Having a website is a great way to promote and expose your business.  Once you’re up and running you’ll want to get the best out of it.

Make sure your stationery, promotional material, vehicle and premises signage if appropriate all display your web address prominently.

Then think about other ways to promote your business, both web-related and other.

The Magnet

This used to be called the Billposter promotion - now it's just "the magnet".  It’s been around since 2001 and is a very handy simple way of keeping your business top of mind.

You may have seen the familiar Billposter half way up his ladder posting promotions for local businesses.  You may even have one on your fridge! 

Well, why not list YOUR business?

You can list either a business name or a web address. See details at www.magnetadvertising.com.au, and the businesses on current magnets are listed on www.locals.com.au. 

    
Local People Directory

Check out the Local People directory, www.localpeople.com.au.  If you host your website with us you are entitled to a free listing and link on this one.  It’s a very busy directory that has been made popular by flyer distribution between Mordialloc and Frankston.  So if you do business in this area it’s a good idea to get listed with us.  If you host with us and can’t find your business there, please let us know and we’ll make sure you’re listed.

Local Directories and On-Line Marketing

If you serve the local community, you’ll need to get listed on the new local directories.  There are many of them out there – Google Local, True Local, Start Local, to name but a few.

You can list your business yourself or we can work with you to make sure you get complete business coverage on the appropriate directories for your business type. 

There are many ways we can help you with on-line marketing - video creation, article marketing, email lists. We can put together a complete package designed to get your target customers on your books and keep them there.

For on-line marketing we take only a handful of clients. Each client must have a web site and be aware of the need to invest in themselves in order to grow their business. Maybe you've been a participant in the paper directories, and you find they're not working for you any more. Maybe you just believe in owning your market right in your local area (clever you!!!). Let us transition you into the type of promotion that works now, not what worked yesterday.
