Are you an expert in your industry? Could you give advice to your customers, community, country or the world on the products and services you sell? Have you every written a column for a newspaper or magazine? Whether you have or you haven't, this could be a great opportunity to showcase your business while helping others to make wise decisions. Over the next month, Advertising In Focus will be launching a new online Magazine website for Calgarian's. The focus will be on what the old west or at least what Calgary was like before we grew to big for our britches. Don't get me wrong, we live and work in one of the finest cities in the world, but we have lost something. People helping people, at one time you could walk down the street and a total stranger would say good morning. Now if you are lucky to make eye contact and perhaps have someone see you smile it is a good day. In the news all we hear is bad news, so soon "Howdy Partner" Calgary's On-Line Friendly Magazine will hit the internet and it will be filled with useful advice and good news. Three very important points to make about this on-line magazine is that it is environmentally friendly, doesn't contribute to the litter problem and most importantly it is written by people like you.

Now here is what is going to make it work. I am looking for business leaders like yourself, to write monthly articles about topics such as Real Estate, Mortgages, Investments, Fashions, Renovations or anything else that can help Calgarians make it through these tough economic times. If you are a photographer, that's great because pictures would be nice too. In exchange for your commitment, Advertising in Focus will provide you free advertising in the issue that your article appears in, including a link to your website. We will drive the traffic and generate a return through selling additional advertisements at a very reasonable cost. After all, nothing has to be printed and no paper will be used. Together we can weather the storm, the rest of the country can have a recession if they want, but let's pull together in the spirit that made Calgary what it is today and run the recession outta town.
