2.   How the  MagNet1 System applies to the Internet.

     2.1  The Internet.. Your partner or your competitor.

The Internet is the communications medium of the future. It offers virtually limitless capacity for quantity and distribution of information, at a fraction of the cost of traditional media. It evens the playing field for companies, large or small , because of its affordability. As an advertising medium, it is only limited by customer awareness. That is why it must exist within the Internet equivalent of a brick and mortar context. If your customers, in your marketplace are not aware of your web-site, its value is zero. The purpose of every element of the MagNet1 System is the promotion of the local business community- in its marketplace! If your business is not on the Internet, the Internet  becomes your competitor. MagNet1 forms a partnership with your business, to support your Internet presence, in your marketplace.

    2.2   Comparison to Traditional Advertising.

Internet advertising complements existing advertising programs.  It expands geographical coverage beyond the limits of traditional media--newspapers, flyers, telephone yellow pages, etc., and avoids the large costs associated with the generation and distribution of print media, radio, and television. Your business is open 24 hours per day, 365 days per year! It can be kept current with virtually instant changes that many can do themselves, with or without computer skills.

Consider the additional impact of your advertising message, if you are not limited by space, graphics, colors, linking to other pertinent information, etc. Consider also that listings in our data base can be made for multiple lines of business that you may offer...at no additional expense.  Without the limitation of space/cost considerations, you can describe  your goods and services in detail, location, communications information,  multiple locations, directions, hours, etc., etc., MagNet1 provides all the support you need to create an appropriate web-site, and more importantly (and applicable to existing web-sites), we provide the context you need via todayinvirginia.com for your community, as well as via other MagNet1 web vehicles.
