County Commissioner Interviews Are On the Chamber’s YouTube Channel
The Public Policy Committee of the Blair County Chamber held a Q&A session on September 11th with the four candidates for Blair County Commissioner. The candidates were interviewed individually and their responses were videotaped. The questions were developed by the committee and all candidates were asked the same questions. To view the interviews, go to Blair County Chamber’s YouTube Channel.
The Chamber is Now on Instagram!!
Instagram is a great marketing and networking tool now being utilized by the Chamber. Similar to Facebook, Instagram allows likes, tags, comments, and shares. Instagram uses images to attract an audience as they scroll through their news feed. Adding hashtags to each post helps reach individuals who follow certain topics. How can this help your business? The Chamber will be able to tag your Instagram account and create a broader audience. Follow the Chamber on Instagram @blaircountychamberofcommerce.
