Things are starting to get really exciting at FindSoKy.com!
During the month of May, Adam and I met with the Bowling Green Small Business Development Center to get ideas on how to market the site more effectively. They named us the “Client of the Month” for May, which led to a press release that went to the local media. My hometown Allen County newspaper, The Citizen Times, interviewed us and published a fantastic article that tells the entire story behind FindSoKy.com.
I have been given permission by the newspaper to republish the article here. Click here to read it.
Also, the site has been expanded and is now accepting new business listings for Allen County! If you have a business in Allen County, feel free to submit it to our listings. We will be adding the remaining counties that surround Warren County in the coming weeks.
With more than 70% of households now using the internet to search for local products and services, business owners are migrating away from more traditional phone book directory advertising. Instead, they are focusing more attention on internet based directories, such as our very own FindSoKy.com.
The Entrepreneur magazine recently featured an article explaining the benefits of listing your business online:
Free tools offered by [FindSoKy.com] offer powerful local business listings. They evolve and improve regularly, so keep reviewing their new offerings. Some require a verification process for the business owner, but completion of that process lets you write additional information and correct mistakes. It’s important to check your listings for accuracy on a regular basis.
Is your laundry piled high? Do you pick up a shirt in the morning and smell it to see if it’s clean or dirty? Declaring “laundry bankruptcy” might be something to consider. The Unclutterer website describes the idea:
If you’re someone with a mountain of laundry who is having a problem getting your laundry situation under control, I think that the laundromat bankruptcy plan is a good plan to follow. Go once to the laundromat, get all of your clothes washed, and then get started on your new laundry routine at home with a clean slate.
It’s a bit overwhelming to stare at a pile of laundry that can only shrink one load at a time. Taking everything to the laundromat allows you to load up multiple washers at once. Once you dry, fold, and stack everything neatly before going home, your laundry will be done much sooner than if you had tried to do it all at home.
