Several weeks ago I went to a meeting of Local First Arizona . This is a group of locally owned and operated businesses that are working to promote local businesses over the big box stores. Do you like a restaurant that is the same in Phoenix as in 100 other cities across the USA? Would you rather dine at a restaurant that has good food, a unique menu and an chef/owner who cares if you like the food or not. I like to find that unusual place and rarely go to a big chain restaurant.
At this meeting I met Lee who has created a business called Darn Good Deals . She looks for unique businesses that offer good value and service and promotes them through her web site and other types of advertising.
She said that there were no car dealerships on her site. Several dealerships had wanted to be represented there, but did not live up to the standards she sets for her advertisers. The first thing she checks when looking at a business is the Better Business Bureau record. If there are too many complaints she just doesn't list the business. She was impressed when she found that we have no complaints in the last 36 months.
If you are looking for a new business to deal with, take a look at these web sites.
