Is your oreganization ready to stand out in the Quad Cities market?
Sharing the Mississippi Rivers, the Quad Cities encompasses cities and counties in both Iowa and Illinois, and comprises a vibrant community of 400,000 people.
The Quad City metropolitan area is names after the following four main towns:
- Bettendorf, Iowa
- Davenport, Iowa
- Moline, Illinois
- Rock Island, Illinois
We started collecting Quad Cities domain names because we were entranced by the area’s natural beauty and wanted to develop a business promoting the area.
Geo-specific domains are becoming the go-to destinations for a variety of industries, including travel and tourism, as well as local business and media.
Online advertisers are beginning to recognize these sites as way to market their products and services to targeted audiences.
According to a September 2007 eMarketer report entitled, "Local Online Advertising: Measuring The Market," the research firm projects that local online ad spending in the U.S. will reach $2.9 billion in 2007, up from 12.1 percent from 2006 when it measured $2.1 billion. By 2011, those figures will be $7.8 billion and 17.7 percent, eMarketer projects.
The expected increase in localized, online advertising provides the owners of these domains with the ability to capitalize on the trend, and generate significant return on their investment.
