New online Chronicle sure to be a click hit!

Readers, businesses and community groups will all benefit from super website

THE Oldham Evening Chronicle launches an exciting new website today to complement the news and advertising service it provides through its daily and weekly titles.

As well as up-to-date news, sports news and pictures – and news, sport and pictures from the past few weeks – the new website offers special services for businesses and community groups.

For business, Chronicle online is a local business search engine, allied to the most comprehensive, most up-to-date business directory in Oldham.

Users can access the details of the 4,710 local businesses in our database using the search navigation box in the navigation menu.

Businesses can also have their own website on Chronicle Online to help visitors and potential customers make an informed choice about which business to contact.

And businesses can gain a competitive advantage and attract customers with a Chronicle Online sponsored link where they can highlight their business name, give a description of up to 50 words and link through to their own website.

Readers can book holidays online with Chronicle Reader Travel’s holiday partners and view and print out our own holiday lists.

The site also highlights full listings of local events and local and regional theatre programmes to help users to plan their leisure time.

And a key feature of the new site is the communities section which enables clubs, groups and associations to place their details and, if they so wish, have a web page with contacts, meeting times and news about their group and its activities.

The exciting new website, produced in co-operation with the Chronicle’s web partner, Rochdale Online, gives us much more scope and flexibility to develop than the former site.

As it develops it will offer a more comprehensive service with potential for video clips and live news bulletins and an interactive forum.

It will be the place to go to first to find out what is happening in Oldham, what has happened in Oldham and what Oldham people are thinking and talking about.

And access to this exciting new site could not be easier. It can be found on www.oldham-chronicle.co.uk, the same address as the previous online Chronicle.

So don’t be left out, join the dash to the new online Chronicle, the best way to be in the know.
