The local small business owner!

You’ve been using all the traditional marketing methods – newspaper ads, yellow pages ads, fliers, direct mail pieces, radio ads, television. However, you’ve noticed that these old ways just aren’t working like they used to.

You’re not ignorant. You know that consumers are using the internet more and more to find the products and services they want, but you’ve been too busy running your business to find the time to familiarize yourself with the whole internet marketing thing.

You’re not alone. The internet has changed the world quickly, and with millions of cell phones and smart phones being sold every day, it’s changing even faster! Very few local small business owners have been able to keep track of what this means for their particular business.

You’re smart to be here. After reading a few articles, and downloading the
Google Places book, you’ll know more than most of your competition knows about internet marketing. And with a little more diligence, you’ll even be able to get started fairly easily all on your own.

One of the first things you should do is read about Local Search so that you understand the way the search engines deliver information to people searching for local business products and services. You’ll also discover that you can actually set up your own website if you have the time and inclination.

This site is for you to be able to educate yourself about how to utilize the many internet marketing methods available, and lead you to the resources you need to build your own “web presence”.

My goal here is to help you get more clients/customers and make more sales in a remarkably economical way.  Compared to the traditional marketing methods, the internet can give you a huge return for a small investment.

What that means for you, the local small business owner, is that you can take advantage of the internet in the same way that the huge major corporations do!
