Coming to the Hay River Review Website
By Jess Fischer HRR Layout & Design
In the ever-changing landscape of information exchange it can be hard to find exactly what you’re looking for. It used to be flipping through the yellow pages would find you the nearest store or service, but that was long ago.
For a short time there was a local business directory on the Hay River Transition Initiative (HRTI) website, but it was hard for the volunteer team (George Adams and myself) to maintain.
For a few years I helped HRR publish a holiday shopping guide in our December edition, and it took a lot of concentrated effort during a busy time of year. Our local email grouplist (HRTI’s TellAll) is a place where folks often ask about goods or services nearby, but unless you keep good notes, it’s hard to use as a listing. Now that Hay River Review has an online presence, with staff to maintain it, it seems we have a great spot to host a local business directory!
A listing in the directory costs just $20/yr., which helps fund building and maintaining it.
We’ll point folks to the directory through social media, TellAll, events, and in our monthly papers.
Launch will be Nov. 1st (Oct 15th deadline to be listed for launch). With the holidays coming, now’s a great time to get your business on the list!
