No matter how big your company is, you need to have a logo to represent your business. Fortunately, many options are available to you should you desire to have a custom business logo created just for you. You should be aware what to look for when picking a design company to come up with a custom logo for your company.

Following can be found five considerations to think about when picking a firm to design a logo:

1. Cost – You can pay just about any amount of money from under a hundred dollars to thousands of dollars to get a custom designed logo. Figure out what your budget is and determine which companies are in your price range.

2. Satisfaction guaranteed – A reputable logo design company will offer some sort of money back guarantee, even with affordable logo design. Typically this can be anywhere from being able to receive a complete refund if you are not completely happy, to receiving a refund, less a service fee.

3. Number of designers – The more artists that create initial logo concepts, the more unique concepts you get to decide on. It is important to have a variety of choices, making sure you are more likely to be pleased with how it portrays your business.

4. Number of revisions – After you have chosen a design that you desire to further develop, you should have the opportunity to have the designers make the corrections you request. Typically you may not want a whole lot of corrections, but you need to have the option to request as many revisions as you need to be completely satisfied.

5. Logo files – After your logo is completed, you should receive it in many different file formats. No matter how you will end up using your new logo, you will have the right file type for different applications. You need to have available the right file type available when you need them.

Discovering the best designer to create your logo is an important step to ending up with a custom logo that not only properly represents your business, but also is something that you are very pleased with. Research which is the best designer to go with and you should have a custom logo that you can use for a long time.

Local Ad Link is a new company that allows the small business owner to capitalize on marketing online….big deal right?!

But this technology senses a web visitors IP address and knows that they are reading content that matches the business owners online ad….so because the web surfer is in the business owner’s list of zip codes they target….and because they are searching a topic that matches the biz owner’s ad….the technology pushes the ad out to the reader! 

[You can do this right now….with Google "pay per click" , but typically this is highly expensive and confusing] 

This service solves it and allows the business owner to dominate their local city

Would you have a moment to review this ?  

·        It uses Geo-Targeting Technology and Zip-Code Based online advertising to help business owners attract new customers from their own backyard.

 There’s no set up fee, no contracts and a very low monthly fee: 

•  $49.95/mo. to target 3 zip codes
• $99.95/mo. to target 10 zip codes
• $199.95/mo. to target 50 zip codes

(these are good through May 2009, in June they go up by $20-$50/mo. Set your ad up in May and you lock in this pricing for life!)

Traditional print advertising is becoming less effective each year. 

Already 54% of people have traded in their old Yellow Pages and solely search online and this number is growing daily. The revolutionary part of LocalAdLink is that we take your business listing and push it out onto the web. 

What does that mean for you? 

Well, you’re not just sitting back and waiting for people to visit your site. 

Your listing can be seen on some of the most popular websites, search engines, and social networks in America.

• Are you still using the yellow pages, direct mail, door hangers or flyers? 
• Are these methods working?
• What is the best way to re-connect with your local customers? 
• Would you like to connect with local people truly interested in your products and services?

 On-line geo-targeting by zip code allows you to concentrate your ad dollars on your interested local customers. 

1. We do this by proactively pushing your on-line ad out onto the Internet though our partner websites. 
2. These partner websites are relative websites with your business based on business type. 
3. This way you know your ad dollars are being seen by people truly interested in you.

 Geo-targeting by zip code and the bargaining power of LocalAdLink allows the little guy to compete with the big boys.
