About MIU

As a business owner and entrepreneur, you sometimes feel as though your just one guy up against an army of obstacles with your marketing campaign. Often you find yourself wishing that you can be at two places at the same time covering simultaneous events, or speaking to several people at once when you attend an event. No matter how hard you try to stay connected and keep an ear to the ground, you sometimes hear about an event after the fact and wish that somehow you would have known before hand and not miss that opportunity. You often struggle with the decision on which type of advertising you want to spend your hard earned dollars on.

During these challenging economic times, wouldn’t it be great if you can find and join a group of people just like you that understand exactly what your challenges are? We do. That’s why we created “Members In Unity” site. We built this site to help local businesses get united and collaborate with their marketing efforts. We believe that by finding a central place for business owners to meet and engage in ideas, everyone will benefit and have success with their business.

Another mission we have is to educate each other about our own respective businesses. In learning more about each other, we can bring that small town feeling and trust when buying or referring services to others. This site is just one of our ways of giving back to the business community with a vision of uniting our marketing forces to help drive success for all our members.

Explore. Engage. Exceed.
