Webmaster
I want to help you promote your business and get more customers in 2006.
Posted by johndilbeck on Sunday, January 1 2006 at 2:38 AM
If you own a business, you already know that all businesses need new customers.
Two months ago, a new online service was introduced with the purpose of making it easy for merchants and business owners to offer special discount offers to attract new customers (or reward existing customers).
Not only is it easy to do, but it costs absolutely nothing to register your business and create your special offers.
You, as a business owner or manager, can decide what kind of offer you want to make. You can offer a percentage discount on the next purchase. Offer a special price or a freebie. Buy one, get one free. Buy one, get another at half price. Buy lunch and get a free beverage. $500 off at closing when you buy a new home. Whatever kind of offer that works for both you and your customers or clients.
You know all about these kinds of offers.
So do your customers and potential customers.
And your competition.
What's the catch?
There isn't one.
You can advertise for free and set all the conditions of the offer. All we ask is that you pay a bounty for each coupon that is redeemed by a paying customer. And, to top it off, you decide how much you're willing to pay for that customer to redeem the coupon. It's entirely up to you. You advertise free and pay only for results.
How much are you willing to pay to acquire a new customer?
How much are you willing to pay to get new business from your existing customers?
What is the lifetime value of a new customer for your business? How much are you paying to acquire a customer now?
Are you willing to try something new where you control the offer and the amount you're willing to pay, and to pay only when someone actually purchases from you?
You don't have to pay for advertising and hope it works.
You don't have to pay when someone clicks your advertising link.
You pay only when someone actually redeems your coupon and makes a purchase from you. Guaranteed results.
When you create an offer, won't you think about making your expiration date at least a year from now? That way, more people will get a chance to try your offer, you'll have less administrative efforts in renewing the offer, our affiliates (thousands of them) will have an easier time promoting your offer, and we'll all save time and effort in promoting your business.
Of course, if an expiration date a year from now doesn't suit you or your offer, you're free to set the offer and the expiration date to exactly what you want. That's one of the beauties of this new service.
We're working hard to promote you.
I'm asking you to give us a try.
If it doesn't result in new business for you, it won't cost you a penny - just a few minutes of your time.
I'm also asking you to make an offer that is exclusive to our service.
How many people promote your coupon when you advertise in your newspaper?
We are ready to actively promote your offer. Since you're saving money by not paying for advertising that doesn't work, we'd like to ask you to make a offer that is better than your usual offer. You'll benefit and so will your new customers.
I want to promote your business.
If you go to http://ShowYourCoupon.com you can see our service in action.
To register your business and start creating your special offers, go to http://merchant-info.showyourcoupon.com and sign up for free.
I'll syndicate your coupon at http://SyndicateYourAd.com and to other websites, weblogs, and other venues -- all at no extra cost to you.
Try us, please.
You have nothing to lose, and the potential of attracting new paying customers at a cost you set.
Remember, no customers, no cost.
Register your business for free and make your offer to new prospective customers.
I want your business and I'm willing to work to help you promote your business and make more sales.
Your coupon will be actively promoted at SyndicateYourAd.com and many other sites that are fed from that weblog.
Sign up today.
(This service does not accept offers for business opportunities. We are happy, however, to help you promote your products and services.)
Thank you, and I look forward to promoting your business.
I hope you have a wonderful 2006.

"Because of the exciting growth we're experiencing, we are in need of people to fill technical and non-technical positions throughout the plant. Many of our employees are participating in the machinist training program through Tri-County Community College and will be moving up into new positions soon. We have those positions as well as new openings to fill."

The job fair is a partnership between Tri-County Community College and the Employment Security Commission JobLink Center.
