Why Should I Get a Team Cornwall E-Card?
There are six simple reasons
to get an E-Card... read below!
1) Promote Yourself on the Web!
Your e-card is a web page that anybody can access 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, from anywhere in the world. Your phone, fax and not even yourself can deliver that type of performance, certainly not for $50 /year. Along with your name, your contact info and the image of your Team Card, the e-card also features a write-up about you and your company along with your logo.
The Team Cornwall website is very popular, and over 64% of the site traffic is in the E-Card section. Your page will be noticed and read!
Did you know that there are over 2 million people with an hour's drive of Cornwall that use the Internet regularly? Imagine how many in the rest of Canada, the US and world! Your E-Card is accessible to all of them.
2) Become Known to Search Engines
The Team Cornwall website is well indexed by search engines, which means that all of the E-Cards are fully indexed as well.
Your E-Card will help make sure that people searching for you or your company will actually find you. Each word is indexed including your name, your company name, and the 400 words you use in your writeup. Now, you can't really control how the search engine will rank your page, but go to Google and search for George Assaly. You will see that his Team Cornwall e-card comes up before his own website!
"That's all good, but I already have a website... I don't need another web page".
Marketing experts disagree with the above statement. It is a widely accepted fact that the more webpages you have, the better...

3) Help People Find Your Own Website
You can't always predict how people will find their way to your website. Search engines are popular, but statistics show that more people find websites via links from other websites. Your Team Cornwall E-Card gives people a link to your website, as well as to your e-mail address.
A local company received a lead from a major US manufacturer who found their website by first visiting the Team Cornwall site.
4) Improve Your Own Site's Ranking with Search Engines
Ever wonder how a search engine can search 5 billion web pages and bring back results in less than a second? Well, the simple answer is they 'cheat'. One of the ways that search engines shorten the search is using a factor called link popularity. Simply put, the more external websites linking to your site, the higher your link popularity. If you have a low link popularity rating, the search engine will not provide quick links to your website.
Your Team Cornwall E-Card improves your link popularity rating.
5) Your E-Card is Flexible
You can change the content of your e-card quickly and usually without any cost. If you change your address, or the name of your company, or even the products/services you sell, you can revise your e-card with the new information. That is a lot more efficient and cost-effective than throwing out your old business cards and brochures.
The most important reason is saved for the end:
6) Help Promote Cornwall
You became a member in Team Cornwall because you want to be an ambassador and help promote the City. Your Team Cards help you do that, and they are fantastic conversation pieces, but how many can you realistically distribute in a month, or even a year?
Your Team Cornwall E-Card helps you promote the City even when you are sleeping. You can link to it via your e-mail signature file which gives everybody who reads your e-mail a one-click access to the Team Cornwall site. It tells everybody who sees your e-card or reads your e-mail that you think Cornwall is a good place to do business.
Your E-Card also increases the size of the Team Cornwall website, therefore increasing the ranking of the site in search engines. The higher the ranking, the higher the traffic. More traffic means more people learning about Cornwall, about Team Cornwall and yes, about you and your company. (It's a nice little circle).
Along with your Team Cards, your E-Card tells people that you are a member of Team Cornwall. It showcases you as a leader in the community.
