Openhourz was originally founded as a business directory, but now stands as a small business marketing firm. The transition occurred as a result of insights gained in taking Openhourz from a novel idea to an indispensable online tool that now attracts over 20,000 visitors a day and counting. The journey was not an easy one. At first growth was slow because of the number of competitors Openhourz had in our market niche. Our team persevered through the tough times and then it occurred to us – the key to success was in marketing. We implementing systems that helped users find Openhourz and then encouraged them to know, like, and trust us. These systems focused on: - SEO - Social media marketing - Building Meaningful Relationships - Blogging As Openhourz started seeing great results from its marketing efforts, our team realized that the same techniques we were using would apply significantly to a small business trying to attract more customers. Furthermore, the options for outsourcing or attaining marketing assistance for small business were severely limited, and thus Openhourz grew into a small business marketing firm. Openhourz saves businesses money by eliminating the need for an expensive website. We help them save through the creation of online profiles that provide the advantages of a traditional website without any of the major drawbacks. As an added benefit, Openhourz uses a 3-step optimization process on each profile to help businesses attract more customers.
