New Online Directory, who to invite???

mamothblue

Hi All, I`ve put together a free online directory for the Custom Home Renovations Market. I have a list of Service Owners that I wish to contact but that`s not enough to get the site moving without spamming.Any inventive thoughts on how to promote this free service?Many thanks again to everyone in advance www.custom-home-designs.com

Hello,
Is it local or nationwide?

Hi there =)For now it`s local, but will be opened nationwide broken down by major cities. Each city will have it`s own site (Sub-Domain)

If it is local, then visit the business`s themselves or visit business groups or put an ad in the local chamber newsletter. that should help.

Hi Stan, thanks so much for your feedback and input.What do you think of an online rating system to rank contractors and service providers? Contractors and Services could invite their current and past clients to rate and comment.If I was looking for a great contractor, I`d first stop and check out those with great ratings and comments. Of course I`d need to dig further, but hopefully this can refine the search other than yellow pages and other forums. More tools for the Home Owner...I wonder if a community based site would encourage talk within the niche directory???Fritzwww.custom-home-designs.com
