Reduce, REUSE and Recycle – Enter to win – Fall Contest!

Reusing Things - One of the best things you can do for the environment is to reuse things instead of throwing them away.

Do phone books stack up at your house? My old one hasn’t even been used much before I get another one left on my doorstep and then another and another and another. I think I got four phone books just this year, and that doesn’t count what we see at the office. I can’t think of a better item for a great RE-USE project. Sometimes it takes creativity and we at FINDitLOCALNows.com encourage you to get creative. Submit your most creative PHONE BOOK REUSE project to us here and enter to win a gift card to your local area restaurant.

REUSE – It makes economic and environmental sense to reuse products and you don’t contribute to the landfill problem; make what you already own something completely new and different from its original purpose.

All entries will be published on the website, so check back to see some of the other creative ideas.

Local Shoppers Look Online First

From eMarketer Inc. – March 15, 2010
90% search online for nearby businesses

The overwhelming majority of US Internet users research online to find local products and services, according to the “User View Wave VII” from BIA/Kelsey and ConStat.

The most common online tool used for local research was search. Nearly one-half of respondents used Internet yellow pages and 42% checked comparison-shopping sites before heading to local businesses.

In summer 2009, TMP Directional Marketing and comScore found that and 46% of local online searchers contacted a business by telephone after Web research, and 37% visited in person.

“The Internet has indeed become an integral part of consumers’ local commercial activity,” said Steve Marshall, director of research, BIA/Kelsey, in a statement. “The data suggest we’re at an inflection point where the balance of power in local shopping is shifting to online.”

Local advertising dollars will follow eyeballs; BIA/Kelsey expects the Web to get an increasing share of local ad spending over the next several years, reaching one-quarter of the total in 2014.

Over time, the researchers have noted an increase in the number of sources used for local shopping research, suggesting audience fragmentation that can be challenging for advertisers.

“These challenges may be outweighed by the targeting opportunities available with tools like coupon promotions and appointment scheduling, the latter being among the best lead sources possible, since you know where people are actually going,” said Peter Krasilovsky, vice president and program director, Marketplaces, BIA/Kelsey, in a statement.

According to the report, 58% of respondents said they had redeemed an online coupon when shopping locally in the past year, and 19% made a local appointment other than a restaurant reservation on the Web.

Local businesses are the heart and sole of a community.

We at NoYellowPages.com have structured our entire site to help local businesses market to area consumers and have made it so area consumers can find local businesses easily. You won’t find listings of national companies that don’t exist in the Grand Valley on NoYellowPages.com. If you search for office products in the Grand Valley expect to find brick n’ mortar stores located right here in the valley. Why is this important? Well simply, it supports local jobs and local business. It’s also an environmentally sound way to do business. We believe businesses can remain competitive if they can reduce cost of distribution by selling locally. We can all do our part by looking close to home first when making our next buying decision.

So in support of the Grand Junction Chamber’s Blue Band Wagon program, buy local, save jobs and be green at the same time.
