Dayton Chamber Awarded Rural Tourism Grant
John Cassinelli, president of the Dayton Area Chamber of Commerce & Visitors Center, has announced that Travel Nevada and the Nevada State Department of Tourism have awarded the Chamber a $9,600 rural tourism marketing grant. The money will be used to develop a completely re-branded website which will be revealed the first week of October 2019.
"We are very grateful to Travel Nevada for recognizing the role rural Nevada plays in promoting tourism and for granting us the funds to develop our website." said Cassinelli. "The project not only benefits our chamber membership but the Dayton area community as a whole. It's an exciting step forward."
The Chamber will be working with White Peak, a Reno-based team of innovative, creative, and passionate digital marketing junkies. Headed by CEO Tim Woda, this data-driven digital marketing agency offers several services - website development, SEO, social media management, and site maintenance, just to name a few.
"We take pride in our ability to meet the needs of companies of all sizes and our team is excited about getting the Dayton Chamber's story in front of the right audience and growing business as well as expanding tourism," Woda noted.
Brittnee Somers, Vice President of Events, is chairing the Web Development Committee for the Chamber. Somers, who headed the successful Oodles of Noodles Festival in June, said she is excited about the prospects the new website will bring.
Somers said, "Not only will the membership directory be completely updated, visitors to the area will have a clearer sense of what Dayton and the surrounding areas offer in terms of recreation and adventure."
She is joined on the committee by Cassinelli and directors Mike Kunz and Enrique Hagerbaumer-Tadeo.
The new URL for the chamber will be www.daytonnvchamber.com.
While White Peak is making the changes, internet traffic will be re-directed from the old site to the new site with a "Coming Soon" message.
