The Billion Dollar Question for 2010:

How does our company get ahead of the competition without losing sight of the bottom line?

"Go Local" - because people like buying from people they know, like, or can relate to in some way (think neighborhood).

Isn’t it true that everyone’s price point is very close to one another in the market place (for both products and similar services)? Of course, from time to time someone may try to “buy” business but all things being equal pricing is rather close?

Wouldn't you agree that the slim margin of sales victory will be determined by those who most successfully “connect” with the individual who’s doing the buying?

With the advent of mobile and online-local search engines, it has become a little bit easier to connect with your customers at the exact time that person is ready to buy.

If this is true, then why are only a fraction of Michigan Businesses exploiting the power of local business listings on Google, The Michigan Business Directory, Bing, Yelp and other local directories and communities?

We think that it's because of "lack of time" and "lack of expertise" - THAT is why the Michigan Business Directory has partnered with Smart Finds Internet to offer you an economical way to exponentially increase your local online presence.

Make 2010 a "local" year and jump start your local business with this economical listing package. It's as Easy as 1-2-3-Win!
