Bay City Convention & Visitors Bureau

In 2006, the Bay City Convention & Visitors Bureau completed a branding initiative plan which included a complete upgrade to their Web site presence.  Included with this new Web site were several customized applications that give Bay City Convention & Visitors Bureau complete participation in the success of their online presence.  The members that participate with the Bay City CVB are also able to help further their growth and success by utilizing the tools that have been made available for their use.

It is imperative that our CVB clients not only have access to their entire Web site content, events, images and visitors leads, but of equal importance, giving the CVB members the ability to manage their business information, images, download leads from the Web site.  Interacting with the CVB from their Member's Only area to receive the latest updates from their board and various sources from around the State creates a formula for success.

Gaslight Media has formulated the perfect solution for our Convention & Visitors Bureau clients to be successful on the Web. The customized applications that we have created specifically for our CVB clients include:

• Gaslight Media Toolbox integrated with the Members Database to maintain all navigation and automatic database queries for their Member Categories. The CVB controls all navigation components of the Web site, and can create sub-navigation pages to generate a database list result of Recreation members, Attractions, Accommodations, Services - or any other business category that fits their membership. Our Toolbox has been designed to give our clients complete management of their Web site navigation, content, images - and page layouts. There is no limit as to where you would like to place an image on the page or create a table, it's completely in your control!
• Contact/Leads Database with dynamic Area's of Interest continues the growth of their marketing campaigns, along with sharing the Web site leads directly with the CVB members. We have set up a completely automated system to give Members the opportunity to download visitor leads on a daily basis, which helps them generate business potential.
• A customized Events Calendar to control event listings topics, colors, views - along with a front end "add your event" form that other community members and organizations can submit for posting on the CVB's Web site. Upon submission of an event, the site administrator is notified, and can simply "turn on" the event if approved for posting. No more double entry!
• The Photo Gallery database allows any image that is placed in the Gallery to be sent as a E-Card - An excellent way to share the views of community and surrounding areas automatically via the Internet - along with our CVB's Web site address.

These are just a few of the features that our customized Convention & Visitors Bureau Web sites include. Find out how to empower your CVB by contacting Gaslight Media today and explore YOUR potential on the Web!
