PRESS RELEASE – FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(LANGLEY, B.C., CANADA) - Billed as the Facebook for businesses and consumers, Langley, B.C.-Langley based isearch411 launched the second phase of its growth strategy by extending its reach into the lucrative U.S. market this week. By expanding into the U.S., the new website now boasts two million Canadian and American business profiles, which are simply a click of a computer mouse away, linking consumers with businesses across North America."This is the most anticipated and innovative multimedia business website seen in years," says company vice president Alim Karim, who is a 19-year-old McGill University business faculty student. "Basically, we have created a Facebook for businesses that allows our clients from all over North America to add or update any type of business profile." What sets isearch411.com apart is the fact that it is free, and allows clients to upload a logo, banners or even a video to their profile, along with photographs of their favourite or most popular products, Karim says. The website enables any business owner to set up a virtual storefront that doesn't require any expertise in web design, as isearch411.com's easy-to-use tools make it a simple and straight forward process to reach a global consumer base.
Using a keyword-based local search engine, consumers searching for any kind of product or service can locate stores in their city—or anywhere else in the U.S. or Canada—and select where they'd like to do their business. Unlike conventional business and telephone directories, isearch411.com is more than just a listing of names, addresses and phone numbers. It enables business owners to distinguish themselves by personalizing their profiles and showcasing what sets them apart from their competition. Business owners looking for qualified help can also hang out a virtual shingle on the website through the newly added Help Wanted feature. This will allow businesses to post job opportunities and list all the necessary qualifications. As Canada's first free online networking website for businesses, Karim sees blue skies ahead for isearch411.com as he aims to help business owners reach a wider audience in the millions with no obligations, hidden costs or fees, there's nothing for business owners to lose and a world of business to gain.
