Every business owner has a lot of "balls in the air".  Each of them require time and focus whether they be working with customers, employees, payroll, vendors, advertising & marketing - But when business owners are asked point blank, "What's the biggest 'ball in the air' you're concerned about?" 80% respond quickly, "Customers...getting more customers"

Thanks to new technology local businesses can now cash in? and I'm about to show you how a simple, easy, "no-brainer" decision on your part will unleash the power of the internet to drive brand new LOCAL customers into your store or call you about your products/services! The response and success was so successful that we created our own local division named: OnlineLocally.com
Before we move on, let us clear up a few common, but inaccurate beliefs.

WRONG - The Internet can only be used to market to the entire World Wide Web.  It cannot be used to target customers in a small, localized area.

Did you know that 70% of U.S. households now use the Internet as an information source when shopping for products and services locally.

Did you know that over 1.1 Billion times every month (that's 1,100,000,000) people go to their computer or log on to the Internet from their cell phones, and search for businesses in their area.  (We're sure people don't do this for fun either, they do it because they are LOOKING for the product or service that YOU provide!)

Obviously, you have to make your own decisions about what's important to your business, but you know as well as we do that countless business have been lost in the 'dust-bin of history' because they adhered to the status quo. 

Businesses still provide goods and services, and people still go to a trusted source - a directory - to find those goods and services.  That hasn't changed.  However, what has changed is that consumers are no longer using the bulky old yellow pages directories like they used to, but are instead turning to the Internet directories to find the goods and services they want.
The value of a good directory is obvious - a complete listing of local businesses is a fantastic idea!  But you need to be where today's customers are looking for you now - and it just so happens that they're not looking in the yellow pages like they once did.
What if there was a way to meet new customers in a place just like the yellow pages - where they're actively looking for your products and services - but it existed on the Internet instead of in a heavy old book.

NOW THERE IS A WAY.

There's been a tremendous void in local 'online' marketing for businesses, even though so many consumers are using the Internet to look for local businesses.  Sure, there were some less-than-perfect options out there, but there wasn't a complete solution...Until Now.

The Internet has taken the place of the bulky, out-of-date directories we know as the yellow pages.  But the idea of directories isn't a bad one (in fact, it's brilliant). The concept of the Yellow Pages is the best thing available because you will always ONLY hit your primed, ready to buy prospects.  The problem with the old heavy yellow pages book is that people aren't using them like they used to.  More and more people are looking online for this information.  In fact, like we mentioned before, there are over 1.1 Billion online searches for local businesses performed every single month.  The reason people are making this switch is because it's faster, it's easier, it provides you with more information about the product/service you are looking for, and it's updated much more regularly than the traditional hard copy yellow pages.  There is no doubt that this trend will only continue as more people are getting internet at home and not to mention on their cell phones and PDA's.

It's the same with the yellow pages - sure, consumers can still pick up those bulky, heavy, ink-staining-your-hands, old directories, but do they?  NO...not nearly as often as they used to. We don't know about you, but the only thing my yellow-pages directory is doing is taking up space in a drawer.

Normally, just to get a medium-sized ad listed in the yellow pages it would cost you at least a couple hundred per month, and that?s just for a black and white ad listed under only one category.  What if your business does more than one thing?  AND, usually most communities have at least two yellow-page directories.

The key to this great value: Competition.
The yellow pages pretty much invented the local business directory.  Because they we're the only game in town, they've had a lock on this basic form of advertising since they started, back in 1878!

They've been the only player in this market for well over 100 years, and they knew that - they have no incentive to give you, the hard-working business owner (their paying customer) a fair price - so they just continue to raise their rates year after year after year.  Prices go up and Return on Investment (ROI) goes down. This is precisely why businesses pulled $1.2 Billion in advertising away from traditional yellow page directories in 2004.
The Internet has shifted the balance of power. Now you can get listed where your potential customers are looking for you for just a fraction of the price that the yellow pages will charge you. That's the beauty of a competitive marketplace - at the end of the day the winner is the customer and in this case, that's YOU!The public has spoken?

Consumers want to be able to find your business on the Internet when they're searching for local goods and services. (Read Full Story)

Don't make the mistake that so many business owners do ? don't let the future of your business fall to chance.  Take control of your situation and make sure that eager, ready-to-buy consumers - your future customers - find your business online when they're looking for your types of products and services.

Sincerely, The OnlineLocally.com Team
