Tap into an Established $30 Billion-Dollar Industry with an Innovative, High-Demand Product!

Directory advertising is a huge market – valued at $30 Billion worldwide. The industry has been dominated for years by the “Yellow Pages”, which is typically published by the phone companies. Not only is the size of the market impressive, but it is growing and is expected to reach $38.9 Billion in 2011. In fact, some segments of the market, such as internet listings, are growing at rates of up to 30%! As impressive as these numbers are, Yellow Page advertising is expensive and outdated. Its business model has failed to keep up with the times. Today, customers demand more for less… more quality, more information, more focus… all for less money.

Open Door Directories™ offers business owners a highly targeted method to reach potential customers, at prices they can afford. Because they are informative, high-quality publications, Open Door Directories™ have a long shelf life – readers keep them. In fact, they often proudly display them, and refer to them time and time again. That’s good news for advertisers, who see the results of their advertising investment all year long.

Open Door Directories™... Creating Value for Readers, Advertisers & Publishers

Open Door Directories™ are industry-specific, high-end consumer resources that provide comprehensive information on businesses in a local area. Our annual directories – and their accompanying websites – are truly unique in that they offer standard (free) and enhanced (paid) listings to every business in a category, as well as display advertising opportunities for those who want to make their companies really stand out. The “coffee table quality” of our publications, along with informative editorial content and comprehensive business listings, creates enormous value for readers – no more searching through multiple sources to find what you want – and makes Open Door Directories™ and websites “must-have” sources of information. This in turn makes advertising sales a natural – and enables our franchisees to expand their businesses rapidly! Because we cover so many different industries, franchisees can easily choose which directories will work best initially in their area, then add more as they become comfortable with ad sales and our centralized production system. And because we are adding new categories all the time, there’s really no limit on how big your franchise can become. You can publish three, six, or even 10 different directories.

Our Proven Production & Printing System Takes the Experience and High Costs Out of Publishing

Although many people would like to become publishers, the necessary technical skills and high cost of the required equipment make it a difficult field to enter. You need professionally written, informative editorial content, well-paid graphic designers and layout artists to create the ads and lay out the publications, and expensive specialized printing equipment to produce them. These “back end” requirements are significant barriers to entry. An Open Door Directories™ franchise eliminates these payroll costs and headaches, leaving you free to focus on generating revenue quickly through ad sales. With our proven production methods and extensive publishing experience all part of the Open Door Directories™ package, your upfront costs are limited to the cost of the franchise itself! And no previous industry experience is necessary to join us!
