WELCOMETOHARLEM.COM BRINGS TOGETHER HARLEM'S BUSINESSES, RESIDENTS AND VISITORS
Harlem, NY (BlackNews.com) - Business owners in Harlem already have one good thing going-a great location. A strong community presence is another cornerstone to building a successful business. The need for a virtual meeting space where businesses connect with their constituents paved the way for a new website, www.WelcometoHarlem.com, where Harlem businesses, residents and visitors converge to discuss important issues, share tips, and become more involved in their neighborhood.
The brainchild of founder Carolyn Johnson, WelcometoHarlem.com is the site where businesses can announce grand openings, advertise services and offer access to free newsletters and menus, and consumers can purchase goods from online merchants. The site is also the place where residents can share insight with other residents on the community message boards, stay abreast of local events and politics, sell unwanted furniture, electronics-even concert tickets-for free in the Classifieds section, as well as submit features to The Word, WelcometoHarlem.com's no-holds-barred monthly publication.
Harlem's economy is strong, which means that there are jobs to fill right in the neighborhood. WelcometoHarlem.com offers a means for bringing employers and jobseekers together-employers can post available jobs, candidates can post their profiles, and each can survey the site to find the right position or the right recruit.
"There's nothing else like this in Harlem," says Johnson. "While Harlem was growing up around me, I saw we lacked an online community forum where residents and visitors can find out about local events, find jobs and get information about local businesses. Harlem is a culturally rich community that historically has banded together to support local business. WelcometoHarlem.com is all about helping Harlem continue on as one of New York's strongest cultural and commercial centers."
About Welcome to Harlem
The mission is to create a dynamic online community for Harlem residents and visitors, and a convenient and cost-effective advertising channel for local businesses and organizations. WelcometoHarlem.com offers an alternative to paying expensive advertising rates for space that includes only a fraction of what you need to say.
To keep pace with Harlem's growth and expansion, Carolyn Johnson saw the need for an online community gateway where businesses and organizations can reach the public, and where residents and visitors can access neighborhood information such as business listings, event notifications, and dining, shopping and entertainment options.
The site's Business Directory is an affordable and effective way to attract customers. "We wanted to take the guesswork out of dealing with the media," Johnson explains. "No more wondering if events and announcements make it to print. WelcometoHarlem.com members control their own content. Our philosophy is simple: send your information to us, and your listing is broadcast to everyone who visits Welcome to Harlem."
