Success Stories: Our Hudson Valley Carl Frankel is the founder of Our Community Networks and operates (www.ourhudsonvalley.net), a thriving Matchbin Marketplace based in upstate New York. After two years of riding the entrepreneurial wave with us, Carl gained some valuable knowledge he agreed to pass along. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ We're a socially responsible company with a threefold social mission: build community, support local businesses, and help protect the environment.    Read More Matchbin Cents: Add Value with Banner Advertisements A marketplace without banner advertising is like a savings account without interest dividends. It doesn't make any cents. Luckily, your Matchbin Marketplace comes equipped with the tools to capitalize on this profitable trend.   You've probably noticed the industry-revolutionizing banner ads on your site's pages. They're similar to printed display ads, but have several advantages. First, there is no publishing cost or limit to the number of ads you can run on your site so any revenue from banner ads is pure profit. They provide a direct gateway to purchases (click and buy vs. remember and call), increasing consumer capture rates. And having popular brands appearing on your Web site lends credibility your consumers will notice.
