Oklahoma’s Can Do Attitude Makes State Great Place to Live, Work, and Play!

  At LocalOkAds.com we are proud to serve the entire state of Oklahoma and the citizens that call this great state home. We are proud of the rich traditions and heritage our state offers its citizens. Oklahoman’s know that this state is one of the nation’s most desirable places to live, work, and play. Known for friendly people and a “can do” attitude, our state has something for everyone.

A wide spectrum of major corporations call Oklahoma their home, including the Sonic Corporation, Dollar Rent-A-Car, Thrifty Rent-A-Car, Devon Energy and Kerr-Mcgee. We are proud of their accomplishments and the pride that they have brought to our great state. However, at LocalOKAds.com we honor the small business man or women who is the lifeblood of our state. Businesses like Kuts-4-Kids, Tulsa; Bright Smile Family Dentistry, Edmond; OKC Wellness Clinic, Oklahoma City; and Merkley’s Driver Training, Edmond/Oklahoma City. Each one has a tradition for quality service, fair prices and a “can do” attitude.

Many Oklahomans have established even smaller businesses directly in their home. These are the folks who are out their pounding the pavement, going the extra mile, and doing their best to carve out a living. Once again it’s their “can do” attitude that helps them acheive success in such a brutal environment as small business ownership. Owners like Jeri Mobley of Arbonne International & Discovery Toys, Oklahoma City; and Speech Pathologist, Judy Dennis, also of Oklahoma City. These fine people are very dedicated to their professions and will take the time and energy necessary to see that they serve you to the best of their abilities. Please visit their web sites or businesses. You will be helping Oklahoma and its citizens stay strong.

Their attitudes remind me of one now famous Oklahoman who hails from Checotah,Oklahoma, population 3,500 Ms. Carrie Underwood. Her “can do” attitude, hard work, and love for what she does earned her the title as America’s Idol. Now Carrie has gone on to earn a recording contract, number one singles and various music awards. It just goes to show you what Oklahoman’s are capable of really doing.    

At LocalOKAds.com we are proud to serve the people and businesses of Oklahoma. Please take the time to visit the Oklahoma Pixel Board at www.LocalOKAds.com its the only one of its kind in the state. Take some time to browse the websites and see what Oklahoman’s have to offer you. Their commitment to professionalism and quality is beyond measure, our sponsers will take the time to listen and understand your needs. I can tell you that I have visted and purchased many of their products and services. I have never been disappointed by their commitment to service, fair prices and quality work.

Well, until next time…Stay Great Oklahoma!

Trade Oil for Food? It’s As Simple As Economics 101

  Recently a friend and I were talking about the surge in gasoline prices. During our conversation I mentioned that Wal-Mart was no longer the richest company in the world. It had been overtaken by the Exxon Oil Company. With a tone of disgust, my friend commented that it took nearly $100 to fill the tank of his Chevy Surburban. Frankley, I was shocked! How could he consider dropping $100 into his gas tank. Cliff commented, “as I approached $85 I kept thinking the pump was going to click off any moment … $90… $95…, finally; $97.35 later my tank was full,” he said. I asked him if the high price of gasoline was going to slow him down? You see, Cliff is an active traveler and sportsman. He enjoys traveling around the state of Oklahoma, fishing, spending the weekends at his lake retreat, and boating. His answer; a resounding “No!”  “I will find a way to fill my all of my gas tanks,” he said.

I am not an Economist. In fact, I can remember in high school disliking the whole subject. However, I do remember a concept regarding the Law of Supply and Demand.  The Demand Side goes something like this: As the price goes up, demand comes down and vice versa. As demand goes up, price comes down. It seems like if something is cheap in price then people want to buy it. Now, of course, there are other factors that may effect this, but I think, the law could be true. The Supply Side says that the higher something’s price is, the more it will be supplied. Now I am sure people (oil companies) want to charge the highest price possible for the least amount of production possible. As prices increase, so do the expectations for profits. As people (oil companies) expect more profits from a product, they naturally produce more of that product. They produce this high-priced product rather than a low-priced one.

It seems to me that the price of fuel these days is not curving anyones appetite to use less. There seems to be just as many cars on the road today compared to when fuel was around $1. Does anyone remember those days? Anyway, my faith in Demand Side economics has been severly shaken. However, I am becoming a big believer in Supply Side economics because the oil companies are enjoying record profits all at the expense of you and me. You see, we act like drug addicts, and the oil companies are the suppliers, we’ll do anything to get one more fill at our favorite filling station. Maybe will trade Oil for Food. Think about it.

Oklahoma, interested in what your favorite filling station is charging you for gas today? Remember to check out our gas price link on the right sidebar. Good Luck.

So, until next time…Stay Great Oklahoma!

Pixel Craze in Oklahoma? 10 Reasons Why Pixels Should Not Be Feared

Since I started my own Internet advertising agency back in January I have been out in the community selling my product. Many times I hear the question “Why should I advertise with you?” or “What can you do for me?” In the beginning my constant stammering chased many customers away. However, since then I have polished my answers a bit, although, I still get the door slammed in my face.

We humans are smug people, we always believe that our “thing” or “product” is the best, and people are nuts for not seeing it themselves. “What is wrong with this person,” I said to myself the other day. “Don’t they understand they recieve very little traffic to their website (Alexa rating statistics) and that means very few potential sales!” I can help them.

I understand, people don’t trust other people. Who can blame them. Look at all the ripoffs out there! After that experience I decided to alleviate everyones fears, as well as my own, and wrote why I believe Oklahoman’s with websites should advertise on www.localokads.com . Our site is unique. As far as I am aware, no one in Oklahoma has a site like LocalOKAds that offers pixel advertising, news, features, free blogging, etc.

1. Our site is geographical. We promote Oklahoma businesses, not the entire Internet world. And we write about Oklahoma too.
2. We have talented web designers on staff. Completely dedicated to building web sites at very reasonable prices. The lowest in the state. Go ahead take a look. Our work is out their on the Big Board. In addition, we don’t charge monthly fees. If we build your page we’ll maintain it for free no matter what.
3. We will host and promote your site for 5 years. You can keep track of the time if you want. But, we will promote and host for 5 years.
4. When you become our client we will actively promote your business with our weblog. We offer more than the “Million Dollar Home Page.” You will receive a greater Return On Investment.
5. We are currently working on adding a pixel bulletin board to provide variety, and yet more coverage for our advertisers and for our Internet readers.
6. We offer a monthly feature called “Spotlight on Oklahoma” that uncovers an Oklahoma town or city. We find out about its history and what makes it unique in Oklahoma.
7. On our Pixel Board we offer a promotion called “Lock Out” where you the advertiser can lock out your competition for two years from placing their own advertisement on the Pixel Board.
8. We worry about driving Internet traffic to your site. Not you. We’ve learned alot in 3 months about Internet marketing. There are thousands of sites on the Internet saying they can drive traffic to your site, but really there are only a few good ones.
9. We can promise you that we will work hard and be honest, that our prices will be financially reasonable, and that your Internet experience will be a pleasant one. We have confidence in the products and services you provide to Oklahomans. We will do our best to generate traffic to your website.
10. Finally, we are friends to small business folks. They are the economic blood of this state. We can succeed, however, we need each other to do so.

Well that’s my rant for now. So come on, check us out and give us a chance. At least visit the site and look around at www.localokads.com , Oklahoma’s premier site for doing business on the web.

So, until next time…Stay Great Oklahoma!
