Attn: Local Business Owners ...

The St. Louis Local Internet Marketing Blueprint / Workshop / Seminar (Heck, This Thing Is So Unique We Don't Know What To Call It!)

Rare Opportunity!! Top Experts Give You a Live “Over-the-Shoulder” Sneak Peek Look As They Build 6 Different Online Marketing Campaigns for Real World Businesses In St. Louis

Dear St Louis Business Owner:

Yeah, we all know the economy's been in the toilet, but the truth is that's not the only reason local service providers and brick & mortar businesses are struggling. You see, the world has changed ... A LOT.

Your prospects don’t go to the Yellow Pages any more, and they're not reading newspapers, watching TV or listening to the radio to find a local service provider.

• They’re firing up their laptops.
• They’re compulsively checking their email and smartphones.
• And they’re turning to Google to find the products and services you offer.

The local business owners who have discovered how to tap into the flood of customers who are using the Internet are thriving while their competitors are struggling mightily.

Sounds Good ... But Does This Stuff Really Work?

Take Doug Belleville for example. He runs a family business, STL Beds, with his dad. A few years ago the business was on the ropes and close to shutting its doors after 20 years in business.

Doug saw the potential of the Internet, and since nothing else was working, he hired a search engine optimization consultant to help him get his STL Beds website ranked at the top of page 1 of Google. The SEO expert delivered, and since that time STL Beds has had 3 consecutive record years.

Things have gone so well that STL Beds now has an e-commerce site giving them access to a national audience of prospects which is generating even more profits for their business.

Then there’s Joe Pose, owner of PoseTek Appliance Services. PoseTek was in danger of bankruptcy – about of month away from filing.

At the urging of another local business owner, Joe contacted a local search marketing expert to help him optimize his placement on Google Maps. This campaign was such a success that 60 days later Joe not only avoided bankruptcy, but he opened a second location!

When the local search marketing expert who helped Joe called one day to speak to him, Joe’s wife answered the phone. When she discovered who was calling, she broke down in tears of joy thanking him for how he helped turn their fortunes around.

These are just two of countless examples of local business owners who have experienced dramatic turnarounds after discovering the power of on-line marketing.

So What's Their Secret?
Come see the experts responsible for Doug and Joe's stunnning turnarounds in action (along with 6 other local Internet marketing experts with similar stories) on February 16.

The MSMC experts are not only going to show you exactly how they generate new business for their customers, but they're going to show you how to apply those same strategies to your business.

Best of all, each of the experts are going to create their Internet marketing campaign while using the business listings and websites of six lucky business owners in attendance. (More on that later.)

You will have an opportunity to learn while literally looking over their shoulder of the expert while he or she builds each marketing campaign live on the Internet. Not only that, buy they will share their secrets and provide you with an opportunity to ask quesitons all along the way. There is simply no better way to learn how to attract customers on the Internet and you don't have to be a techie to understand the process.
