Puppy & Bean Selected for Google's " Michigan Get Your Business Online" Campaign

Oct. 20, 2011 - PRLog -- Puppy & Bean, an online children's t-shirt company, founded by a Michigan mom, was chosen as one of the Michigan businesses to be featured in Google's new "Michigan Get Your Business Online" Campaign http://www.michigangetonline.com/successstoriesfocus/391482  Puppy & Bean has been an online business for a little over a year.  The messages on their  'simple t-shirts for complex creatures' have been very well received across the country.  

Their website http://www.puppyandbean.com is Puppy & Bean's primary method of communicating with customers.  Their online business is a perfect example of what Google is promoting with its "Get Your Business Online" Campaign.  This national campaign has been rolled out so far  in Vermont , Texas and now Michigan .  The campaign is highlighting  websites as a way for businesses to  reach their business goals, find new customers, boost sales and share their personal business story with other business owners.

Google states that 97% of consumers search online for local products and services. If you don’t have a website, you’re virtually invisible to consumers looking online for businesses like yours. A website helps customers find you—whether they're down the street, across the state, or around the world. Once they've found you, your website shows them what sets you apart from other businesses.

The value of a being online has certainly been clear to Puppy & Bean from its inception.  Within the first month their website was up, they were discovered and  invited to attend  a celebrity gifting event in Los Angeles that preceded the Golden Globes.  The first year for Puppy & Bean has been hectic with celebrity events and trade shows all of which have given them contacts they could never have without being online.

At these events, Puppy & Bean received phenomenal feedback on their products from celebrities and buyers. The second year proves to be equally exciting for Puppy & Bean starting with an pre-Oscar celebrity gifting event in February.
