SalonCanada.com is about to revolutionize how Salons are able to present themselves on the Internet. Instead of thousands of individual, unconnected web sites, you can now belong to a directory that specializes in only salons. Think of it as a one-stop shop for all the information your clients will need when looking for a salon.

It's a fact of life now, there are hundreds of companies trying to sell you Internet advertising space. What's worse is that most of them are just trying to make money on actually designing the web page for a few hundred dollars and then leaving you out in the cold by placing your web page on some non-salon related web project.

We charge $40.00/ Month for your Salon's listing. Many companies charge up to 10 times that amount without having nearly the audience that we attract. As well, we ONLY list Salons. This means your salon is not competing with other activities or attractions. People who come to SalonCanada.com are looking for Salons. Plus, our format is simple, powerful and internationally recognizable since we use graphics to represent data.

We are here for the long run. Here are just a few good reasons to subscribe with us:

We'll Get You Business.

We don't count "hits" (which is a meaningless term). We count individuals; people like you or me from all over the world using our server to find Canadian Salons. We publish our numbers for anyone to review.

We Market and Promote This Web Project.

We aggressively market this web site on the Internet in over 1700 different search engines and travel sites, as well as in print (eg: Canoe, The Globe and Mail, Sympatico Magazine, Chatelaine, Costco, AEROMiles, local newsletters, etc.) on the radio (eg: CBC morning radio) and by word of mouth.

Our Technology is proven.

We know that many of you already have web sites and/or belong to large Internet portals, but none have the power and simplicity of SalonCanada.com. We have designed this site so that anyone can use it; from the latest versions of Netscape/MS Internet Explorer, to the oldest text browsers such as Lynx and Mosaic. They all work on our web site. You will NEVER see a "This site optimized for Netscape" on our site. We won't alienate your potential next client. It's a hard fact that many people browsing this project from overseas do NOT have the latest Internet technology at their disposal; some are a few years behind in technology. No problem; everything will work on this web project.

We Are Inexpensive and Designed to Stay That Way.

We have developed a proprietary database technology that allows us to offer an inexpensive listing.

Our database technology generates the content of the web site dynamically, as well as generating renewal letters, reports and other statistics about this web project. It is all self contained within one program. Many of our competitors create your web page by hand, tediously, without any method of tracking the data that goes into those pages. When you would like your description changed simply edit your record in our database and it changes immediately; just use SALONdug.

As well, our database can tell us, for example, who is up for renewal in August, who has not renewed yet in July, how many people subscribed in the first quarter of 2003, allowing us to forecast our advertising budget for the next quarter, print reminder letters to overdue subscribers, generate your web page, etc.

How does all of this technology affect you? All of these state of the art techniques allow us to cut overhead and keep the price low. It only requires 5 people to manage this web project since we have developed such a powerful database tool for tracking and adding salons.

You Have a Web Page Somewhere Else Already

Great! But will anyone ever find you? When someone in Germany wants to find a Salon in Canada, they don't want to haphazardly look through random pages scattered across the Internet. They would want to find a standard Salon resource with hundreds of searchable listings shown in a commonly understood format. This is precisely what we provide.

A common analogy would be this: perhaps you have an attractive poster advertisement developed. Anyone can develop the poster ad, but it's totally useless if you take that ad and post it on a billboard in your backyard. You would want that poster to be plastered in every major travel shop and hair salon available. We offer you the poster (web page) and we offer to put it on our billboard (SalonCanada.com).

As part of our subscription, we allow you an outside link to your other web page at no extra cost. We would hate for those other web pages to go unnoticed since you paid good money to have them developed.

We Have The Future In Mind

To date, our Internet technology has been very successful. Our future goals include affiliations with large Canadian Internet content providers and perhaps a print book for people to carry at their convenience.

We are working hard to promote your salon.
