From Your Street To Main Street — Website Connects Consumers To Area Businesses

Oct. 6, 2008 - PRLog -- Designed to be a simple, cost-effective way for local businesses to market themselves online, the site provides the tools, hosting and support that enable any business in Fairfield County to set up its own microsite (one-page website).

“The internet is quickly becoming the first place most of us turn to for information. From a consumer’s point of view, finding accurate information about local businesses on the web can be challenging to say the least,” said Todd Jones of Fairfield, who created the website, “Our goal is to build a central location where businesses can provide consumers with accurate and up-to-date information.” In addition to providing basic information, every microsite contains its own message board that allows businesses to post additional information, such as daily specials or events that might be of interest to their customers.

“The real value for local businesses,” according to Jones, “is that they can update any section of their microsite instantly, at any time, through a simple web-based control panel. We also realize that, no matter how easy it may be, some businesses simply might not have the time to make updates, in which case we are more than happy to lend them a hand.“

Every microsite also has its own friendly URL (www.fairfieldcountycentral.com/business_name), so it can serve as a stand-alone website for businesses that either don’t have one or have one that is hard to update.

The site, open to all businesses located in Fairfield County, will be marketed online as well as through traditional channels.

In response to the current economic situation, a 25% lifetime discount is being offered to each microsite that is created by the end of December 2008.
