NESHM Posts to CitySpokes


OVERVIEW

We call these your NESHM items. Your NESHM Items consist of News Items, Events, Specials, Help Wanted Ads, and Media Files. By posting your NESHM items, you will be keeping your business name in front of your customers and your potential customers.

Even though they may not need something from you today, they may need something that you can provide in the future. And when they do, you want them to think of your business first.

News Items

By posting your News Items, you will keep your business name in front of your customers and potential customers. A News Item should focus on something the customer or potential customer would care about, like a new piece of equipment you now have that will serve them better, a helpful hint, how a newly hired employee that will improve their service, an interesting job or project that has been completed, a hard-to-get item that is now in stock, etc.

Specials

Your Special should really be a Special. Don't just say you have a product that is $9.99 if it has always been $9.99 and will continue to be $9.99 -- that's not a Special.

You can specify the beginning and ending dates of your Special, however, the Special will be displayed on the Home Page of your city and county for a maximum of 15 days from the date you post it. If you want to extend the Special beyond 15 days, all you need to do is amend the dates to reflect an additional period of time.

For example, if your Special runs for the month of March, and you post it on March 1st, your Special can reflect that it runs from March 1st to March 31st, however, on March 16th, it will drop off the Home Pages. To bring it back, you should change the dates to beginning on March 16th and ending on March 31st. This makes Specials more relevant to the site visitor.

If you ordered a special product, at a special price, that you do not normally carry, and when the last one is sold there are no more, this could also be a Special that site visitors might be interested in.

Media Files

Media files includes both video and audio files. Regardless of which one you post, you need to provide the embed code rather than just a link. Almost all video or audio hosting website provide either a link or embed code once you click the "Share" button. You need to select the embed code.

Events

By posting your Events to CitySpokes, they will feed into the Master Event Calendar and be displayed for all to see. This helps people that are also scheduling unrelated events avoid scheduling conflicts. It also helps people plan far out into the future rather than just next week.

The Events you post should only be Events that are open to the public. For example, a Chamber of Commerce meeting for chamber members only should not be posted in CitySpokes.
