Sarasota merchants and restaurants gain “new way” to quickly, inexpensively and effectively market their businesses locally using email and the Internet.
DJLK Enterprises announced the launch of Sarasota SuddenValues, (http://sarasota.suddenvalues.com), an Internet based marketing service for local merchants and restaurants. Using SuddenValues, local merchants and restaurants create special offers and coupons that are distributed to individuals in the community online at http://sarasota.suddenvalues.com and through a weekly opt-in email update. Coupons are redeemed at the participating merchant and/or restaurant location at the time of purchase.
The Service is free to individuals in the Sarasota community, with funding provided by participating merchants and restaurants. Individuals learn about the Sarasota SuddenValues website and weekly email updates through a proven grass roots marketing campaign in the community, including contests and give-a-ways at participating merchants, door-to-door marketing and email based referrals.
Merchants create, modify and deliver offers in real-time using any Internet connection. However, the Service goes beyond simple offers, providing features that include a Business Spotlight, Featured Merchant graphic and Deal of the Day to build awareness for the brands and offerings of participants.
Sarasota SuddenValues is a partnership between DJLK Enterprises and Wenatchee-based US Online.com, Inc. DJLK Enterprises is the exclusive distributor in Sarasota, providing sales and marketing support, with technology and operations support provided by US Online.
In announcing the launch of Sarasota.SuddenValues.com, DJLK said, “We are really excited about this venture. SuddenValues is targeted expressly to the Sarasota community. It is one of those unique services that make the Internet relevant as an inexpensive alternative marketing vehicle for local business, and it perfectly addresses the current economic environment.”
