 How often have you struggled to find a good local mechanic, builder, electrician, plasterer or cleaner in Roscommon? You need somebody that will do a good job, but is local and won't cost the earth. Most of the time though, the person you really want doesn't actually advertise because it's just not cost-effective to do so. So, we thought of RoscommonFree.com, a free directory open to all businesses, charities, community groups, local amenities, clubs and bands based in County Roscommon. All you need is an email address and a bit of motivation, and you are able to make your own entry on the directory with no hidden costs. This is the best way to get a good, rich directory of businesses, local tradesmen, organisations and clubs that normally would not use the internet to advertise, because they don't have the budgets available that a larger business might have. Everybody has the same opportunity to make it work for them, and the more businesses that list contact details and information, the more people will visit the site looking for YOUR business services, so spread the word.
But how can you make it free?Well, apart from the set-up and maintenance of the directory, YOU do all the work yourself! You can register yourself, upload information, add your logo, an image and a map, all with your own login account.
The only additional work that needs to be done is the uploading of the banners on the right hand side of the page, which is not automated for security reasons, so a small administration fee needs to be charged for this. If it works well we may even add additional websites for other counties in Ireland, and an Autos or a Property version where you can advertise your house or car for sale - for free..
SponsorshipRoscommonFree.com is an initiative created and sponsored by Infiniti Mixed Media, a graphic design and web design business based in Charlestown, County Mayo.
Advertising prices are arrived at in order to make a profit, and unfortunately for a lot of media this is the main goal, rather than actually advertising your business effectively and to the right people. By making it free, the sole purpose of the directory is to promote and advertise business in County Roscommon on the web, and hopefully that will make it work better. To think local but act global. We would like RoscommonFree.com to give business in Roscommon a boost, and encourage business people who wouldn't normally choose to advertise on the web to give it a try and see what feedback they get from it. |

There is no limit to how often you log in or even how many entries you add (for example:- you might change weekly prices in your listing), as long as they are all genuine businesses or groups, and they are all based in County Roscommon.
We work with web promotion and advertising media every day, and one of the problems we notice all the time is the cost. Advertising is generally expensive, but it doesn't have to be.
