Dear Akron Business Owners & Residents,I’m thrilled to introduce CommunityLink 330—a movement built to connect localbusinesses and residents in a simple, affordable, and effective way.Many local businesses are struggling with rising advertising costs, making it harder forthem to promote their services and connect with the community. Traditional ads areexpensive, and social media marketing often gets lost in cluttered feeds, forcingbusinesses to spend more just to be seen. As a result, residents miss out on valuable local resources, services, and opportunitiessimply because businesses can’t afford high-cost visibility. Without an affordable wayto reach their audience, both businesses and residents are losing access to essentialconnections that strengthen the local economy.The CommunityLink 330 Platform changes that. This platform organically buildslasting connections—giving businesses the exposure they deserve without expensivemarketing costs and providing residents a one-stop, convenient local resource hub.Whether you're a business owner looking for cost-effective advertising or a residentseeking trusted local resources, CommunityLink 330 makes both possible!We hope you will join the Movement!Thank you for being a part of this vision—your support is what makes it possible. I’mexcited to help local residents discover more connections, services, and exclusiveopportunities while also empowering businesses to grow and thrive in our community.Let’s link up, Akron—this is just the beginning!Best Regards,AmandaFounder, CommunityLink 330Amanda Lynne

Traditional Advertising is Fleeting—businesses pour money into short-lived socialmedia campaigns, competing for attention in a world of cluttered feeds, changingalgorithms, and rising costs. Once the ad stops running, visibility vanishes, leavingbusinesses scrambling to start over, and pay again!At CommunityLink 330, we challenge this outdated approach with EvergreenAdvertising—a strategy that keeps businesses visible year-round, without costlyrenewals or unpredictable algorithms.Someone having 15,000 followers or thousands of views on a post doesn’t meanengagement, sales, or success. Visibility alone doesn’t translate to real connections,especially when algorithms favor trends, distractions, and fleeting attention.Why Spend More on a “Maybe” When You Can Invest in a Sure Thing?Traditional advertising is built on uncertainty—businesses spend large sums hopinga fraction of people will take action. But likes aren’t sales, and reach doesn’tguarantee conversions.Instead of throwing money at expensive ads with unpredictable results, businessescan invest smarter with Community Link 330—a platform designed for lasting, directexposure to the people who actively need and want local services.We Can’t Control Engagement, But We Can Make It EasierNo amount of advertising can force people to click, buy, or engage—but the rightplacement makes it far more likely. Community Link 330 cuts through the noise andputs businesses in front of the right audience, without the uncertainty of socialmedia algorithms.Why gamble with high-cost advertising that may or may not deliver when youcan choose affordable, effective visibility that guarantees consistent reach?This is more than a marketing solution—it’s a movement that empowers businessesand strengthens communities. Join us in redefining local advertising for the better. CommunityLink 330- The Future of Local Visibility

Why Evergreen Advertising Isn’t Common?Profit-Driven Ad Platforms – Social media giants and ad agencies make billionsfrom businesses paying repeatedly for short-term visibility. Lack of Awareness – Many businesses don’t realize there’s a better way beyondsocial media ads. Fear of Change – Companies are hesitant to move away from traditionalmarketing, even when it’s costly. The Ad Industry Benefits from Uncertainty – When advertising is temporary,businesses have to keep paying to stay visible.Comparing & ContrastingBoth Advertising MethodsEvergreen Advertising vs. Traditional Advertising Pricing

O U R V I S I O N F O R T H E F U T U R EWhen social media first emerged, it was revolutionary—abrand-new space full of opportunities for businesses toconnect with audiences in ways never seen before. It was afantastic platform to advertise on, and many embraced itwholeheartedly. But as time went on, unforeseen obstaclesbegan to appear: Negative Posts: Toxic commentary and unproductiveconversations became rampant, overshadowing positive andmeaningful interactions. Purposeless Conversations: Endless scrolling filled withirrelevant and disorganized content created a sense ofdisconnect. Algorithms Taking Over: Businesses have becomeincreasingly dependent on algorithms to determine whethertheir content was visible, often burying important posts andrendering advertising efforts ineffective. Costly Sponsored Ads: Pay-per-click campaigns andsponsored posts demand hefty investments, yet the majorityof businesses have seen minimal returns amidst theovercrowded advertising space. Deceptive Follower Numbers: Having 1k to 15k followers maysound impressive, but without real engagement, bots,scammers, and fake profiles undermine the authenticity ofthese numbers. Now, more than ever, local residents need reliable servicesand support from their community’s businesses. Buttraditional social media platforms are —cluttered, expensive,and inefficient—making it increasingly difficult to access theresources and connections they require.
