The Seattle Umbrella Project
Hello again, and thanks again for visiting our site and for your interest in local business. As we move closer to our launch date, we want to remind all of you that we encourage your feedback and ideas. Our business model is simple and that is to promote and support local businesses and Seattle, and to do anything we can to make them (you) more successful. On that note, we encourage you to shoot us your ideas! If you are a local business, or an individual that wants to help Seattle businesses we want to hear from you!
We are thinking of The Seattle Umbrella as a project in the sense that we are experimenting with ideas that we feel will help drive success. On that note, projects are often improved with a pool of ideas, suggestions, etc. Basically, we want to design and tweak The Seattle Umbrella project to the specifications of the people it will effect – Local Businesses!
So far our idea is basic in a sense that we are utulizing the combination of hosting a central site for people to search for businesses in Seattle, as well as using new technology and social media to maximize the exposure of these businesses. However, this is just the beginning and The Seattle Umbrella Project is still in the early stages and has a lot of growing to do. We have some exciting ideas in store, and encourage you to keep checking back, and spread the word!
So please give us your ideas, so that we can all enjoy and expand this unique, beautiful, and amazing city that we live in.
