Our mission is to strengthen and empower small business owners within a local economy by providing online networking tools.
We envision that every small business owner in the United States of America will join together and empower each other through a unifying effort while strengthening the local community.
Summary:
Unifyd.com was created to help Chambers of Commerce, networking groups, other locally focused organizations and local business owners effectively build their business in a localized manner. As business owners we see the difficulties of marketing to your local market in an effective way. We developed a system to solve this issue and to leverage everyone's desire to support other local business owners. This system lets you support other local businesses by displaying their ads on your site and having your self created ad display on theirs. This creates strong local branding and encourages consumers to shop locally. For those that do not have a website, we help create one so that they can benefit from an online presence!

Clinton Brown - Consultant
Clinton Brown was the President of the Yucaipa Valley Chamber of Commerce in California for the 2007 and 2008 years. He has served on the Board of Directors of the same chamber since 2006. As a Chamber President, he had the unique opportunity to see the issues and concerns of Chambers from the point of view of the Executive Director and Board Members.
Through his interaction he found the biggest concerns facing Chambers were creating effective venues for lead exchange, membership renewals, and revenues for the chamber. Simultaneously, being a business owner himself and interacting heavily with Yucaipa Chamber Members, Clinton had an accurate assessment of the pulse of these small business owners.
The biggest concerns facing small business owners were growing their clientele, finding affordable and effective local advertising, and promoting their brand name. Clinton has been a Financial Advisor for 9 years and advises business owners on effective ways to implement investment and insurance products. He resides in Yucaipa, CA and lives with his wife and three children.
