What’s Costing Your Business
The Most Money?

What's Costing You Money

Is it Overhead, Labor, Taxes, or
Government Regulation…?

Nah!!

The Answer is…
Not Having Enough Customers!

Let Me Ask You Something…

What are you doing to be different
to set your business apart…
to stand out and be noticed?

There is one single factor that could make a
huge difference in your customer flow…

And
That’s
The Internet!

Local Search Marketing Can Improve Your Bottom Line

If you’re not being different… setting your business apart… and standing out from your competition by using the Internet… you’re missing out on a lot of business!

It’s no secret that the world of the Small Business Owner is changing.
It’s also no secret that our national economic situation is changing dramatically.
Therefore, it probably comes as no surprise that your marketing must also change to
survive… and change fast!

The majority of local business owners are still paying for over inflated print ads and expensive phone book listings to drive customers through their doors. However, in today’s world the results local business owners get from their advertising are so bad that it feels like gambling.

  • BUT… how would you like to have an Edge over your competition?
  • How would you like to have a Steady Stream of Customers coming through your front door?
  • How would you like to Dominate and Control your market so well that it feels like you hit the lottery?

Consumer Habits
Are Changing

Yellow Pages

When was the last time you let your fingers do the walking?

BUSINESS WEEK reported that “consumers now are shifting decisively to online information.” The majority of us are researching online BEFORE we purchase offline!

Consider the following consumer behavior:

  • 70% of US households use the Internet as an information source when shopping locally for products and services. (Kelsey Group)
  • Product research and comparison shopping happens online, but 67% of those purchases happen offline. (Accenture)
  • 90% of purchases are made within 50 miles of a person’s home. (Kelsey Group)
  • 43% of all searches on Google include a geographical identifier.
    • 86% of those people followed up with a phone call.
    • 61% of those people ended up making a purchase offline.

  • 25% of all commercial Internet searches are conducted by users looking for local merchants. (kelsey Group)
  • 84% of US based Internet users performed local searches, or 129 million people, and were looking for a local business.

If your business cannot be found on the Internet during these searches, you are missing valuable revenue dollars that could mean the difference between profit and loss.

In the next 1 – 2 years, smart business owners profitably using the Internet will see their sales erupt like a volcano while those who stand on the sidelines will watch with frustration as their businesses lurch forward at the speed of a glacier! Which One Do You Wanna Be?
