RelyLocal – Roswell  

Social Media Revolution 2 (Refresh) from Erik Qualman on Vimeo.

Do you think your business doesn’t need to be “online”? Do you think your customers are “old-fashioned” and don’t use the internet to find what they need?  Think again!

We live in an age of instant gratification and instant access to everything and anything.  People want what they want NOW.  They might be able to call you if they are looking during business hours and if they use the phone book.  But what if they are using their computer or their cell phone or what if they go online at 2 AM searching for information about your product or service; will they find you or your competition?  Today people expect to find what they want online.  If you do not have information about your business easily accessible on the internet, preferably a website but at least an information page, your customers will find someone else who does.

From the Roswell Chamber of Commerce:

PLANNING TO EXCEL: STRATEGIC PLANNING THAT WORKS

Do you know where your business or organization is going?

Do leaders and managers in your business or organization know where you want them to go?

Do your employees know what their part is in the business or organization’s success?

If you can’t answer yes to all three questions, you need to plan!

Come hear Bob Mason describe his successful strategic planning model!

June 17, 2010 9:00 am – 12-00 pm

at the Roswell Chamber of Commerce

The speaker has a class limit of twenty five, therefore seats will be available on a first come first serve basis.  Please contact the Chamber of Commerce at 575-623-5695 to reserve your seat.  This seminar is free for Chamber members and $25 for non-members.

What if you could move your merchandise faster without having to turn profit into a loss?  For most retailers this is a common dilemma with a common reaction of placing merchandise on clearance, in a basket on the floor, on a shelf out of sight or stored away in the warehouse.  What if you could sell your merchandise using “Sale” prices AND coupons?  Even better, what if you could advertise your sales or clearance items for only $25 a month?

Our web site is a small but integral piece of our entire local marketing solution. You simply choose a category (or multiple) in which to feature your business listing and we’ll take care of inputting all of your information. Our first goal is to drive traffic to your business – online or off. A potential customer can then continue on to your site for more information or walk into your place of business to see the merchandise that you advertised with RelyLocal.

In addition to the new customers you will gain directly from RelyLocal.com, you will begin to see increased traffic and exposure on many other search engines and directories. With things like Meta keywords and even the content on your page becoming less relevant to search engines (because it can be manipulated), your site being featured on trusted sites like RelyLocal.com will help to increase your search engine rankings.

Contact Krisann at 575-910-6067 now and she will also consult with you to make sure you are getting the most out of your listings on sites like Google Maps, Yahoo Local, and MSN Local.
