MerchantCircle is doing something we hear about almost daily on the internet and more so in Malaysia. How do we provide small businesses with valuable and reasonable internet services to empower them to compete in a global economy ? MerchantCircle says "mafia like" tactics of these massive and slow Yellow Pages companies are pretty passe right now and from what I've seen, they are giving small businesses some sort of Personal Start Page (non Ajax though) with a lot of nifty add-ons like web presence + search marketing + CRM tools (newsletter, blog)" and Search Engine Watch (Greg Sterling, Screenwerk). I'm sure they will do just fine.
Consumer behavior is moving online with an always connected environment. The Local Internet is beginning to deliver as more than a critical mass of Local consumers are on the Local Internet looking for Local Merchants. From SMS search with www.4info.net to local news from www.Topix.net to rich local data from Yahoo Local and Google local, consumers are finding a better experience online---and now that better experience is accessible. Advantage number 1 is about to end.
MerchantCircle is led by an experienced team and funded by investors who share our vision and believe in the power of local businesses. Our backers include Rustic Canyon Partners, Bank of America Ventures and Disney's Steamboat Ventures, who each bring their specialized expertise to help us develop and improve your MerchantCircle experience.
