Chamber launches Web site to promote shopping local

LAKE COUNTY – The Lakeport Regional Chamber of Commerce has announced the launch of its new Web site to promote shop local, shop Lake County first.


Visit www.lakeportchamber.com or visit: www.shopstayplay.com.


While currently the site features accommodations and restaurants which are members of the Lakeport Regional Chamber, this site is available to all Lake County businesses.


The initial launch is featuring only accommodations and restaurants but will eventually feature all types of businesses in Lake County.

 

The goal of this site is to encourage Lake County residents to shop at local businesses, supporting those businesses which support our local communities. The businesses are being encouraged to offer discounts to anyone with a Lake County address.


“Chamber President Kenny Parlet is the champion of this program,” said incoming chamber President Jan Parkinson, “and our board of directors fully supports this concept to draw customers to Lake County businesses.”


Said Parlet, “If we, as residents of Lake County, do not support our friends and neighbors who own these businesses, they will soon be gone and we'll be forced to travel many miles for the products and services we need.”

 

Another goal of the program is to introduce residents to all the many businesses that exist in our communities.


“We may not have malls, but we have variety and uniqueness in the diversity of businesses in Lake County,” said Parlet.


If you're willing to drive to Ukiah or Santa Rosa to find what you need, why not drive fewer miles and keep your sales tax dollars at home.


As the inventory of businesses continues to grow on this Web site, Lake County residents will be surprised at what we truly do have available within county lines.

 

Currently participation on www.shopstayplay.com is free through March 31, 2009. After that date there will be a monthly fee commensurate with the level each business desires to use.


For questions concerning Shop Stay and Play, contact the Lakeport Regional Chamber at 263-5092.
