You know fellow business owners who: are paying more than they should be each month for their web hosting, have a weak website that needs help, have an outdated website because making changes is either too hard, takes too much effort, or their current webmaster doesn’t respond to their pleas for help, or don't have any website at all?

 

Do you have a small business (1-10 employees) that is largely offline? Are your customers mostly local?  Is there someone in your network that fits this bill?

More and more, your customers are forsaking the Yellow Pages for Google, Yahoo, MSN and other search engines. It's become easier to search for "web design Lansing" — and if you don't find one in the city of Lansing, widen the search to "web design Michigan".  Now try to widen your search with that heavy phone book!

Local businesses are also online. Local companies are using the Internet to...

• build trust and deepen relationships with existing local customers by providing friendly, personal information about the business, great content (i.e. valuable "do-it-yourself" articles), "website only" specials, etc. (but this is only the first and most obvious step)
  
• raise their local brand awareness above that of their competitors
  
• leverage their local expertise and knowledge for global clients, selling their goods online, even through online auctions.

It's time to develop a solid web presence, generate qualified leads, build loyalty through an e-mail newsletter for your customers, stand out from local competition, and add new income streams. How do you do that? Dreamscape Multimedia can help!

Think of your website as a "Super-Yellow Pages ad

When leveraged properly, your website "ad" delivers exponential results at a fraction of the price. People are searching less and less by yellow book and more by their favorite search engine. Now that it is possible to target consumers by city, right down to the zip/postal code, more businesses than ever are using the Internet to reach local markets.

If your small, local business does not use an Internet presence to promote itself, keep in touch with customers, extend its reach, and compete in the local market, you're leaving business on the table at the end of the day. Are your competitors online?

 

Invest in your online marketing before your LOCAL competition does! Whatever your local business may be... Your world, your reach, your impact is now much, much bigger than a 4" x 2" Yellow Pages ad. Regardless of the type of local business or local clientele you have, and regardless of your background, Dreamscape Multimedia can help. Whether you're starting from scratch, have no technical skills or web marketing experience, Dreamscape Multimedia can assist you on this journey.

 

Does your Yellow Pages ad...

• attract hundreds, even thousands, of visitors, many of whom become new business, per day?
• qualify prospective customers before they call you?
• nurture, encourage and develop the relationship you already maintain with existing customers, increasing both loyalty and repeat business??
• command undivided attention? Once they are on your site, you have their total attention (unlike a crowded Yellow Pages page)!
• "help" clients away from your competitors?
• give you the ability to update frequently and to reach your clients with seasonal specials, interesting jewels, etc.?
• open new markets globally (yes, your local business!)?

How could it? After all, what could you possibly accomplish in a small rectangle, on a big yellow page crammed with other ads?

 

Testimonial My initial challenge was the fear of unknown territory. I think most people do not want to take that step into the new and unfamiliar. Dreamscape made me feel comfortable from the very first phone call. They have made every step easy, without pressure, and I think that's very important to me and many people who are in business today. First, one of my own clients referred Dreamscape to me as we were discussing my idea to look into a website for our business. From there I talked to Matt and immediately found he was patient, informative and he talked to me in layman's terms. I am not a tech guy, but the information Matt gave me and the options he explained made the whole process go quite smoothly. I knew, as a business, we needed to explore the web for another avenue of exposure. I feel the web and Dreamscape Multimedia has opened the door to more avenues than I ever imagined. Advertising is expensive but I was amazed at how little it cost to reach so many people compared to newspaper, TV and other forms of exposure for our business. I am excited about the many other angles of exposure and marketing that Dreamscape can direct our business in. Now we can reach past and future clients with the help of Matt and his staff.  Brad Marshall Owner Brad's Hair Studio, Inc.

About the Dreamscape Multimedia datacenter
Dreamscape Multimedia's datacenter has been designed to accommodate clients demanding the highest quality network performance. There is a central focus on redundancy allowing the network to rapidly self-heal failures without interruptions to connectivity.

Bandwidth
Ensuring our clients enjoy the highest quality Internet connectivity and performance is our top priority. Our data center uses premium Tier-1 bandwidth providers, ensuring minimal latency and fast connections to all points of the global internet. We are proud to feature direct connectivity with MCI, AT&T, Savvis and Level3. This aggregate connectivity reaches an astounding 4,500+ networks just a single network away from our uplinks.

Security
Datacenter access is strictly limited to technical staff. Electronic security systems control data center access and are accompanied by a full compliment of motion detecting security cameras which monitor the entire facility. External walls are reinforced poured concrete.

Support
The datacenter is a fully-managed facility, which means level 3 technicians are onsite 24 hours per day, allowing incident response times to be kept to a minimum. Average support request phone call is answered within 20 seconds, with an average electronic support response time of 10 minutes. Dreamscape Multimedia acts as your first line of defense and will work for you with the data center to ensure any support issues you may experience are solved quickly and completely.

Power System
Power systems feature extensive fault tolerance and resilience at every layer. Incoming service is routed underground to a dedicated onsite transformer. This system routes to the automatic transfer switch which monitors power quality, and automatically transfers to emergency generators in the event they are needed. The facility is also protected by one or more Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS), featuring redundant battery cabinets and full maintenance bypass cabinets allowing for service and upgrades without interruption of power to our servers.

Beyond this, the datacenter has multiple emergency generators waiting on standby, featuring over 24 hours of autonomous runtime before requiring refueling. In the unlikely event of a power failure, generators automatically go active and are up to speed within 10 seconds to take over for the UPS systems. Each generator is test run at least once a week to ensure they are ready in the event they are needed.

Server Environment
Environmental processing systems include redundant Liebert Precision 22-ton up flow air conditioning units. Temperature and humidity are precisely regulated year round to ensure optimal equipment reliability. Each unit contains independent compressors and cooling loops to further enhance fault tolerance and reliability. Air filtration systems actively remove foreign particulates from circulation and cycle the entire data center air supply in a matter of minutes.
