Salons Of Canada

Why should I join?

GETTING YOUR WEBSITE PRESENCE
The internet has become such a global marketplace everything - and I mean everything is available there. It is a very crowded place but it nevertheless offers the best value for your advertising dollars - if done correctly. The crowd is there, you need to channel them to visit you that's where salonsofcanada.com comes in. The main thing that you must be aware of is that it is not the size or the beauty of your website that will bring you clients - it is mainly the positioning of your site and its contents. By that I mean "can clients find you?" and if they do "will they return?"

NUMBER ONE
Let's try this exercise - Let�s assume that a business woman is visiting from the

USA

and wishes to find spa and salon in your city. She will not likely know the name of your salon therefore she will go to Google (which is the place to start your search) and type in "salons in

canada."

The last time we performed this exercise on September 24, 2008 -www.salonsofcanada.com - was the number one site returned in this search results out of 11 million possible recognized sites. Notice the screen shot below, we are even above the Yellowpage.ca! That is the power of positioning that salons of Canada will give you - top of the heap.

I ALREADY HAVE A WEBSITE
Having a stand alone salon website is fine but can new clients find you? Having your own website is a good way to advertise your business, however you will have to spent a lot of funds trying to get it in front of customers. This can be a costly effort. Fortunately you can benefit from your membership with salons of

Canada

- our visitors will have the opportunity to visit your site because of our high placement on Google. Please contact us for more details on getting your site linked to www.salonsofcanada.com

CAN YOUR CLIENTS FIND YOU?
The most important thing for any business is for potential clients to find you and explore you what you have to offer. To do this you will have to undertake some form of advertising - there are many areas of adverting available but most are extremely expensive and last for a day, a week, a month or maybe a quarterly magazine - the most that your advertising dollar will stretch will be 3 months tops. A typical print ad the size of a credit card can run you anywhere from $60 to $600 depending on the medium you choose. We are not trying to discourage you from advertising your business but we want to encourage you to get the best bang for your dollar.

DIRECTORY LISTING VS SALONS OF CANADA MINI-SITE
Many membership sites offers you a directory listing of your business - featuring your name, phone number, address or maybe one photograph.With salonsofcanada you will get an actual mini-website complete with your own personal website address. You have total control over your site - you own this mini-site. You are therefore free to update as you please at no additional cost.
