Cost:
The cost to get started is free ($0.00), we then work with you to offer all members a picture next to their listing on the directory for a small fee / year ($10/yr), that is paid to us, if the organization gets more than that per pic they keep the difference. For example if you can get just 50 members willing to purchase this option for $20, your chamber will make an additional $1,000/yr. Now here is where we will ask for an annual picture fee not to exceed $500/yr. Once you receive $500.00 or greater for pics, you then provide us the annual fee, then all remaining income for that year is yours.
How do you upload a picture:
You send the picture to baac@pstcorp.com be it a jpg, gif, pdf, png, doc, docs etc. BAAC then formats the picture to a .jpg and adjusts the size for your to control online directories, we then name the file, upload to your picture folder and send a return email to you with the picture file name (i.e. abc.jpg), you then just enter that file name in the MemList.xlsx excel file and run the batch file using ftp to upload your directory. The picture will now appear on the members directory listing. NOTE, members can also provide a different URL then their home page so that if a visitor clicks the picture it will go that URL.
How to promote getting a picture to your members:
It is programmed that all your members can have their contact information, website URL and map links. However, in order to have a business description and social media URLs (Facebook, twitter, linked in, Instagram, or a blog) the member MUST have a picture posted to their listing. If not then those fields are blank. The data can be in the excel file, it simply will not upload using ftp to control online directories with no photo/pic/logo.
