Businesses in Auglaize and Mercer Counties in Ohio have an opportunity to increase sales with the surge in local internet users as tourists stay connected via WiFi.
May 29, 2007 (Press Release) --
Wireless access to the internet is everywhere. You'll find WiFi in coffee shops, fast food eateries and truck stops. Cellular wireless access to the web from the convenience of laptops, PDAs and mobile smartphones enables users to connect anywhere there is a cellular signal. Travelers and local residents exercise their opportunity to find what they need online. RVers keep in touch with family and friends via email, investors watch the stock indexes, and teenagers chat on myspace.com with frequency, even when away from home. We are a mobile society who refuses to be disconnected.
Results of a Consumer Electronics Association Survey in October 2006 show that 78% of purchases are made by consumers after searching online for information about the product, the manufacturer, the retailer, or the service provider. “Let your fingers do the walking” was the old slogan for the yellow pages. Now fingers are doing a different type of walking. Thumbing through the phonebook has been replaced by typing in a search string.
There has never been a better time to develop a web presence. Consumers today log on just to find hours of operation for the corner drugstore. Leaving home for unexplored territory without printed "GoogleMaps" or “MapQuest” directions is unthinkable for most.
A new community resource to help Grand Lake St. Marys Region residents and area visitors connect with local businesses has been under construction and is now launching, with an eye toward obtaining charter business members for their advertising program.
