City Clicker Overview

City Clickers.com is a well thought out design of today's modern local community portal. It's main objective in the community  is to increase traffic to a variety of other sites in the community, in addition to providing a social communications network involving the local consumer in the review and purchasing process of local products and services.

 At City Clickers we believe that a good community portal, that allows other sites in the community to point to it, can make it easier to find the community on the Web. This allows the community portal the potential to score higher in the search engine ratings due to its broader and more inclusive approach to community information. Search engine rankings and the location of the community in the rankings is especially important for tourism efforts and for businesspeople who may need to travel to the community.

A Community Portal

The City Clickers community portal is a recruitment tool for families and local economy workers, business owners, and entrepreneurs who want the small town quality of life. All of our potential residents in the City Clickers community portal will use the Web on a daily basis to research places to live, restaurants, retail stores ect.  All types of places they can search, find and make online purchases, saving money by going to the store to pick up the item purchased in the same day, saving delivery costs.

The City Clickers community portal will be a valuable asset in attracting all levels of individuals and families, from those looking to save big to those potentially in the six figure income range. The  City Clickers community portal will be a critical part of all local economic development efforts, supporting  local community groups and meetings such as City Councils, County commissions, Chambers of Commerce, etc. all being  a vital part of the economic development of dynamic and "connected" communities. In addition creating a savvy, tech-ready workforce and an informed citizenry. This environment will encourage outside Businesses to move to a community  that is comfortable with technology and clearly making modest investments to stay current.

The City Clickers community portal markets the community across a wide variety of interests. with a multiple purpose in mind. Number one on the list is to keep residents and businesses within the community informed about current activities, groups, commerce and local government. Second and equally important is to give others, from outside the community, a greater insight and knowledge about the community itself.

Another key factor of the City Clickers portal is its power as a marketing tool for the community. Our portal becomes an important part of tourism efforts, a way to get travelers and visitors to stop and spend money on lodging and meals, to market local businesses to customers outside the community, and to project a modern and vibrant image to the world. Through the City Clickers community portal we can show the rest of the world a vibrant, attractive, and great place to live and to work. Each community portal must be of the highest quality to project that image.

Local Consumers Attraction

We at City Clickers believe our feature-rich community portal with multiple ways to inform community members about what is happening in the community (e.g. community calendar, discussion forums, RSS feeds, blogs, automated reminders, etc.) and local News, Weather & Sports has the potential to increase civic participation. There have been numerous studies, formal and informal in other communities with active community portals that indicate when residents have the right information at the right time, they tend to get more involved in the life of the community. In other words, they are more inclined to get out of the house and attend community meetings and to take part in community and civic activities.

The City Clickers community portal is also a tool for workforce development. With features like blogs for all users and the ability to distribute posting privileges, many people in the community have the opportunity to acquire new skills by using the community portal as an interactive, hands-on learning tool through our powerful E-Course automated training system. As residents acquire these skills, their marketability in the workplace increases and the community becomes more attractive to relocating businesses as well as to businesses already in the community.

Business Model

The overall City Clickers Business model goes one huge step beyond all that has been said to this point. We do not consider ourselves as merely a community portal, even though that is one of our strong points, But the strongest of our capacities is that we are also a "Super Portal"  in that we are network of community portals connecting thousands of community portals across the country and eventually around the world. Our goal of establishing a link upwards of 50,000 community portals creates some of the most powerful business advantages ever conceived in the community environment.

This massive network of community portals now becomes an ongoing resource for the communities at large, for a myriad of technology applications. Our Super Portal allows the ability of individual community portals to constantly review and update according to the input and feedback from the success or failure of other community portals. In addition each community can accumulate a knowledge of a variety of new and ever growing Internet-based services like RSS news feeds, blogging, Voice over IP telephony, and other developments.

Educating the Public

The City Clickers Super Portal Model can provide evaluations, links, and resources on the site itself to help residents and businesses in the community make informed decisions. As part of the training and education component of the effort, short courses and seminars can be offered on topics of interest to the community. This regular and constant focus both on education and innovation will continually increase the capacity of the community to make appropriate technology and telecommunications investments to address a wide variety of public and private needs.

The powerful and innovative City Clickers Super Portal, brings a centralizing of many community building resources like local RSS feeds, online Super Stores with e-commerce, local online business directories,  localized coupons and certificates, classified ads, Job boards, entertainment  and event calendars, local video tube and so much more.

The City Clickers Super Portal allows for easier access to residents and visitors in finding out what is going throughout the community and other surrounding communities, increasing traffic across the board, bringing the entire community more in touch with the important community sites (e.g. Chamber of Commerce, tourism site, local government site) and of course the local businesses, increasing local spending, creating new jobs, keeping locally spent dollars rotating in the community just a little bit longer, thus establishing a much stronger economic stability in  every community that participates.

The Monetizing Model

Finally, City Clickers community portal project will provide a huge savings by becoming a valuable technology resource in the communities, to the residents, local businesses, and local governments over time.  A savings that comes from spending less on technology and getting more value for the funds that are expended.

The new and powerful City Clickers community portal and super portal, can help raise community awareness about the value of Co-op buying needs, while the community benefits directly by having more funds available for core needs and objectives. Indirectly, increased investments, especially by businesses on the core business rather than on overhead, will, over time, lead to increased economic development, new job opportunities, and a community that is vibrant, livable, and prosperous.
