The Beginning of an Idea.

Doing business in Prattville is a pleasure and it was my plan after 23 years of US Air Force service. The one problem I had was finding information about this city. Yes, we would Google “Prattville” and there were numerous listings. Eventually we would find the information we were looking for, but not before reviewing 10 or 12 sites first. Most of the information is there, however, most sites focus on small distinct subjects about Prattville. That’s when it hit me. If we were to build a site, dedicated to the City of Prattville and the surrounding areas, that encompances all types of subjects like local government, schools, real estate, shopping, home repair, and many more, then people looking for “Prattville” would find it all in one conveinient place that they could visit again and again. We started doing our market research based on this simple idea. We wanted to offer small businesses a great deal in order for them to advertise within our site and throughout our network of sites.

We started our research by looking at what advertising mediums were available and the cost of each. First we looked at the newspapers, although a good advertising venue, they were kind of expensive and based on our survey of 48 small business owners, didn’t return well. Radio was next and was found to be very expensive, but with proven increases in customer traffic. Most small business owners couldn’t afford the fees for this type of advertising especially on a continueing basis. Regional Flyers was the next venue we investigated. This form of advertising is widely used by small businesses and it’s return is not trackable. Small business owners are taken in at times from high pressure sales people who must meet thier quoata to make money. These flyers are sometimes included in local newspapers or mailed in bulk mailings, but only to regionalized areas. This form of advertising brings the local customers in but does nothing for those potential customers outside the local area or region.

Our web site can be viewed 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, by anyone who has a computer, which is a currently 7 out of 10 homes or businesses in the world. No more being local! Our web ads make your business advertising an “International” offering. That’s right, anyone in the world who has a computer can search and find your business through our network. If you’ve never comptemplated shipping world wide, now is the time and with our ads, you will be getting your product or service out to customers all over the world.

Now, what should we charge for all of this “Face Time”, being when your add is available to the public. On our site, it’s 24/7/365. In the local newspaper, it’s maybe one day a week or month, then your ad is either in the bottom of a bird’s cage or used to start the BBQ grill and you don’t even know if your ad was read before it got tossed. With our “Ad Tracker” you will know which ads are getting the customers and which ones aren’t working so good. We keep track of that for you. Not to mention that once you join our network, which includes others in business just like you, you gain in “Mutual Promotions” Mutual Promotions is when someone else list your ad page on their web site. It’s like a referral, only better. This referal or link as we call it, isn’t just a one time thing. The links stay on all of our network sites and continue to bring you customer traffic for as long as you are a member. Wow! All of this and for less than you think. We decided to take the average local newspaper ad which runs for one month, maybe a daily or weekly newspaper, and a space of a 2″ X 4″ ad. We then took 10% off of that price and are offering you a listing in our new web site at that price, but for a FULL YEAR! Remember, our ads are available 24/7/365. Your customers can refer back to your ad again and again and be able to refer others to it as well. Advertising in this medium at that price for a full year is unheard of. It’s our way of getting you to help us fill our pages with useful ads and information so that we can boast about having the most comprehensive city guide web site on the Internet. You become the real winner here!

For much less than you are currently spending on newspaper ads or flyer ads for one month, you can be listed on an International Web Site Address that you can use as your business referal web site. Imagine telling a customer to go to www.PrattvilleGuide.com/YOURBUSINESS to get more information about your company or organization or your products/services. And all for a price that is set at 1/12th what you normally spend in a year, but for a whole year of constant advertising. It simply dosen’t get any better than this. You’ve got to at least give us a try.

We are not even finished building all of the subject pages that will be available on our site and yet, we are getting over 1350 visitor hits per week. People are currious as to what we offer and are already looking for information about Prattville on our site. You need to get your business or organization listed now so that you too can experience the rapid growth that we are about to have on this site. Remember, we are keeping our prices down to less than that of a newspaper ad in order to help us start to fill our site with useful information. Once it’s filed and running and with all types of ads and information, we won’t be able to offer these prices ever again. So now is the time. Oh yeah, I almost forgot to mention it, but you will get a good discount on subsequent year long subsciptions as well. We won’t forget who helped us get this thing started. One more thing. If you own two or more businesses, you get a further discount for advertising with us too. 

1350 visitor hits in a week and we are not even fully set up yet. That is almost the total  number of newspapers the Prattville Progress sold last Wednesday. Trust me, this thing is going to be big and we are already looking at branching out as we are in the process of building a sister site for the city of Newnan Georgia. Go to www.NewnanGuide.com and check on our progress there too. Remember, these sites will remain on the Internet for years to come. The longer you stay with us, the more you’ll save in advertising cost. Who knows, with the money you’ll be saving on advertising, we can build you a customized web site for your company or organization and it will wind up costing you no more than you are spending right now!
