Business Benefits:
Businesses need customers to stay in business. In the conventional method, a business pays for customers. Thats right .. pays for them! Customers do not normally patronize a business, without seeing some form of advertising. Advertising costs MONEY! Depending on the type of advertising the business chooses to use, the business has to pay, and then hopes the customer comes in.

The type of advertising conventional businesses use are:

• Radio - Television - Billboards
• Newspaper Ads - Flyers - Magazines
• Coupon Companies - Direct Mail - etc.
  
  
• Billboards = $1000 - 20,000 per month
• Radio = $100 - $300 per spot
• Television, depending on time = $150 - $500 per spot
• Direct Mail of 10,000 pieces = $700 - $1000 per mailing
