Why
not get a web site, so that people can find you?
Having a
web site is much more affordable and economical than
advertising in the yellow pages. The average cost of a four page web
site includes two graphics or photos on each page, text about your
business, and an e-mail address.
You
can have color, interactivity, images, and sound. Your business is
open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and can reach an estimated 300
million people today.
