Just thought I should test a very local marketing idea.

I have a small suburb (or town) with somewhere around 200 – 300 shops and small businesses, and I would like to put them all on a web-site. Probably allowing a “screen-size-area” for each business, with some form of searching both on company name and product to find your way around the page.

The initial listing will be a free service – “so what’s in it for me” – you might wonder?

Well, can anyone give me “money making ideas” of a captured audience?

1.) With a limited space there should be a chance for “up-selling” to an unlimited size page for some customers.

2.) Then we have marketing ideas, selling discounted price vouchers to direct customer to of peak or low season times?

3.) Etc etc etc . . . . . Ideas????

With the vouchers, I want to have them very flexible, and I want the customer to select the voucher and then print it straight to their own printer.

Sounds a bit complex doesn’t it?
A restaurant offering a 25% discount if you dine before 6:30 or after 8:30.
A barbershop offer a 2 for 1 voucher if you get your hair cut in February.
And a corner store has a Friday offer of 30% off a certain list of products.

Customer must be registered to be able to print the vouchers, can the vouchers be a ‘pdf file’ which prohibits download but allows printing straight of the web page. Or should it be a web-form where the customer needs to enter name and E-mail.

How can an effective payment system work?

Does this sound 'doable' in DNN?

Better close here before I drag out for too long….

Cheers
