Press Release
Body = March 18, Niagara Falls. FoundLocally.com Media Inc has just
launched a new community information portal for Niagara Falls. The
6-year-old company now has 19 sites for major cities and communities
across Canada from Victoria, BC to St John’s Newfoundland.
FoundLocally sites attract 6 million visitors a year
The Niagara
Falls site is unique among community sites since it covers both
sides of the Canada-USA border, recognizing that resident and visitors
freely cross the border for shopping, recreation, entertainment
and (of course) tourism. The Niagara.FoundLocally.com web site (no
“www” needed) also provides details about communities
around the Niagara Peninsula, and around New York’s Niagara
Frontier.
FoundLocally’s
portal sites provide complete information about each community including
travel, entertainment, shopping, neighbourhoods, sports, education
and government. It is an excellent trip-planning resource for both
business and leisure travelers. Site visitors not only browse about
a thousand pages of background information, pictures and maps about
each community, and popular resources like
weekly ski reports and movie showtimes and listings of golf courses
and wineries.
The sites also
include a useful business directory where visitors can search for
(filter) businesses by name, category, street, community, or part
of town. The free business listings are entered by businesses themselves
and they provide
descriptions, marketing information, and business categories. It
is a popular marketing tool for small businesses often run from
a home phone or cell phone, and therefore excluded from the phone
directory. And once registered, businesses can post jobs and events
as part of their listings. This service is free and well suited
to those businesses without a web site.
The site earns
its revenues from traditional web “banner advertising”
and optional “Logos & Links” in the business directory,
which combines a web site hot-link, priority before the free listings,
and includes their logo on all their listing
pages, for a small annual fee. Significant discounts are given to
non-profit groups, and for those multiple establishments.
Communities
now covered include: Victoria, Greater Vancouver, Fraser Valley,
Okanagan-Shuswap, Banff & The Rockies, Calgary, Edmonton, Saskatoon,
Regina, Winnipeg, Thunder Bay, Sault Ste Marie, Sudbury, Niagara
Falls, Ottawa-Hull, Fredericton, Charlottetown, Halifax, and St
John’s.
