			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The answer is &ldquo;YES&rdquo; through <a href="http://www.stretchmarketing.net/contact-us/">local business internet marketing</a>!&nbsp; And conversely, we can also help your prospects, in need of your product or service, find you.&nbsp; Hi, I&rsquo;m &ldquo;Stretch&rdquo; and yes, we&rsquo;re a little informal.&nbsp; It is however, our team&rsquo;s goal, to work full time to help Company&rsquo;s like yours grow, through our efforts to find prospective customers that are actually looking for you!&nbsp; Bet you didn&rsquo;t know that 30% of ALL searches online have &ldquo;local intent&rdquo;, meaning almost 1 out of every 3 folks online are searching to solve local problems or buy local products. &nbsp;There are a myriad of aspects that make Internet Marketing or local business online marketing the way to go, whether your company is a big fish in a little pond or a little fish in a lake.&nbsp; Times are tough, but we can find customers that need your products and/or services.&nbsp;</p>

<h3><b>You won&rsquo;t need to &ldquo;Stretch&rdquo; your Budget for our Help</b></h3>
<p></center></p>
<p>Once you see everything that we can do for you, you&rsquo;ll see that we&rsquo;ll end up being, not only affordable, but over time &ndash; one of the most cost effective aspects of your business.&nbsp; Some companies actually hire people to do what we do and then end up paying a salary, benefits and the whole enchilada to them.&nbsp; That simply just isn&rsquo;t necessary.&nbsp; It&rsquo;s far more cost effective for you to outsource your internet marketing to us.&nbsp; This is our specialty and it&rsquo;s all we do.&nbsp; Are you currently running an advertisement in the Yellow Pages?&nbsp; Are you running more than one ad because you have ads in more than one telephone book? &nbsp;I&rsquo;ve found that, while this isn&rsquo;t all that uncommon, if you are participating in this practice, we need to talk. When was the last time that you used a phone book for finding a telephone number &hellip; for anyone?&nbsp; Let&rsquo;s face it, most people keep the numbers of the folks they talk to, saved in their phone now-a-days &nbsp;and when it comes time to find a local business, they are either &ldquo;Googling&rdquo; them from their wireless device or turning to their computer for the phone number, or even a map to get an idea of how close the business is, relative to their location.</p>
<p><center></p>
<h3><b>Advertising in the Stone Age</b></h3>
<p></center></p>
<p>So &hellip; How do your Prospects find you?&nbsp; Are you &ldquo;Visible&rdquo;?&nbsp; The bottom line is that <em>newspapers are failing</em>.&nbsp; The Yellow Pages are <em>being thrown away</em> and when they aren&rsquo;t, the ads people see don&rsquo;t change for a year at a time (may as well have chiseled your ad in a stone tablet).&nbsp; Radio and television can be a little tricky and very expensive, but at least you can get detailed reports that show you who saw your ad, how long they looked at it and where they came from, right?&nbsp; Wait, I&rsquo;m thinking of advertising that&rsquo;s done online.&nbsp; When local businesses advertise online, those advertisements can be changed weekly or on a day&rsquo;s notice.&nbsp; Actually they can be as timely as the business owner wants.&nbsp; And if something isn&rsquo;t working, it can be tweaked slightly for better results.&nbsp; Special events, either within the company or externally &#8211; in the community, can be opportunities to promote or advertise specials and more importantly, your business.&nbsp; There is a trend developing&nbsp;where businesses are starting to move away from <a href="http://www.kelseygroup.com/research/local-commerce-monitor.asp " target="_blank">traditional advertising</a>.</p>
<p><center></p>
<h3><b><em>What the flip are they talking about</em>?&nbsp; <em>SEO &hellip; what</em>?</b></h3>
<p></center></p>
<p>We can put up a &ldquo;Search Engine Optimized&rdquo; website for you or SEO the site you have.&nbsp; And before I go any further, I&rsquo;ll admit that a few years ago, when I owned a brick and mortar business locally, I would&rsquo;ve said, &ldquo;What?&rdquo; when I first started reading this paragraph.&nbsp; Ok, this terminology may be &ldquo;a little out there&rdquo; for the average business owner, but in lemans&rsquo; terms, it just means, &ldquo;the stuff that helps get you seen when folks on the net are looking for you&rdquo;.&nbsp; Technically, there&rsquo;s &ldquo;on site SEO&rdquo; and &ldquo;off site SEO&rdquo; and we&rsquo;re qualified to handle both.&nbsp; Without going too deep and putting anyone, interested in attracting more visitors to their business, in a deep sleep &hellip; the &ldquo;on site SEO&rdquo; is the stuff that is done within your website so it&rsquo;s seen and the &ldquo;off site stuff&rdquo; is what we&rsquo;ll do to get your site noticed via methods we&rsquo;ll delve into another time.&nbsp; Bottom line?&nbsp; We help local businesses &quot;get found on the internet&quot; &#8230; click on the link if you <a href="http://www.stretchmarketing.net/contact-us/" target="_blank">wanna talk</a> &hellip;..</p>
