Our speaker last week was
Jeff Miller, with Reach Local Corp. This private company is a large Net
advertising company that specialises in search engine advertising. Jeff
outlined for us the reasons advertising is important for all companies,
both small and large.
The traditional routes of
advertising, ie, radio, TV, and newspaper are being impacted by the
development of the net and the large search engines. This system now
has the capability to reach consumers in very defined ways. It also can
provide excellent feedback on consumer sales leads, and is the lowest
cost per lead.
Reach Local has developed a
platform that covers 98% of all market searches. They have 15,000
customers world wide that use the platform for Search engine
advertising. The company can integrate your web page, assist with
development of the key words, and develop a new web page if necessary.
With over 98M people using the web every day, this is a powerful tool
for advertising that provides rapid response to inquiries as well as
accurate reports on sales leads and the value obtained. Thanks to Jeff
for a great presentation.
Reminder!!!!! Evening board meeting on 06/04/09. No morning
meeting on 6/04/09. A
