COOPERATIVE POWER

Woglo Business Cooperative ...

When you buy from local businesses you help keep money in your local economy. This creates jobs locally. Woglo helps support local businesses...

A website is necessary for doing business today. However, a website does little good if no one finds it. It is very difficult to get good search engine placement, and often it is too expensive for small businesses to pay for SEO (search engine optimization) or keyword pay-by-click fees.

How does Woglo benefit consumers?

A local business is likely to offer better prices and service than a distant business you locate online through a search engine (read why), but it is not easy to find local businesses with search engines. This is where Woglo fills the gap...

How does Woglo benefit businesses?

Woglo business cooperative network offers local businesses an affordable way to introduce themselves to their community via the internet. Membership in the Woglo business cooperative offers businesses:

• A personal community introduction web page
• Targeted localized advertising
• Business support network to improve success
• Business to business connections & forums
• Volume discounts & group purchase power

The cost of Internet marketing is quickly out pacing the ability of small businesses to pay for it. The internet has become dominated by large companies, primarily search engines, that now require businesses to pay for choice postions on keyword search returns. Pay-by-click fees can be astronomical for popular keywords.

When I first started my own business I went through $2000 in less than two weeks using Overture to bid on a keyword that gave me 2nd position in the return list. And I'm always hearing small business owners complain about how expensive it's become to use internet services, like eBay, that once helped them to grow their businesses, but that are now becoming too costly to use.

This system doesn't benefit small businesses or consumers. Companies that can afford such high marketing costs probably aren't offering the most competative prices to consumers. Nor can consumers locate small businesses in a their local area through keyword searches alone.

Woglo offers consumers and small businesses a better solution.
