123 Enterprises Inc. has announced a delay in releasing its www.LocalSitesFor.com,
a product promising to be an affordable and highly competitive solution
for hundreds of thousands of local businesses that currently have
little or no presence on the Internet. Originally slated to launch at
the end of October, the company has set a new target date of January
2007.
Earlier this week the company's CEO, Kelly Hodsdon, stated, "Frankly
we've been pleasantly surprised by the overwhelmingly positive response
we've received about a local search option that will actually work for
businesses." Hodsdon went on to say, "With that response has come some
new opportunities that we think could be of great benefit to our
customers and so we want to integrate those before going live."
The company could have gone forward and brought its product to market
along the earlier time line, however, it was felt that to do so would
ultimately be a disservice to both the company's clients. Well aware of
the growing number of options presented to by so called local search
engines or local portals, the company felt it would be far better to
wait and present its complete package to clients. Additionally, the
company felt that it would be handicapping its sales force of local
agents by having more to ultimately offer than would be immediately
apparent with out postponing to incorporate the additional features.
The company has added over 70 syndication partners and distribution to
over 800 sites which will be taking content feeds. These previously
unidentified opportunities have meant retooling some of the software
that is such a unique and important way of how LocalSitesFor.com works.
Hodsdon said, "It's been a bit of a disappointment to our local agents
who are anxious to get underway, but ultimately they understand that an
enhanced package is good for them and good for their clients."
