Nice Offers
Nice Offers provides a new way to advertise your business at no cost. That's right. Advertise for free, create your special offer coupons, and pay only what you decide it's worth when someone redeems your coupon.
While the service is new and the number of offers is small, it's growing quickly. Thousands of merchants from over 100 countries are registering their businesses and creating new offers.
I'd like to invite you to register your business right now. It takes only a few minutes and costs you nothing. There is no obligation to create any special offers and you can take your time until you understand this system. When you're ready, should you decide to do so, you can create as many special offers as you want.
You decide the terms of the offer, any restrictions, the expiration date, and what you're willing to pay for a bounty for us to market your offer for you. Imagine being able to create and distribute special offer coupons with no up-front advertising fees, no printing costs, no distribution costs, and only having to pay the bounty you set when your coupon does its job and is redeemed for your special offer. Advertise free and pay only for results.

Shoppers Save Money with Nice Offers Coupons
Shoppers can go to NiceOffers.com and search for the coupon of their choice.
Google Adwords
One of the easiest ways to advertise on this site is to create an account and advertise on Google Adwords. Additionally, your ads will show on many other websites targeting our area. Google Adwords offers flexible advertising and you can select very narrow or very wide sets of keywords to target. You pay Google only when your ad is clicked, not when it is shown.
If you've never advertised on Adwords, you need to learn what you're doing before you go through a lot of money with nothing to show for it. As with all advertising, you want to target both the venue (newspaper, magazine, flyer, website, weblog, etc.) and prospective customer so that you will get a good return on your advertising investment. Advertising to the wrong person in the right publication, or to the right person in the wrong publication can cost you more money than you'll earn in return. You want to place the right ad in front of the right person in the right publication at the right time to maximize your return from your advertising dollar.
One of the benefits of Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising is that you can place your ad in front of someone when they have entered a page on a website that matches what you offer, or when they have searched for something that matches your selected keywords. This matches up the right person and the right time and removes some of the uncertainty of advertising. Additionally, you don't have to pay to put the ad in front of this person. That part's free. You only pay when she clicks your ad -- and then it's up to you to convert her to a customer on your website or sales page.
Unlike long lead times in magazines -- with large upfront costs -- PPC advertising can place your business, product, or service in front of thousands of people in a very short timeframe. So, it is popular, productive, and potentially lucrative -- depending upon how you sell on your destination site.
PPC advertising is not fool-proof nor guaranteed. As with any advertising, there is a certain level of uncertainty and trial-and-error necessary to convert prospects -- even well-targeted prospects -- into customers or clients.
Perry Marshall offers a free five day introduction to advertising with Adwords. At the end of the five days, he'll offer you an ebook that teaches you how to effectively advertise on Adwords. Many business owners have spent much more than the cost of the ebook while trying to learn on their own.
On the other hand, if you would prefer to pay a set amount for a set period, perhaps one of the following advertising methods would suit you better...
Site Sponsorship
Your site sponsorship ad can replace the rotating banner on the top-right corner of this site. It will be seen on every page of the site and will have an active link to your website. The cost to sponsor the entire site is only $2,000 per year, renewable by November 30 for the following year.
If you decide to be the site sponsor, you will lock in this price and have the right of first refusal for the following year. As long as you renew your sponsorship prior to November 30, you will remain the sponsor indefinitely.
If the site sponsor fails to renew by November 30, a new sponsor will be selected based on the highest bid, with a minimum of $2,000.
Site Sponsorship includes a Gold Membership on the Murphy NC Business Guide at no additional charge. Your business will be listed on many other pages of this site and other sites in my growing network of websites. These listings will have an active link to your website, as shown below:
Contact John Dilbeck at 828-837-2901 or at jd@johndilbeck.com with a subject of "CCNC - Site Sponsorship". Payment may be made by sending a check to Dilbeck Marketing, 5976 Joe Brown Hwy, Murphy, NC 28906.
Basic Listing
Your business will be shown on the appropriate page at no cost. If your business is not listed or the appropriate category is not available, contact me and I will add or update your listing at no cost. A basic listing is limited to your company name, address, and phone number. It does not include an active link to your website.
Nonprofits will be listed at no charge. I am happy to link to your nonprofit website, if you have one.
You can enhance your basic listing in the following ways...
Gold Membership
Gold Member listings start with a priority listing on the Murphy NC Business Guide. There is more information there for what a Gold Membership includes. Additionally, your business will be listed on many other pages of this site and other sites in the growing network of Dilbeck Marketing websites. These listings will have an active link to your website.
You can get a Gold Membership on this website and several others for a full year for less than other sites charge for a single graphic ad for one month on one page.
