Dane Buy Local Launches New Website

Welcome to the new website for Dane Buy Local! We made it easier for shoppers in Dane County to find and support your local business.

We are pleased to provide Internet surfers looking to shop local in Dane County with a virtual experience that makes it easy to find local businesses. The new Dane Buy Local website is a compelling and useful tool for any Dane Buy Local member to market their business and to connect with other local businesses using the “Member Only” section of the website.

Our primary goal for the website is to keep your customer in mind and to enrich the experience of shoppers looking to find you, our member business. Our secondary goal was to help you, a member of Dane Buy Local, market your business.

A magnificent website is essential to the mission of Dane Buy Local and we plan to continue to work toward enhancing the site. Consequently, your feedback and comments are needed, appreciated, and welcome.

Webstix Inc.Thanks to the donated time, talent and patience of local website design company Webstix, Inc. we now have a unique, custom designed website powered by a Content Management System (CMS) on the back end that enables Dane Buy Local to maintain and update information with ease.

Radial Web SolutionsThe other critical and unique aspect of this project is the development of a new client management system of our members. With the help and relentless dedication of Kevin Swiggum, Radial Web Solutions, who volunteered not only his many years of expertise but his time as well, we now utilize a software program created by  Salesforce.com customized by Kevin specifically for Dane Buy Local.

 

Our new Client Relationship Management System (CRM) from Radial Web Solutions streamlines and simplifies the management of our rapidly growing membership. What this means for you is that information gathered on the website (like when the "Contact Us" form and "Member Application" form is used) forwards directly to Salesforce.com where it is then processed and managed. Changes to information in your member profile is automatically updated and then uploaded daily to the website, thus making the process much less time consuming.

The implementation of the Content Management System (CMS) by Webstix and Salesforce.com (CRM) by Radial Web Solutions puts Dane Buy Local on the cutting edge of non-profit association technology and website management!

Did You Know?

“A local economy values relationships over transactions.  Doing business locally depends upon and builds social capital and longer-term thinking; conducting transactions long distance promotes anonymity and facilitates short-term profit-taking.”
