Purple Pages 4 Pets Directory - we want to help you!

Pet lovers,

Don't miss out! This is the best advertising you will ever do!

Purple Pages 4 Pets is a FREE directory of pet services in Marion and Polk Counties and surrounding areas. We want this directory to be all inclusive and that can only be done if all pet related businesses join us. These directories are very popular in other states and here are some of the reasons why:

• First - Advertising is expensive, yet NECESSARY! These days businesses cannot rely on word of mouth, drive-by traffic or even the Internet to get and increase their customer base.

• Most advertising such as radio, TV, newspaper is, not only expensive, short lived, but also a hit or miss with your target market. You never know who will be listening or reading on the day you spend your hundreds of dollars. Even the regular yellow pages goes out to everyone and sometimes the catagories are difficult to determine.

• Purple Pages goes out FREE to more than 10,000 PET OWNERS. It will be handed out by the Humane Society to those who adopt and become PET OWNERS, Realtors who sell a home to a PET OWNER, apartment complexes to give to their PET OWNERS, senior centers to their PET OWNERS. This is a perfectly targeted market. It will also be in free stands around the area and mailed out to anyone who requests one.

• The cost for a six month ad depending on size is $150 or $250. This is a one time fee that ends up being less than $25 or $50 per month. Where in the world can you advertise to 10,000 PET OWNERS for that low cost?

• Pet owners spend more than $50 BILLION dollars a year on their pets. You need to reach this market. We don't want you to be the only one of your business type NOT in the directory. Your competition would love that!

Contact us at purplepages4pets@gmail.com and we will send a representative to talk to you. If you are a pet lover and know of some pet related business that should be in the directory, give us their name and address and we will visit them.

The directory will be divided by areas such as South, North, West, Keizer, etc. so you can put your ad exactly where you want it to be.

Oh - and by the way - when you have a sale or special event, we will put it on the blog for no charge. We are currently in the process of completing our website and advertisers in the directory will also be listed there.

Hurry - time is getting short for the October issue!
