Sam’s Club (Walmart owned) is now selling search engine marketing and pay-per-click packages. This sounds a little crazy but it is happening. They have selling anything from appliances, office supplies, and jewelry to small business and is now expanding to is online marketing services. For only $25 a month, Sam's Club will work to improve your site’s ranking on search engines, and for $50 a month a company can get pay-per-click advertising services. Sam's Club also offers Web site design and e-commerce services.
I believe Sam’s Club’s LeadConnect (they are reselling Innuity LeadConnect) offers McMarketing for small businesses which does not have the time to do search marketing themselves and sees an easy $25 per month payment plan for their site as an alternative to the Verizon Superpages and other pay-per-month services. Not sure if they include monthly AdWords ads or locally targeted advertising.
What’s next? Turn key "Social Network" solution from Sam’s club for $50 a month? How about off-the-shelf downloadable "Persona" to help design for 99cents each, cheaper than iTunes?
