Shingle Springs, CA January
5, 2005 – ElDoradoGuide.com gives local vendors the ability to compete in the
online market
You usually won’t find the words “affordable”
and “online marketing” in the same sentence. As American internet users visit
such major portals such as Yahoo or MSN we are inundated with advertising from big firms pushing Travel, Cars, and Computers.
With the kind of budget that these businesses have, it’s little wonder that you
never see local advertising online. With over ¾ of local households online, this
is the new marketing frontier. Nielsen/NetRatings said consumers spent $8.8
billion online in November 2004. Unfortunately, unless you happen to live in
the area where that site is located, the majority of those tax dollars have
just left your community. As Americans are becoming more aware of how this
impacts their local tax dollars, many have been looking closer to home. Local portals such as the ones provided by
Foothill Guides are becoming an invaluable resource for businesses to reach
that local targeted online audience. ElDoradoGuide.com has set their
advertising cost by the local market, not the world market. Utilizing the over
110,000 views per month, businesses selling everything from elderly care to
massage therapy have been seeing remarkable results. Visitors are thrilled to
be able to access so much local information without having to search the World
Wide Web. It is essential for these local tax dollars
to be kept in the community so that they can be used for schools, roads, growth and safety among other necessary things. About Foothill Guides: Foothill Guides started
serving the local internet community in February 2003 with the launch of
ElDoradoGuide.com, which has since grown to become the most visited website in El Dorado County. Other sites include
PlacerGuide.com, and newest addition CorkBoard.biz. CONTACT INFORMATION:
