Firepole Marketing is an incredibly useful resource that promises to turn every non-marketer into an expert marketer. If you are a business owner or are on the verge of starting your business then there is a lot useful information and ideas that Firepole can offer you.

Firepole is currently working on a very interesting survey through which they intend to collect real data pertaining to semi-local businesses, who have business activities both locally and remotely. Businesses that not only have customers locally, but also leverage the internet and other technologies to reach out to customers in far away areas.


This website is owned by two expert consultants and coaches, Danny Iny and Peter Vogopoulos. Both these experts are on a mission to help every small business owner achieve his/her goals by providing marketing tips, ideas, workshops and the right information. Danny is a regular guest author with us who has also generously contributed to both our eBook projects : The Art Of Blogging Debunked and Exploring Game-Changing Tactics of Online Marketing. For this survey, Danny and Peter are closely working with Matt and Adam Toren, the entreprenuers behind Blogtrepreneur.com.

"The survey is meant to gather REAL DATA about businesses that are diversifying their income to that some is made locally/in-person, and some is made remotely/online. This data will help people who want to make this sort of transition understand what is REALLY involved. There's no offer here, and nothing for sale – we just want to gather the data and make it available to the community.”

What exactly is the survey about?

This survey aims to answer questions like:

What do semi-local businesses focus on?
How do they balance their various business lines?
What proportion of their business is local and what proportion is independent?
How much money do they make?
Do they have local or virtual employees?
How much money did they invest to achieve semi-local status?

“Answers to these questions will be indispensable in helping all of us better understand who makes up the community.” shares Firepole Marketing. So any one who owns semi-local business or aspires to own one someday can make good use of this information.

According to their press release “People who complete the survey will get access to the summarized survey results 30 days after the survey is closed. They will also have the opportunity to be recognized (with a link to their Twitter page or website) in an upcoming post about the survey results at FirepoleMarketing.com.”
