2010 Recession Package

Includes a minimum of sixty ads published to the internet on at least 60 different sites. Total number
of ads can easily reach 80 with links posted on a minimum of
55,000 web pages!  An exact number
can not be given here as web sites dictate to us what kinds of ads we are allowed to post to their
sites. Some companies permit restaurant & lodging ads where others do not and vice versa.
We push for the highest  amount possible. Our goal is to flood the world wide web with your
business name and product/service. Ad's are renewed
before they expire for as long as you are using
our services. Keeping ad's renewed also keeps them near the top (or front) of the advertisers
websites.

We create three different ad's for posting (business owners/managers are expected to approve ads
before they can be published.)  By using three different ads, consumers reading them do not loose
interest as quickly.   

One full write up on a site that promotes your business type if available.  For hotels this may be
Travel Michigan, Pure Michigan or similar travel site.

One custom web page which will give us a URL that can be clicked on in the ads we post.  This is
extremely important!  Even if you have a website of your own this custom page will give full details
of your current sale, special or package. Web page includes color photos and any other text or image
necessary to sell your product/service.  We take great pride in creating some of the best websites on
the internet!  Also, we will
happily link to existing web sites if they are of good quality. To see  
sample web pages;
 sample 1  sample 2  sample 3 Web pages are submitted weekly to the top five
search engines.
 

The service of a business mentor (strategic advisor) for as long as you use our services! Mentors are
available via phone or email to assist you with any aspect of your business. They listen, make
suggestions, work to help you solve problems, aid you with research & keep you informed of new/
innovative marketing strategies that may benefit your business. Business mentors become your right
hand and since they are not your employees or business partners, they can see your business needs
from outside the box. You can't even put a price on assistance of this kind!  Once you're assigned a
mentor that mentor stays with you until you end your services with us.  In the rare event the mentor
leaves our employ a new mentor will be appointed to you.  There is
nothing you can invest in that
will give you a better return then one
good business mentor.

Also included; we take up to twelve photos of your establishment or product or both. All photos are
edited for internet advertising and use on your free web page.  (Photographs can be printed out on
high quality photo paper for an additional fee.)

Complete product/service evaluation and walk through with written report. Is your product over
priced? Can we find a manufacturer that will recreate your product for less then you are currently
paying? Would an online merchant account help you to dramatically increase sales? Are your sales
suffering due to a flaw that you are not aware of? Are credit card processing fees eating into your
profits? Are you over-paying for services such as an online booking engine? Computer maintenance?  
The areas we look into for 'money leaks' is endless and we can often stop those leaks quickly!  Your
personal mentor attends this evaluation and you will meet him or her at this time.

Simple employee evaluation (extensive evaluations are available.)
Do you have an employee who is secretly sabotaging your business? Surprisingly most employers
answer this question with a "no" but the reality is for every 100 businesses, 52% have a 'trusted'
employee who is secretly grinding their employer's profits to a halt. We know how to find out and
we do it without anyone ever knowing...

Business name search; Internet searches for reviews on your business; we preform over fourteen
searches using different search engines and variables of your business name. Most businesses tell us
we wont find anything negative about them and most of them are wrong. When we do find negative
reviews we investigate them to find their origin, many are posted by former disgruntled employees,
ex spouses, etc. In these cases we work with the review sites in an effort to remove these negative
comments about your business. These types of reviews can damage your business.  

Package price $499.00 for your first month (Normally $799.00) price will increase as the economy
