		<description>You also mentioned the need for a customer database. If a client does not have a customer database (many do not) we work with them on a one-on-one basis to help them create one. We have several tools (email importer, customer sign-up sheet, twitter integration, among others). We are also launching a viral coupons feature in the near future which will help to accelerate the growth of their local, permission-based customer list.

Your suggestion about a GPS / Mobile option is an interesting one, thanks for that, Allen.</description>

		<description>Great article, Allen, thanks for taking the time to cover us.

Those are some good questions you raised in the article and I&#039;ll address each of them.

Like yourself, we were actually skeptical at first of our own pricing structure. However in testing the service with our first set of clients, we saw an average local customer redemption rate of 14%. 

If a client of ours is on our smallest plan ($99 per month), and if you assume they ONLY use 1/3 of the potential size of their customer list, they will see a 3.5 - 8.4 times Return-on-Investment. That, plus the fact that we provide real personable client service &amp; support and are always upgrading Bluesky Local with new features.
