Why are you doing this for free?

I will tell you this has been a problem, most merchants think if
it's free, there has to be a catch.

There is NO catch. It's unfortunate that most business owners
have been so abused by people trying to sell them something
that they have developed an attitude of total mistrust.

I just had this idea about helping both consumers and businesses in the
Maple Grove area so MapleGrove-MN.com was born.

I've beening trying to do this since 2003, but the local merchants
didn't see my vision back then.

I’ve also been listening to my clients complain about the high cost of other
types of advertising so I thought let's do this! Of course this costs
you nothing so how bad can free advertising and new customers be?

However this is a potential profit in this for me. You can upgrade your
listing, which provides you with a lot more options to grow your business
online and it gives your prospects a lot more information about you
and your business. But this is optional and we don't ask for any payment
information with your free listing registration.
