Keizer launches digital guide to enhance local business visibility

In the heart of Keizer's city hall, a discussion unfolded about enhancing the community's digital presence. City officials are working diligently to launch a new digital guide aimed at showcasing local businesses and services. This initiative is designed to complement the existing printed directory, ensuring that both tech-savvy residents and those who prefer physical resources can access vital information.

The digital guide will feature listings for places to eat, stay, and other essential services, making it easier for visitors and residents alike to find what they need. For instance, if someone experiences a flat tire, they will be able to quickly locate nearby services like Les Schwab Tire Centers. This user-friendly approach aims to provide immediate assistance, especially for those unfamiliar with the area.

Importantly, the digital guide will not replace the printed directory, which remains a cherished resource for many in the community. Officials noted that the physical guide is still valued for its accessibility in local businesses and public spaces. The digital version will be particularly targeted towards popular local venues, such as the turf fields and Little League fields, enhancing the experience for families and visitors attending events.

This initiative is open to all businesses in Keizer, not just chamber members, although chamber members will receive special recognition. The goal is to highlight the diverse offerings of the city, fostering a sense of community and support for local enterprises.

As the meeting wrapped up, the officials expressed their commitment to making the digital guide a valuable resource for everyone in Keizer, ensuring that the city continues to grow and adapt to the needs of its residents and visitors.
