How would you like to:

	Compete for new customers with the same muscle as the big corporations, at a fraction of their promotion budgets,
	Get the drop on your competition by making it easier for THEIR customers to find YOU,
	Draw people in your local area -- your neighbors -- like a magnet to your business?

If you would, then this might be the most important letter you'll ever read.

Here's why:

More and more of your customers are going online...and so is your competition. How much longer can YOU afford to wait?”

Three Reasons To Believe What  I Say

Reason One: Did you know that over 48 million adults in the U.S. went online looking for local businesses just like YOURS last year? Would YOU like to know how to turn these pre-heated consumers into YOUR customers?

Reason Two: People spend 80% of their income within 20 miles of home… Consumers are turning to the Internet to research products and services before they buy. Look at how the big boys are reaching out to consumers, driving traffic to their local stores. Staples, Office Depot, Wal-Mart – these guys are all going after the local market in a big way.

Reason Three: Maybe you think that nobody in your industry is using the Internet...but you can bet that whatever your business, one of your competitors is successfully using the Internet to promote their business -- perhaps not locally yet, but it’s just a matter of time.

If Your Local Business Isn’t Online Soon,
You Might Not Be IN Business At All

Savvy business owners are catching on to the fact that the local online market is booming – it’s predicted to be a $50 billion market by 2006. What does this mean for your business?

And now that it’s possible to target consumers by city -- even down to zip code -- more businesses than ever are using the Internet to reach local markets. If your business is not one of them, you’re going to be left behind.

But you're probably saying..."Hey get into the real world, you guys. I'm so busy running my business, I don't have time to learn this internet stuff..."

Or maybe you think the internet is a complete waste of money. Have you heard your friends complaining about their websites --  websites that attracted few visitors and resulted in even fewer sales?

Well, we're here to tell you that no matter what bad experiences you might have had or heard about, no matter which industry you’re in, no matter or how much (or how little) you know about computers, the Internet can help your local business.

But it could take you days, weeks, or even months to figure out what to do, how to do it, and where to list your site so your local prospects can find you. And just as important, you need to know what not to do!
