to the Web and, 2) in order to compete successfully online, especially in today’s economy, small businesses need all the help they can get.

With the eBusiness Suite solution, Chamber members have a more-affordable alternative to traditional website design, development, and setup. As Nickols tells it, “We’re offering Chamber members savings that could be as much as $1,000 a year off our standard pricing – which itself is a significantly better value than other such programs on the market.”

Chamber President Mike Landram concurs that “the eBusiness Suite provides our members with options and discounts that will make doing business better and more affordable.”

“We’re excited about our partnership with the Chamber,” says Cirrus ABS Director of Sales Derek Pillie. “Delivering important online marketing solutions that help its members derive even more value from their membership is a challenge we’re ready and well-suited to take on.”

The Greater Fort Wayne Chamber of Commerce is a non-profit organization dedicated to serving its membership of nearly 1,700 Northeast Indiana businesses. In essence, it acts as a catalyst for economic growth in this region by providing members with relevant business resources and facilitating strategic connections between business, education, and government entities. As the recognized voice of commerce in Northeast Indiana, the Chamber leverages its influence to advocate a pro-business agenda at the local, state, and federal levels. It serves at the same time as a government watchdog, keeping members informed of policy changes that will affect their businesses.
