You got it, we are rather ambitious in our goal, but local people on the street is the best way. The trick is to keep them trained on the value of the offer. Once that is done success is not far behind.

And yep having the government behind you is great, we have the prosecuting attorney in one county actually sending emails out to her friends list promoting us. Its been quite interesting to see what some local marketing and a bit of effort to make sure they like what they see can do. We have several more things in the works that will make the site even better and likely have the governments liking it even more.

Thanks much, and another note, I checked out Oakville.com when the story came out, appreciated what you were up too:)

Face to face sales is the only way you’ll earn the true revenue potential of geo domains. There is no easy way to get fast sales. A lot of people do not understand that and I am happy to be reading about it here on your blog.

We shared our vision and branding with several local community leaders and leading businesses owners. We made it clear that we were local and were helping promote local business. By stressing the local aspect, we have trust in the community and it leads to much higher sales conversion.

I had a member of the local government tell me one day that he recommended our site when people asked about local information.

How great is that !?
