For many of you that are registered and listed on MerchantCircle, having a listing and networking with other merchants is great, but you are missing a huge opportunity. So many merchants are listed and networked with other businesses and hope to be contacted to provide a product or service. Waiting is probably the worst thing you can do.

Why? You are missing out on a huge opportunity to build your customer base.

The businesses that you network with have most likely listed their contact information such as name, phone number, email address, and website address. These are the companies that you can call on. I mean why not? The purpose of MerchantCircle is to get more customers for your business. There are various ways to contact these businesses, phone, email, mailing address, provide coupons, and even sign them up for your newsletter. If you don't have the last two marketing strategies implemented, you at least have the others available.

How do I find the right customers? MerchantCircle has a search feature that allows you to limit your search for a specific location. Enter a keyword or a few keywords for a location near you or your business and see what comes up. You can always increase your reach into neighboring cities and markets. The key to finding the customers is persistence.

What's special about using MerchantCircle for finding customers? Think about it for a minute; don't worry I'll wait.... okay, you're not paying for this massive list of potential customers. You're looking at possibly thousands of customers, if not millions, to sell to and the only cost to you is the time it takes to contact these businesses.

You have already discovered that advertising on MerchantCircle is free. When you can reach hundreds, thousands, and millions of businesses, sell to them and have them review your business on MerchantCircle then you've just increased your potential for new customers. Your ROI (Return On Investment) is astronomical.
