What are good advertising strategies for a local business?

Help with online advertising?

  • I started a website in order to provide people in a particular city a place to find every manner of business. I haven't launched the site, like advertise it to the public yet, I am having trouble getting clients for the simple fact that they have never heard of it before. What are some strategies I can adopt to get people on my side and convince them to purchase online advertising? I am going to adopt a new strategy in which I offer them free advertising from now until Dec1, at which point if they choose to stay they pay an extremely low monthly fee of 20$ for 3 months...18$ for 6...16 for 9 and 15 for 12. What are pros and cons of doing this? suggestions are NEEDED and help is required.

  • Answer:

    Hi etown, Typically, sites similar to yours allow advertising listings for free. Then charge for featured ad space and/or to enhance a listing. Since you haven't advertised your site yet, I would assume that don't have enough traffic to attract paid listings. All the best, SM4BIZ http://sm4business.wordpress.com
