Imagine this:

You own a Printing Company specializing in Wedding Invitations.

A couple living in Lancaster, PA who recently got engaged and wish to commence the planning process. How do you think they're going to go about searching for the perfect Wedding Planning Process?

Are they going to look in the Yellow Pages? Nope.

Are they going to look in magazines or brochures they picked up on their last trip to the grocery store? Nope.

The way they're going to search for wedding planning tips is most likely by searching on-line.

So why not list your business on a popular website that is found for countless keywords related to wedding planning? You'll be much more likely to attract that potential customer if you advertise with Practical Etiquette.
