Our services in a nutshell

If you're a small local business that wants to create more on-line buzz for itself then get in touch.

Localventure offers free blog posts to advertise your business, you can include images in the post if you like and then when you have more news or fancy blogging about your business or life in general you are welcome to come back to us and we'll include you again - for free !

We can afford to do this for nothing because firstly we want great new content on our blog to get a bigger readership - this helps you and then when we launch the localventure website and begin charging for an extended range of services we will already have critical mass of support from you, our first tranche of clients. Secondly, as local business owners ourselves we know the value of a little bit of word of mouth/free support. So we're passionate about making the powerhouse of the economy even more powerful.

We also offer other business support services from which we make our crust. So for now and the foreseeable future Localventure is free.

Trapped on the M6/M62 yesterday afternoon

I spent over two and a half hours trapped yesterday near Manchester when the M 62 was closed.

I decided not to waste my time so I took down details of all the businesses I thought were relevant to Localventure and have now e-mailed them to ask if they'd like to be included on the blog for free.

If you're one of the companies who's looking at the post following my e-mail - Hi there, thanks for taking the time to look and feel free to e-mail or ring if you have questions. There isn't a catch and we're hear to help !

New product offering from Prestige Whisky

Localventure - our services

At Localventure our primary focus is to help and support small business and entrepreneuship. So for the foreseeable future our main task will be to offer the following services free to business :

1) free presence on this blog for you with the opportunity to include your logo or relevant images within your posting
2) the opportunity to link to us, and then provide guest blog entries to pass on whatever news you have from your business whenever you want.
3) As this is a blog, as new posts come in, yours will drop lower - so we'll add in your entries again on a regular basis to ensure you appear often on the front page.
4) Let us know whenever you publish website updates, tweets, or your own blog posts and we'll point our readers towards them

Over time we will of course hope to monetize this when we offer this service via our new website which is currently under construction. For now however, it's in our interests to build up interest and get some interesting content by offering the service for nothing.



In addition to the free blogging services we're also able to offer the following (unfortunately not for free services) :

New Media Support : blog & website design and upgrade, SEO services,Twitter management
Business consultancy, support and introductions/Networking functions
Advertising consultancy

For more details on what we can do to help and support your business please contact Phil on 07883 882064 or e-mail on venturelocal@gmail.com
