Easter special - Free advertising on JustLocal for postcodes 3105, 3106, 3107, 3108, 3109, 3093, 3094, 3095, 3113 for home based businesses.

My desire with JustLocal is to build a stronger local community by building a stronger local business base. In particular I'd like to help others running businesses from home in the Templestowe, Templestowe Lower, Eltham, Lower Plenty, Montmorency, Doncaster, Doncaster East, Bulleen and Warrandyte areas. As an Easter special I'd like to make a free offer to home based businesses in the above areas.

My offer for the remainder of March 2013 through to the end of April 2013 is the following:

1. Three months free advertising on your JustLocal postcode page. No catches, no cost.
2. An additional three months of advertising on your postcode page if you provide a link from your main page of your site to your JustLocal postcode page (to help promote yourself and others businesses in the area) and during the first three months purchase from three other businesses advertising on your postcode page.

That's a total of six months of free advertising in your local area for free, nada, nix.

The normal terms and conditions of JustLocal still apply, such as a maximum of two of the same type of business and one network marketer from the same network marketing group. Additional conditions of the offer is since the advertising is free you don't have rights over the lot as paid advertisers do, just the ability to use the lot to promote your business. Also the offer is for a single lot on a postcode page.

At the end of the six months you will be under no obligation to continue advertising on JustLocal. My aim is to show local businesses that JustLocal works and the best way to do that is for businesses to participate.

To take up the free offer go to your JustLocal postcode page, click on an empty lot (a white block). Fill out the details and submit your information. At the payment screen since this is a free offer, just close the screen. No need to make a payment. Then send me a graphic image you'd like me to use to promote your business.

If you don't own or run a local business in one of the above areas, but know someone that does, please pass on the offer to others you know in the area.
 
Happy Easter everyone.

Study pinpoints the preferred route for rail link to connect Doncaster and the city

It is interesting to watch the progress of the preferred route for the Doncaster line. Ending the line at a car park (the park and ride) seems like a ludicrous idea. I would need to take two buses to get to the train from where I live in Templestowe. The park-and-ride is a long way from the Doncaster activity centre.

A TRAIN along the Eastern Freeway has been identified as the best rail route to Doncaster, with a new underground line from Northcote to the city integral to the plan. ... Read More

The Liberal part came to power in the last election with the promise and intent of building the Doncaster line. By the next election I doubt if a single spade of dirt will have been turned.

I am not endorsing the plan for a rail link one way or the other. My desire is to encourage people to shop and work locally and if more people did that there would be less need for public transport to the city. People don’t think they can make a difference but if people used their buying power to support other locals (not necessarily existing businesses as they may not be owned or staffed by locals) and generate work for them, then things can start to change. It begins with each of us. We can make a difference.
