PRESS RELEASE - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

New e-directory makes searching for that mechanic easy

Sydney AU -- September 2, 2008 -- Did you know that the number of people using their computer to find a business or tradesman has tripled in the past 5 years?, very few people are reaching for the bulky old telephone book these days. The most searched for business online is a mechanic closely followed by florists and bridal wear.

You would think online directories such as yellow pages and truelocal would be becoming more sophisticated to meet the growing demand but research shows people are finding it difficult to navigate these business directory sites and hard to find someone local to them, 32% of searchers actually give up and go and get the bulky old yellow pages out of the cupboard

Predictably  82% of people will only search the first page of listings before choosing a business to call and even less, 67%, only the first 3-5 listings

This research comes from a new business directory called click4help.com.au that has been designed with these problems in mind and only HAS 10 listings per business type and guarantees the business will be within 10 kms of your suburb, all this within only 2 clicks from the home page to the listing

Searching online just got a whole lot easier. You will only find 10 plumbers, florists, electricians, hairdressers etc on click4help in your area but all very local.

Linda from West pennant Hills says....”It’s the easiest online directory I have used, your granny could use it. All I have to do is put my postcode into the front page and then I am only one click from my listing, how easy is that, I love it, it’s my home page, I use it for everything now, and so do my friends, no more bulky telephone books.

Click4help is also offering the small business community an opportunity to showcase their businesses at a series of business breakfasts, the next one is October 16th at Muirfield golf club in Sydneys  north west, call Anne on (02) 9980 1812 for details or log onto click4help.com.au
