From here you are going to be able to publish important business information to both your own profile AND to the Chamber website as well – effectively leveraging the Chamber’s consistent high visitor traffic.

Don’t worry if you already have a website you are happy with, this profile does not need to replace your current site – it is simply a way for you to be able to interact with the Chamber membership and current Chamber site visitors. However, if you do wish to grow your profile into a fully functioning website then we can help you with that too!

With this profile you are also going to be able to interact with other Chamber members in a private and secure environment, conducting Chamber business and networking with other members to maximize your mutual business potential.

We have crafted a series of emails to help you get started as quickly and as painlessly as possible. Expect to see an email a day for the next week or so, and please let us know if there is anything we have missed or could explain better.
If you have any questions about how to use your new tool please feel free to send us an email at: support@perthchamber.com – this will generate a support ticket and someone will get back to you as quickly as possible.

The first thing you are going to want to do is to log into the administrative back end of your site and change your password to something that you will be able to remember.

To do that:

1. Click the login link you received in the email with your username and password.
2. Enter your username
3. And password
1. Don’t worry if you can’t find that email, you can just use the “lost your password” link on this page to get a new one sent to your email inbox!
4. Click the Green “Wizard Mode” button and we will walk you through the rest
