Idaho Web Company publishes TellAway, an online business directory for businesses located in the State of Idaho. The directory was originally launched as a source of support for our Alumni Headquarters websites.

For a small annual fee, local businesses could be listed in our online directory at tellaway.com and we promoted their listing and/or their website with text and banner ads on our local alumni websites, kunakavemen.com and melbamustangs.com.

Connecting TellAway to our local Alumni sites built local exposure and offered greater value for our listing customers by allowing them to sponsor 3 locally focused websites for the price of a single listing. We continue to offer this value and a whole lot more.

Today, TellAway is as comparable to an online Chamber of Commerce as it is a business directory because of its’ hyper-local focus on promoting local businesses to local consumers and just as important, TellAway has made several community investments on behalf of our directory customers.

For example, in 2006, TellAway was used as a way to raise financial support for the Melba Cottage Library. The small community library could not manage to maintain heat or phone service without immediate help. For a limited time, Idaho Web Company donated $50 for every customer that listed their business or renewed their existing listing in TellAway. Thanks to this effort, we were able to donate $400 to the library on behalf of our TellAway customers and Idaho Web Company.

In time, our TellAway customers would also enjoy having ads on our community news websites and receive a free ad in our new newspaper, the South Valley Press as we went on to publish a printed version of the local business directory in our new paper.

As you may have read elsewhere here on our website, publication of the South Valley Press newspaper was discontinued, but we are working to bring the paper back into publication sometime in 2009. In the meantime, we continue to publish your community news and offer free blogs on southvalleypress.com.

Our goal is to bring local businesses together through TellAway and the South Valley Press in support of community both on and offline.

Already a feature rich web directory, TellAway is currently being upgraded to offer our customers even more value, and be even more user friendly for the end-user. If you own a local business, particularly in the Treasure Valley area of Idaho, please call to learn more about why now is the absolute best time to list your business in TellAway.
