Stand Out from your Competition with a Multilingual Business Membership

How can you benefit from having a multilingual business listing? Targeting local ethnic groups is one of the best ways to increase customers. Although most can communicate in English, many prefer to search and do research in their native language. By getting in front of them in their own language, they are much more likely to become your customer. Many different types of businesses can benefit from having a multilingual profile.

Hotel Wants More Spanish- and Korean-speaking Foreign Tourists

Most visitors to the U.S. can communicate in English, but they do most of their pre-visit research in their native language. A hotel owner wants to take advantage of the increase in Spanish- and Korean speaking visitors to his area.

Potential customers are unable to find any information about the hotel online in their native language. For businesses that want to cater to foreign tourists, it is critical that they provide information about themselves in other languages if they want customers to find their business. By having a multilingual business listing on Life in USA in Spanish and Korean as well as English, the hotel is more likely to attract non-English speaking guests than relying on just English information.

The owner can use his different language business profile page as his different language web site. He can also get a domain name and have it pointed to his profile page to use as his company's different language web site to provide a more professional appearance to potential customers. Businesses with an existing web site in one language can similarly link to the other language versions of their multilingual business profiles on Life in USA to use for different language versions of their web site.

Restaurant Wants More Ethnic Customers

A local restaurant has a good reputation among local residents. However, they rarely get any Hispanic/Korean customers, despite being in an area with a large Hispanic/Korean-American population.

They can create a multilingual business membership to break down language and culture barriers. On their profile pages, then can show pictures of their many dishes to introduce foods in Korean and Spanish. Additionally, the Spanish/Korean version of their profile page will promote them to English speakers and other ethnic groups.

Real Estate Agent Wants to Target Local Ethnic Markets

A local real estate agent feels that the nearby Spanish- and Korean-speaking ethnic communities have many people who would be interested in living in the area.

With her multilingual business listing, she can post articles about the excellent local school system and have them translated into other languages.
