Based on personal experience, I can help you.
Echo Pages, our mountain community directory supports local/small businesses, is a family owned company with family businesses at the heart of what makes us different.
Just ask your neighbors, Echo Pages, hands down, is THE preferred book, unbeatable in cost and service. Literally a fraction of the cost of DEX - and we don't heap our books under mailboxes; we hand deliver to businesses and mail to residences, and ensure delivery, which is ensuring your investment.
The Mountain Community (Evergreen) book prints March 2012, which is approaching fast, publication @ 38,000.
What else makes us different?
We use soy based ink, recycled paper and recycle our books. Our web site linking to your site for FREE, won 7 out of 7 awards; [url=http://www.echopages.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;]http://www.echopages.com[/url] - crystal clean.
Unlike our beautiful artistic publications; a "one time read", our book is directional, customers looking for specific services, ready to buy; liken to your "resume" in businesses and residences 365 days a year, 24/7. And those publications' monthly cost is comparable to our yearly cost - truly.
* Echo Pages is THE MOST circulated medium, covering 100% of YOUR demographic market and the only medium where clients/customers actually come to you,- DIRECTIONAL usage. Check out the cost of mailers! Unless you have an immediate need for that service, we all know where they wind up.
* Over 90% of people using YP's end up as someone's customer - this is where your Ad tells your story .
* YP's is worth two to four times it's investment just in the way it supports all other forms of advertising. . . .including word of mouth and referrals - this is where your white page listing is essential. And with word of mouth, you have no control over what is being said. Your Ad gives you complete control to tell your story.
* Echo Pages offers you print; including internet/Web Site links and Smart Phone APPs - FREE; putting your Ad in all Smart Phones; with all the other features; a map/directions, phone #, and ability to "share" you with family & friends.
Also, as a result of our partnership with all chambers, we give a FREE mint green listing under all your headings, indicating if you are a Member of The Chamber of Commerce.
Yes it's true, social media has and continues to explode. Print, which has been proven effective for over 100 years, works together with your web site. And, statistics show baby boomers prefer the community books, the one's who primarily need your services. Social media requires your work for continual maintenance - time consuming and expensive. With Echo Pages, you approve your Ad once, designed by professional artists, and your done for the year. Your Ad then works for you, taking no holidays nor vacations:) Also, less threat of spammers/hackers .
To quote a contractor, "with Echo Pages, you can find your service you need locally, look your worker in the eye and handshake on the deal; with strictly website contractors, you can't do that, you have no idea who your hiring and what you'll wind up paying for". I agree, good, old fashioned community supporting community.
Please allow me to give you options with information and prices before you make your decision - I promise you, you'll be amazed at the price. And you'll be pleased with your return on investment - my goal.
Please call Susan @ 303.670.9699 for a program detailed to your needs and budget, and allow me to bring you more customers! I am gratified to live and work in our community, participating in the opportunity to help us thrive.
Thank you.
