corporations and major chains

Having a website isn’t enough
• How do people find it?
• How do you drive traffic
to a website?
• Are you satisfied with your current
web presence?
Search optimization companies are far too expensive for
most local businesses!

results. The more reviews you have, the better your results.
A Comment on the Economy
• When times are bad for the economy, it can be a great time to
start a business. In fact, 16 of the 30 companies that make up the
Dow industrial average were started during a recession or
depression. These include Procter & Gamble, Disney, Alcoa,
McDonald's, General Electric and Johnson & Johnson
• These economic times are an opportunity. Companies that make
it will end up with a larger market share than when they started.
• How does one take advantage of the opportunity? By being known
—how does one get known? Marketing and promotion
• Without promotion something terrible happens..nothing
