Advertising on a locally based Majorca directory can prove very beneficial to any company, large or small, that has a base on the island or offers services that would be useful to residents of or visitors to Majorca. Majorca is fairly large. In fact it is Spain's largest island. The population is quickly heading towards one million people, not including the transient, short, and long term visitors. Around seventeen percent of the permanent residents are non Spanish, the largest percentage for any Spanish region.

So, as you can see, there is a considerable market for foreign businesses on the island. It has several main population areas, the largest of which, is the islands capital city Palma, Portals Nous in the south west is an upscale residential marina area. Palmanova, a well known tourist destination, Magalluf is perhaps the best known resort on the island. And Soller is probably the other main area of interest.

Some of the advantages of an online, Majorca directory are, that it is available via the internet, therefore can be viewed by anyone, at any location, anywhere in the world. This means that you are not restricted to just people who are already on the island, the whole world is your shop window. This has several good effects for your business, such as potential clients can view your services before they visit or if you have a car hire company, a client from the UK can take a look at your available cars, and rates before he arrives rather than trying to obtain a rental when he arrives at the airport.

A client can also look up your services online, before arrival, and keep your web site address then go back to your details once he arrives. He can also compare rates and services with other providers before landing in Majorca.

An English language Majorca directory, is by definition, aimed at English speaking browsers, so if your company offers services that are primarily for English speaking people, then it would make sense to advertise where these customers would be looking for services.

A Majorca directory will also often have a lot of pertinent information about the island, in English, to encourage new and repeat visitors to the site. This may include a guide to each of the resorts, airport details, accommodation guides, 'how to' articles, for such things as purchasing property or registering a Spanish car. These features all combine to make a viable and cost effective window for your services, targeted at the clients you are looking for and in return helping them to find the right company for that service.
