Strong Objections Drove the Creation of the FindTheBiz Marketing Service

because the FTB format is designed to provide our members with limitless marketing and promotion for superior power and control of their online advertising.
because FTB always provides all our members with a fair and level playing field for all our members without regard to membership level. We all understand that only one business can be in first place, but search engines and other marketing services have made it an impossible competition where thousands of businesses compete to be first on their platforms. It is insane. Yet, they have been the only games in town. Based on your location, you should always be first, that is fair!
because FTB, unlike others, gives you the ability to protect and control your business name, your brand from people with malice who can cause considerable damage to your brand and adversely affect your bottom line.

because no other marketing service is about your business like FTB.
because FTB is a business-friendly community marketing and promotion service. Our service does not support feuding and harsh or nasty banter between any of our members.

because the FTB format is designed to give your business limitless possibilities.
because FTB empowers your business with the ability to post a sale or event (within your biz profile), post it to social media, push it to those who favorite your business and positively affect your daily bottom line.
because with FTB you can directly reward and thank people who favorite your business(s) via a push notice sent to their phone or mobile device which can make them good marketers for your business and lifelong customers or patrons of your business.
because at FTB we understand that competition is inherent in business, and we reject marketing platforms that are designed and formatted to ramp up the competition between businesses. FTB simply lets the consumer decide.
because other online services have taken control of the marketing reigns for businesses everywhere with their visions of how online marketing should be for millions upon millions of businesses even though these platforms weed out and adversely affect millions upon millions other businesses which don’t market or do well on these platforms. At FTB we know millions of businesses will never reach anywhere near their potential because of such ridiculous regulating on a wide-open communication tool. Therefore, FTB is here to help all business owners get their biz on equally… The way it should be.
because your business and bottom line has been negatively impacted by the current direction of online marketing and promotion. Likewise, improper/inaccurate, and adverse representation of your business by one or more of the present online marketing services has caused your business(s) to suffer.
because other online marketing and advertising service platforms have been made to unfairly exclude and even harm the reputation of too many great businesses by structuring and coding their services to suppress or suffocate their business messages, purposeful or not.
because most other internet advertising systems are designed and structured so that if you don’t know their game or you are not playing their game(s) then your business(s) will not do well. These designs and formats cause millions of businesses to miss or lose customers or patrons every day.
because you simply disagree with, detest, abhor, and reject the other online marketing services which ramp up competition, make you jump through hoops, cost too much and you just don't like the other online marketing services! The way they do things just doesn’t sit right within your spirit just as it does not within ours at FTB!
because your business is being pigeonholed as result of current online marketing practices and your marketing efforts are ineffective, fruitless, and unproductive as a result.
because online marketing services are designed with platforms that perpetuate the false notion that only so many businesses deserve the limelight and are meant to do well in business while most others deserve mediocracy or less.
because all websites exist in a sea of websites. If everyone were to build their own apps, it would be the same situation, not to mention the expense of building and maintaining an app.
because the FTB service keeps your business out front and provides you with an effective marketing and promotion platform which supports the integrity of your business at a very reasonable cost.
because if your business is suffering due to poor or nonexistent marketing, FTB was made to be the answer you need. With FTB you are in control of your business destiny. Control is in your hands, not someone else’s hands.
because other services are now trying to control the flow of patrons, patients and consumers who come to your business by pooling them and attempting to coax you to pay their service in order to receive consumers from their pool which means millions more businesses will be left out.
because most businesses grow by reaching out and connecting with the public through marketing and promotion efforts, and those services that restrict, limit or are hit-and-miss for your online marketing efforts are not providing proper and fair online representation of your business. It is imperative for you to market your brand constantly and continuously, and more marketing services are placing strangle holds on businesses that don’t play, know how, and/ or cannot afford to play their games. This results in a loss of optional goods and services to the public and negatively impacts millions of businesses and their owners, their families, and their employees.
because you should always and forever remain lord, and controller over your online business marketing and promotion. FTB gives you the power and control to take back your rights, but with other services the concern about your rights is evident as seen through their platforms.
because at FTB we realize your brand is an asset and only you should be entrusted to protect it just as you do your own personal reputation. Thus, you should always monitor it and remain in control of it. Don’t allow marketing services to benefit from your brand while you pay them if these same service’s platforms can harm what you’ve worked hard to build! This is a blatant conflict of interest.
because you deserve to have a marketing service which truly advocates for your business marketing and promotion voice.
because FTB makes it simple for you because we know many have shied away from the hassles and complexities of online marketing.
because your business is dependent on word-of-mouth referrals to grow, but the monthly ups and downs caused by unreliable and sporadic referral sources, which includes those other internet marketing services, results in mediocre performance and little to no profit margin. FTB is a way to circumvent the dependency on these unreliable, inconsistent, unpredictable, and fickle sources and effectively boost your bottom line. It is a given that no one else will treat your business as well as you do so, let the words from your mouth, in a video for your business, be your game changer. YOU should always be your best word-of-mouth referral source, and now you can with FindTheBiz!
because with FTB there are no hoops to jump through. Just choose your plan, complete your profile and presto your business profile is out there and in first place. other services have snatched control like it is their world therefore, you must jump through their hoops to thrive. It is not their world! It belongs to all people born into it!
because power and controls were snatched from the hands of business owners, but FTB was made for you to take it back.
because FTB was designed and developed from the perspective of a small business owner who has 30+ years of experience and understanding of what it takes to run a business, as well as knowledge of the time and energy required to run it, complete familiarity with the numerous upfront, unexpected, pop-up, and unrelenting costs, and fees to maintain and promote it, and the perseverance needed to deal with it all. Therefore, the FTB marketing service was made to help make business life easier and promotion more effective.

The App is a business locator for consumers and a fantastic marketing and promotion device for business owners. The FTB App displays businesses by location, GPS. Consumers search by type of business, only. Search results will display matching member businesses. Searches can also be made by name, city, state and/or zip code. Search results display icons which are associated with business search results helping to explain what is in the business profile. The numbers next to the icons denote sale(s), event(s), photos, video(s) and testimonial(s). These are located at the bottom of each member listing if present within the biz profile. Clicking on the business name opens the business profile for the user to view. Depending upon the level of membership a business profile may contain an extensive or limited business or personal bio, photo(s), video(s), sale(s) and/or special event(s).
