New social media format goes public

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) October 27, 2008 -- www.midstatemix.com

Studies show that the public at large wants to communicate with product and service providers across social media forums, but they have also become increasingly particular about the type of communications and ad-space they will give attention to. What if there was a new mix of e-commerce that was geared towards local businesses connecting with local customers? Would this have an impact upon converting ads into consumer satisfaction? You bet it would! Here’s why…we all understand that local business success benefits the local economy. It provides local jobs, improved services and increases giving. There’s greater meaning behind the transaction process because there’s a greater benefit to everyone. There’s also the aspect of geographical convenience. If we don’t personally know the people behind the brand, we’re only a connection away. We know if they deserve our trust or not. We coach their kids. We watch over their property. We’ve fed their cat when they went on their last missions trip and we’ll be at their funeral. We know their heart and we want to see them succeed.
