Goal

Provide a cost effective listing service for all enterprises based in Echuca Moama and surrounding regions, and promote our facilities to locals and visitors.

The perceived ' value ' of this site depends largely upon regular contributions in terms of usage, support, and promotion by local business / public services entities, community groups, and the wider Echuca Moama community.   Echucaweb.com.au creates local community communication, belonging, local knowledge, local shopping behaviours, growth, wealth, and sustainability for all Echuca Moama and surrounding region entities.

Why be involved with Echucaweb.com.au?

Echucaweb aims to attract revenues to listed enterprises.  The following is not rocket science ... statistically, money spent with local business entities, public services entities, and community groups will return approximately 4.5 times to the local Echuca Moama community.  If Echucaweb.com.au can change local shopping behaviours, this will support local sustainability and economic development.  Shopping out of town 'white-ants' this opportunity.

Benefits

Echucaweb.com.au offers business enterprises an opportunity:

•    for an internet presence in Echuca Moama, particularly when phone book listings are not current,

Echucaweb.com.au provides the ' traditional shop-front ' for many home-based businesses that could not otherwise afford the marketing costs associated with promoting their enterprise.

Echucaweb.com.au entry costs have been deliberately kept low so that all enterprises can become a part of this Directory.

Competition
Echucaweb.com.au is well aware of many competitors; not only other internet directories that have materialised in the last few years, but also tradition sources including National Enterprises that have moved from paper-based formats to internet-based listing services.  Why Echucaweb.com.au?  Echucaweb.com.au is truely local and provides a cost effective service.

Where to from here?....
The intention is that Echucaweb.com.au will remain the key directory for Echuca Moama, and to complement this in the future; a portal site will offer cheap low cost internet-based advertising opportunities for local Enterprises.  Through Echucaweb.com and Echucaweb.com.au a virtual vibrant community and business entity will be created.
