Before we get started, just a little background on Cole Information. In 1947, Jack Cole created the Cole Directory. The “Blue Book” is the original criss-cross reference directory, a standard tool for business and government. Today we continue this tradition of innovation through products like Cole X-Dates to provide small business owners this searchable online database of addresses and phone numbers that allows them to target consumers and businesses in their own neighborhood.
In addition, we think small business owners are most successful when you have support. That’s why we created an online community called Cole Community, where with articles, a blog & other content including past webinars we think is interesting & is beneficial to small business owners like yourself. We invite you to take a look around, check out the site & use it as a resource for your needs.
