Marketing Has Changed... Old Methods Replaced By Next Generation Marketing!

"We always ask our new customers how they found out about us. Last month the shop had 5 new clients from our page on YourPentictonGuide.com" - Lee, Waves of Art Waves of Art Hair Salon

If you wanted to promote your business ten years ago, you placed an ad in the Yellow pages. You may have run weekly ads in your local newspapers. If you were really on the ball and aggressive about your marketing, you might consider a "farming" campaign of direct mail letters to your local area.

Times have changed. Competition is on every street corner. The Internet and big retailers are muscling in on every industry.

Businesses using yesterday's advertising fail at an amazing rate, because the world has changed.

We live in the Internet generation.

Currently 36% of all searches online are made looking for a local business.

These are people looking for a business just like yours...cash in hand and ready to buy.

This is the same reason the Yellow pages used to work so well. Nobody opens one unless they're finding a company to do business with. Today the Internet is quickly replacing the Yellow Pages as the tool of choice...at bargain basement prices.

"I love the site. Definitely bang for our buck. Our webpage effectively describes who we are and what we do. And – even better- it brings us customers! I also love the monthly newsletter, I save them all. Great hints and tips and love the stories." Donna at Mr. Cartridge

Introduction to Local Business
Internet Marketing

The Internet is going local. You wouldn't consider being in business without a phone. You shouldn't consider being in business without being found online.

Yet, 90% of small business websites are dying from lack of traffic! They don't generate business. They don't generate leads. They don't make sales. They're simply a drain on your budget.

YourPentictonGuide.com is one year old and growing rapidly in traffic numbers. (see below.)

People overwhelmingly tell us they love the site - both our readers and our advertisers. You see, more and more people simply "Google™" when they are searching for a local business or service.

Unfortunately up until now, the results for local business directories have been pretty dismal. They pretty much consist of a basic business listing; the name of the business, address, phone number, possibly a map, and a link to the website if they have one.

Our site, however, is entirely different. Each business has a full page devoted to them - outlining the reasons people in Penticton like doing business with them. And even more importantly, we know how to make the search engines find us.


How Can We Help You?

YourPentictonGuide.com is a business directory for individual businesses, but unlike other directories, each business has its own web page - providing compelling reasons to deal with your business.

And importantly, a web page from a site that can be found for someone who is searching for your type of business in Penticton. Using powerful marketing formulas, we’ll write a web page for your business to attract good, new customers. We’ll help you differentiate yourself from the competition.

"My spa business has definitely seen results from my web page at YourPentictonGuide.com. It is so nice to have an ad that actually "works" without costing the moon. Plus I love the fact that I can make changes to it at anytime." Deanna, Daydream Esthethics

Don't Have A Website?

No problem. We will design a full page 'webpage' for your business or service. You can have your own mini website, in a high traffic area - all for $25 month!

No matter what your local business is…even if your business is as “everyday” as anything from home cleaning to dry cleaning, you will find this an effective way to find new customers. The key is traffic. You do need a web presence…one that works - and doesn’t cost a fortune.

See an example of Dr Tamara Browne Naturopath clinic.

Have A Website?

If you have an existing site, www.yourpentictonguide.com will leverage your investment by building you a 'webpage' - a page designed to recommend your business to visitors from Search Engines.

Our popular site will also link to your website. That targeted traffic to your existing site then completes the job (i.e., generates leads, make sales). This two-step process is extremely effective.



We will build you a ‘full page’ web presence which includes:

  • A full page explaining why people deal with your business
  • Photos and your logo
  • All your contact information and address
  • A direct link so that potential customers can email you
  • A click-through to your own web-site, if you have one
  • Provide information to build trust and deepen relationships
  • Ability to provide testimonials from existing customers.
See how different this level of information is compared to a typical business directory?

You can have all this for $25 per month. If you wish to guarantee top spot in your category, the cost is only $40 per month, and is on a first-come basis. You can have someone local provide you with a solution that:

  • Brings exposure to your business when someone is searching online for a local provider in the Penticton area of products
  • Gives you a one page web advert in a high traffic area
  • Drives traffic to your website if you have one
  • Provides you with prestige and status in your community
  • Is completely affordable

Once you sign up, we'll use our powerful marketing formulas, to build an effective web page to promote your business. One that is designed to make people want to choose you to do business with. One that establishes trust.

Businesses that have already signed up, have told us this exercise alone, has been very worthwhile for them.

"I look forward to the newsletter every month. I read it cover to cover, especially the tips. One brought me a "light bulb " moment regarding my business." Theresa Angel Babies Kids Shoppe

If you do not find this an effective way to market your business, you can simply cancel your ad. There is no risk to you.

In a Sea Full of Worn Out Yesterday's Marketing Techniques, These Strategies Work Almost Like Magic...

"The internet has become our phone book, dictionary, encyclopedia, sales brochure, research vehicle and back fence for gossip. Like it or not, you're going to have to do a better job online if you want to flex your muscles in 2009."– Roy H. Williams, the Monday Morning Memo
