Get your business off to a solid start in 2011!By Marketing Merchant Circle
When was the last time you updated your listing page, added a new coupon, or posted a blog? Keeping your business information accurate and your content fresh will help build a powerful (and reputable) online presence.
Start this year off right by following these 3 easy steps for improving your page!
• Clean it up! Does your listing page have accurate information? If your contact information has changed, or if you've added new products or services- let people know. Posting correct information on MerchantCircle ensures more local customers can find you in an online search. If you change your phone number, make sure to also update your URL.
• Keep it fresh. Do you have expired coupons littering your page? Ring in the New Year with new customers by creating coupons that will save them big. And while you're giving your page a face lift, how about showing us yours? Adding photos to your listing page shows customers who you are, what you offer and what your store or shop looks like.
• Stay connected. Are you opted in to receive all the MC news and email updates? Have you connected your Twitter and Facebook accounts? Click here to manage and update your account information and preferences so you don't miss a thing.

Thank you for the reminder about our local market. Although the majority of our business may be conducted online, we often forget the number of potential clients that may need our help. This vast client pool should be included in your marketing plan.
