Merits of Local Advertising

Does Local Adverti^sing Work?

Here in Alberta, we help each other out if we can.

My friend and business associate, Christina Dennis is in the final stages of putting a website and catalog style booklet (Directory) out to 18,000 Parkland County, Alberta residents. You know where Parkland County is if you're from Edmonton, even Calgary.

It's a great opportunity for you to place an ad with her to reach 18,000 potential clients!

Right now, local small business is standing up and making noises!

We hear you!

Heck, Christina for one understands that you want your business to be something you're proud of. Something your kids are proud of for you. Something you can say to yourself any time of day, "Hey, I did something good today!"

Christina understands that as a small business, the challenges of keeping home business growing is important. Adverti^sing her own small business to local home prospects doubled her results. Now she wants to help you too!

You may be interested in putting your ad into this new Directory to 18,000 people this September.

May 31, 2009 is your last chance to sign up to place an ad in the Parkland Business Directory. An ad in the booklet starts at only $199 + GST which includes a web spot as well.

So go ahead and visit http://www.parklandhomebusiness.ca/ for more details or to sign up online.

Christina has extended her coupon offer -- if you sign up for the Directory before May 31, 2009, she will give you a 10% off coupon towards your advertising.

She is also offering a new incentive. For every friend you refer place an ad in the Directory, and if they purchase an ad (any size), she will give you an additional 20% off of your advertising.

Now that's a deal. That means a FR^EE ad if you refer 5 people to the Directory and they purchase a spot! (Referral Incentive Offer Expires May 31, 2009).

Are you a writer? Have valuable insight?

Christina is also looking for individuals to write articles for the directory.

If your submitted article is chosen to be published, you will receive an additional 20% off of your advertising (and your name and contact info can be featured at the bottom of the article).

There's simply no two ways around it...

Whether you want to start a profitable business ... or dramatically expand your existing business...

YOU MUST HAVE COPY THAT SELLS LIKE HOTCAKES!

Flyers, brochures, your business card, or the Internet, where up to 1.4 billion+ web surfers.will read your site at one time or another... all of them potential customers!

But it's all a waste if your copy isn't FIRST CLASS.

You'll just be spinning your wheels, not sure why things just aren't working out as you hoped.

That's why I wrote a simple ebook with a plan of how to draft winning copy! Check it out.

Great day and great job today,
