On behalf of all of our advertising partners, we’d like to welcome you to Upstate Business Alliance, an Interactive Web Cooperative.

So, what exactly is an “Interactive Web Cooperative”? Let me see if we can answer that for you.

Most small business operators realize the importance of having a web presence. These days, that’s a given.
The problem is that most small business operators do not maximize the potential of their site. That’s where we come in.

No longer is it necessary to depend on a “static” one or two page site that is not interactive. Let’s compare
a typical static website to one that is a part of our Interactive Web Cooperative.

A static site is great for providing general information, i.e. name, address, phone, email, products and services offered, etc. Business owners are initially excited about a new static site, especially if it includes interesting graphics, photos, and colors. But then the luster wears off, and it’s easy to forget your site’s even there except for the link that’s printed on your business cards and marketing materials. Our Interactive Web Cooperative is leaps and bounds ahead of the scenario above. Let me explain…

When you join us, we will design an interactive site for you that’s part of our Cooperative. Once the site is in place, we will provide a clean creative URL to you that will be re-directed to YOUR site that’s part of our OVERALL site. You also have the option of re-directing your already existing URL if you so choose.

You decide the message, the graphics, photos, colors, etc. We will ensure that what your customer sees on page one “pops” with a powerful message about your company, or organization. And since none of our sites are static, you can change anything about your site at any time!

In the right hand column of our site, you’ll notice featured ads. We plan to cap out our cooperative at 500 sites, but just imagine thousands of customers from 500 different businesses clicking on any of our partner pages and seeing your featured ad popping up on every single one of them!

How do you currently keep up with your customer base? For each of our advertising partners, we provide a
“Capture Placement” on your site that encourages your customers to opt in for more information on upcoming sales, specials, events, etc. For each person, we will capture their name, email address and phone number. So, what do you do with that information? It’s up to you.  The majority of our advertising partners choose to have us perform a “Message Blaster” on a monthly, twice monthly, or weekly basis.

So, what’s a Message Blaster? You tell us what you want to advertise and we assemble a professional marketing promotion on your behalf and blast it out to your list of followers. It might be a 20% off coupon. It might be a Buy-One-Get-One promotion. It could be an announcement about a change in location. Maybe, an invitation to a special event. And, if you have a list, or spreadsheet of your existing customers, we’ll show you how to download ALL of your customers into your data base so that EVERY CUSTOMER gets your messages and You get maximum results.

And what about those customers that provide their phone number? Do you realize that mobile marketing is in its infancy? There will be a dramatic shift from computer interaction to mobile interaction over the next ten years. We are way ahead of the curve and have a system for capturing customer phone numbers allowing for instant texting and messaging capability. With the click of a button, we can blast a mass text message for you to your entire phone number data base.

If you choose, we’ll also create a custom video for you detailing your business, your products and services. We’ll attach that video to your web page, but we’ll also include a link to it in each of your Message Blasts if you’d like. By the way, once that video is complete, it’s your property. You can use it any way that you feel will be beneficial in helping to grow your business.

Now here’s where it gets interesting. I’m sure you’ve heard discussions about companies wishing they could rank high on Google searches. There is an art to this, and we can help you get ranked on the first page of Google under keywords that are related to your business. How do we do that? We’ll write articles about your company. Lot’s of them! We’ll submit them to hundreds of article submission sites and syndicate these same articles to over thirty of the top social networking sites on the internet! We’ll also create backlinks back to your site from other blogs and websites that are hungry for content and are happy to publish these articles about your company.  In short, we will work together to get your site ranked #1 on Google under keywords related to your business!

Now here’s the real kicker. If we were to do all of these things for you as a stand alone company with a stand alone website, you might see your current website start to climb up in the rankings, and that would be a good thing. But when we perform these same steps for ALL of our advertising partners as part of our Interactive Web Cooperative, all of that traffic leads right back to YOU!!

Note: By following these steps, Upstate Business Alliance has moved from a ranking of about 12 million in the U.S. to around 50,000 -75,000 in the U.S. in a very short time.  And every day our site continues to climb up the charts. This means, that no matter how small your business, you are climbing up the charts right along with us.  (Alexa.com is the best resource for seeing where your website ranks.  If you’d like to check out our current ranking, the URL for this site is workwithgregtucker.com)

As individuals, we could each make great strides in driving traffic to our individual sites. As a cooperative however, we have the opportunity to grow that traffic exponentially. We know that this is a lot to take in and some of it may be foreign to you, but we’ll just leave it like this…

We’d love for you to come and join us.  If for any reason you are not happy with the results, we’ll discontinue your service, no questions asked. Thank you so much for visiting our site. Feel free to call us anytime @ 864-706-3506
