Sheldon Leiba, CEO of The Brampton Board of Trade,
unveils the new BBOT website at www.bramptonbot.com
at December’s After Business. The site was designed
by The Marketing PAD, a fully integrated marketing
company and member of The Brampton Board of Trade.

“Our old site served us well but we wanted a more contemporary
user-friendly site to keep our members informed and
involved in the work of the Board,” says Board of Trade
CEO Sheldon Leiba. “We want the website to be a complete
source of information about The Brampton Board of Trade
and our members.”
The website was designed by The Marketing PAD, a full-service
marketing company in Brampton and member of The Brampton
Board of Trade.
“The website presented an interesting challenge because
of its sheer size. There is a lot of information for
members including an online business directory, event
registration, news and advice, benefits and services
and a calendar of events,” says designer Khaled Iwamura,
a partner in The Marketing PAD. “Despite the volume
of information, we wanted to make navigation intuitive
and as easy as possible.”
The website allows potential members to search for
information about the Board of Trade and its history,
services and benefits and even register for membership.
Members can use the site to find other members, search
out benefits and programs and explore the Board’s position
on a number of policy issues. Visitors can also register
online for upcoming events.
The site is intended to bring together all of the communication
tools employed by The Brampton Board of Trade. Built
into the site are the top stories that run each month
in Trade Talks, the member-driven monthly newspaper.
So members can expect to see business news, Spotlights
on members, Small Business of the Month profiles and
business advice by member contributors. Moreover, the
twice-monthly email Bulletin distributed by CEO Sheldon
Leiba is also available online.
The website also presents a unique opportunity for
advertisers, who want to reach other members or businesses
in Brampton. Special rates are available for members
who want to expand their reach utilizing online services
with Trade Talks.
“I think The Marketing PAD has delivered a great website.
Like all good marketing tools, we hope to be able to
build on this success over time, adding even more benefits
for our members,” Leiba says.
