1. Send an email.

1. The 12 ads, at the top of the 5 home pages, will be free until sometime in
the future. These ads are only open to agents who can demonstrate a history
of consistent use of advertising.
2. The Listing magazine will be free for sometime into the future.
3. All websites are geo-targeted to the Central Ontario and The Trent Severn Waterway Region to ensure ads reach an appropriate audience.
4. We will not charge until our concept has proven to be productive.
5. When we do charge, it will be fair market value, not the maximum that the
market will bear. We will work to ensure both sides are comfortable with the
number we decide on.
6. We are looking at a two-year growth period. Like any new business, it takes
time. Charging may occur earlier, but only if we are comfortable with the numbers
driven by targeted traffic.
The Internet matures more each day. Ad blockers are now ubiquitous as users have
become tired of ads. This will affect all markets, bar none. Layoffs in the
Internet Industry is testimony to the problem. Former giants are now in the
midst of layoffs by the tens of thousands. Don't take my word for it, look around.
The way to navigate this new world is my dilemma as well. Clicks on web ads have
dried up, and the effort is no longer worth the time. Hence the idea of regional
ads, with a strong emphasis on local. In Central Ontario we are in a good position.
Many new homes are being, and have been built in the last few years. Currently,
Lily Lake Road in the Peterborough area is developing thousands. This is being
repeated all around Central Ontario.
That's the reason I feel like this is such an area of potential that is being
overlooked and under-served by what has become a more globally-focused internet,
and why I believe that by coming together we can grow a powerful tool for your
business.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
