PAWS Offers Strip Mall Blogs For Shopping Centers
As a trial, the tenants of Old Town Square in Lakeland Florida plan to build a strip mall blog to help promote each other. This is a great idea for all business owners, whether on not they have their own website.
“The problem with most small business websites, they don’t have the content in them that a reader would link to” says Mike Annable, Co-Owner of PAWS Print & Web Solutions based out of Lakeland Florida. “Having quality links pointing to your website is hard to come by these days. This is a great way to promote your store and your website at the same time. If a strip mall of 10 stores all chipped in, they would have their own blog for $2.08 a month. This small price would include hosting for 2 years and a unique domain name. It’s a no brainer, really think about it.” Mike’s fiancee’ Tracey adds, “For less than the price of 1 cup of coffee, we could all benefit. If you do the math, it’s about $.07 a day, I find more than that doing the laundry!”
Search engine like Google, Yahoo and MSN love blogs with quality content. If every store posted “1″ blog entry every 10 days, you would end up with a powerful blog as it would be updated daily. The Search Engines Love Fresh Content, and this is the best way to get out there.
Many people are intimidated by anything technical, but blogging is very easy. Each shop owner would have their own username and password where they would log on and easily publish their own stories and photographs.
