I thought these were a couple of pretty neat RelyLocal commercials made from other Relylocal owners in Columbia, SC. and Collierville, TN. It's very exciting to be a part of something that is truly making a local difference in communities around the country.

An inside look at how RelyLocal.com helps our local businesses...
For those Facebook fans that may own a local business or know someone in town who is a local business owner I thought that I would share some insight on just how RelyLocal.com Prattville, Millbrook and Wetumpka genuinely helps our local businesses.
Today's market is really a "Global" market due to the internet. Not only are people able to shop online and purchase online but on the flip side they are also able to scope out local businesses in another city or state that may provide a product or service that they need.
For Example, Let's say that you live in Illinois and your wife is taking a beach trip with her lady friends and find themselves in the Prattville area without AC for their car in the dead of summer. Maybe the ladies don't own a smart phone that is internet ready (which would be rare these days) and call one of their husbands back in Illinois and ask what they should do. The husband goes to Google and types in "automotive a/c repair prattville alabama". The result would be...
Maybe he didn't type in "Automotive A/C repair Prattville Alabama" and he just simply Google searched "Mechanic Prattville Alabama". The result would be...
35 different countries have viewed our RelyLocal.com over the past 21 days
44 different states in the U.S.
And 58 different cities in Alabama
Overall over the past 21 days we have had 2,160 visits to our RelyLocal.com via Keyword searches on Google, Yahoo, Bing...

The 3/50 Project
How did The 3/50 Project begin?
As many great things do...by accident.
The first week in March 2009 sowed the seeds for what would later become a firestorm—
Monday: Oprah does a show instructing consumers to stop spending money on anything that was non-necessity
Tuesday: CBS News reports that “Consumer spending drives 70% of the economy. When consumers put their wallets away, the economy has trouble making a U-turn.”
Friday: In a guest spot on the Today Show, Erin Burnett from CNBC talks about how psychology plays into the economy and the importance of innovation in times of difficulty
Sunday: Erin’s back, this time on Meet the Press, chiding the national media for taking negative hyperbole into the stratosphere
Mix those together with a deep seated desire to create a message that’s positive and achievable, and, well...you get a blog post written on March 11, 2009, giving birth to The 3/50 Project.
The next week, I threw together a free flyer businesses could crank out of their desktop printers to hand customers. Within 48 hours, I received more than 350 emails asking “What else have you got?”
So I built the website you see today, launching it mid-afternoon on Monday, March 30th.
In the first seven days, more than 7,600 people found it (8,600+ if you count repeat visits).
Be careful what you blog about. It just might change the world. Or at least someone’s world.

The Weight of Walmart
Here’s a great graphic from Frugal Dad that gives some great visual representations of just how HUGE WalMart really is… Rather than spoil the creativity with a summary of the data, check it out for yourself:
