For only $149 a year prepaid - half of a Full Listing - this is a cost effective way to present your full business info to your clients.

NEW Just created in Feb 2011, this listing is for the many service businesses on the 2nd and upper floors of Fairhaven buildings. Financial advisors, consultants, attorneys, accountants, and all those who have no storefront and are not seeking walk in customers. This listing provides full information for your clients and is less expensive than a yellow pages display ad. You can easily refer potential clients to this over the phone or via email. And your office phone number is hot linked on smartphones.

Includes all info in Full Listing except there is no logo, no photos and no use of Special Event & Sale mini ads. With this Service Listing you really do not need a website. All your critical information can be listed on this one page - including after hours phone number. Of course, any service business can choose the Full Listing for their business.

Just email us the info for items 1 through 9 of the Full Listing. We will get your Service Listing up immediately and invoice you.
