Economic Resurgence in Tipton, Indiana

June 7, 2011 - PRLog -- American Marketing & Publishing LLC reported today that the Tipton, Indiana economy shows signs of recovery as evidenced by substantial growth in local advertising by businesses serving Tipton.  The 2011 edition of the Tipton HomePages® Directory features the advertisements of XXX local businesses, a significant increase from last year.

The US Postal Service is distributing 5,500 copies of the 2011 Tipton HomePages® Directory to every Tipton family, business, and post office box holder.  The Tipton HomePages® are a printed community directory including residential and business white pages, a community information section, and a categorized local business Yellow Pages.  Local information is also published online at http://CloseBy.com, an Internet Yellow Pages that submits business information to Google.  The 7.2% growth in local business advertising shows evidence of renewed enthusiasm toward the local economy.

“It’s very encouraging to see this level of economic optimism in Tipton.  Family owned businesses are the backbone of the country, and they do not spend money on advertising unless they are leaning forward.” said Abe Andrzejewski, CEO of American Marketing & Publishing, LLC.  

Mike Dollens, member of the Tipton City Council, was very enthusiastic about recent developments regarding Tipton’s economic development: “The commissioners just proposed a new county economic development organization, which will be a really positive step in the right direction. It will restructure the way development has been approached in Tipton, and I’m really excited about it.”

Neal Polachek, President of BIA/Kelsey, a local media consulting and advisory service says, “Local and community Yellow Pages such as HomePages Directories have long been barometers of the local economy.  Many small businesses are often among the more sophisticated advertisers and as such, they generally have their thumb on the pulse of the economy and they tend to know what advertising works.  It is very encouraging to see this type of growth in Tipton in an otherwise subdued advertising market.”
