Membership Benefits with Tin Shingle

Share

Tin Shingle is a showcase, resource and community for entrepreneurs, small businesses and independent brands. As a member, you are main focus of this website - YOU are the feature!  All of your postings are available to the public - your personal and business profiles, your listings in The Marketplace, your listings in Member Events, and any article that we write that features you.  Membership benefits are described below:

MARKETING PLATFORM

Entrepreneur Directory

PERSONAL PROFILE
Your personal profile page on our website is a reflection of you as a business owner. List your headshot and bio, as well as links of where to find you online. Your profile page will display any listings you've posted to our website.
Example: Katie Hellmuth Martin

BUSINESS PROFILE (up to 5)
Create a business profile on our website. If you are an entrepreneurial addict and have several ventures or specialties you want to promote, we understand. For each of your ventures, upload your logo, create multiple links to where to find it online (like if you have a Facebook page or YouTube channel), and list it in our Business Directory.
Example: Magnolia PR

BUSINESS DIRECTORY
The Business Directory is a public directory, available to the world. It is researched by our PR team to pitch members to special leads we get. We refer all media contacts and potential clients and customers to this directory to find business.

Marketplace THE MARKETPLACE
Feature your product or service in The Marketplace.  These are very SEO friendly. If people are Googling your product or service, your listing very well may come up in the search results, so make it snappy! Listings are automatically featured around the website and run in our free newsletter (consider it a free banner ad). Listings are live for the length of your membership, unless it is a special available for limited time.
