We've grown by nearly 100% since last year!.The growing popularity of the Ottawa Seniors Website and Services Guide means that this year's guide will be approximately twice as big as last years. The new guide will have close to 1000 services listed in it, making it an extremely useful tool for local seniors. This year the printed guide will also be made available at local Chapters/Indigo stores as well as from the website. As last year, the printed guides will also be made available in the various branches of the Ottawa Public Library, a popular spot for seniors. This makes for a very unique and economical to get your business in front of the many seniors in the area and keep them there for at least a year.
As you are already listed in our online Services Guide, you are eligible to be listed
in our printed version as well. This gives you an extra opportunity to reach the
thousands of Ottawa seniors who are not yet online and may never be.
Many seniors still prefer to have a hard copy that they can read at their leisure and
have it sitting handy next to their phone. The style of the book will be similar to last
year
with a convenient ring binding so that the book can be laid open and remain flipped open at
any page.
As a small business I need to be very careful where I place my advertising dollars. I am pleased to say that I have had more response from advertising on the Ottawa Seniors website than from advertising anywhere else - and at a much lower cost! I always refer to this site and I guess a lot of other people do too.

Very simple …..
Please first go online to the Services Guide and check out your listing to make sure it is up to date and then choose one of the following 6 options no later than January 31, 2006. On February 1st we will extract the data out of the online guide which will be used for the printed version, so there will be no changes or inclusions after that. If you miss the January 31st deadline, you be out of the picture till next year. Ottawa area Seniors will be looking to your competition for their services.
