BoholBiz.Com, the most comprehensive online business directory for Bohol, now offers free web pages for SMEs who want to get additional market exposure through the Internet. Because of the proliferation of Internet access, it is now a common practice to search online for contact information. It is therefore an advantage for SMEs who may not have the resources to advertise on print and radio. Users searching for businesses in Bohol will simply go to www.boholbiz.com and then search for the business name or browse through the categories.

In addition, SMEs may use their BoholBiz URL on their business cards and brochures so that potential clients know how to lookup for their information online. An example of a BoholBiz URL is http://www.boholbiz.com/auzanet. The word ‘auzanet’ may be replaced by the company’s short name or initials. BoholBiz also accepts logos and product pictures on the page allowing SMEs to showcase their products and services.

The online business directory currently has around 10,000 entries in various categories and is growing. In addition, a new prepaid load service called Budget Load, will sponsor free Globe Business SIMs to the listed companies. One mobile number on the SIMs will become the official Budget Load number for the company and the company can use an unlimited number of SIMs for its employees. These Business SIMs allow the company employees to call each other at only Php3.50/minute . Please see the Budget Load print ads for more details.

BoholBiz also invites all SMEs to visit the Auza.Net booth at the Upper Ground Floor of the Island City Mall on July 23 to 27, 2008. Please bring your company logos and pictures so these can be put online. You may also email company details to info@boholbiz.com following the instructions in http://www.boholbiz.com/.
