Welcome to the new Templestowe blog by Kelvin Eldridge of JustLocal

Hi,

My name is Kelvin Eldridge and I'm creator the JustLocal service. JustLocal is a unique service aimed at growing the local community. As a resident of Templestowe I felt it was now time to start a blog for the 3106 area and share my thoughts and local experiences with fellow residents and business. If something interests you please please feel free to make a comment or to contact me.

The JustLocal 3106 postcode page is a place to find businesses which can provides services to you in your local area. As more local businesses join the page, it will become an invaluable resource for the local community.

If you run a local business no matter how small, drop me a line and I'll include your web site address in the search engine. The search engine is free for local businesses.

JustLocal is different to any other service and the search engine is just one example of how we think and work differently. The search engine is limited to businesses in the local area (plus some businesses who are happy to share some of their profits back into the local community). This approach means your business doesn't compete against bigger businesses with deep pockets for advertising.

I am particularly interested in hearing from the over eight hundred locals who run businesses from home. We all know many of the local shops, but most of us know few if any of the home based businesses. Let others know you exist. Use the services of other local businesses. That way we end up with stronger local community and that is good for us and the environment.

Until next time.

- Kelvin Eldridge
