Have you ever tried searching in one of the search engines or online yellow pages? Ever heard that your customers found you after you have subscribed to a paid listing that claims to have a zillion traffic in their reports? Or did you ever get a fair return on a pay-for-click or contextual advertising once?

If one of your answer is no, chances are you got yourself on the wrong advertising medium. Fact is, there are more than 945,000 restaurant and foodservice outlets in the United States all trying to say the same thing as you do without ever realizing if they want their food dine in or take out.

CarryOut Directory is all about niche marketing!

We are not interested in artificial traffic that doesn't translate to customer sales. We embark on straightforward campaigns to generate real traffic from real customers who need your carryout services. Period.

If you're into carryout meals, take outs, drive-thru or curbside pickups, then you've come to the right place. Advertising with CarryOut Directory provides the natural advantage to carryout restaurants to be better found through our site.

By and large, CarryOut Directory is about "micro-targeting" customers who are looking for carryout dishes and services with the end goal to bring your customers to your website, give them good reasons to try your stuff and make it easy for them to place their orders and pay you a visit.

Since CarryOut Directory is both a customer and restaurateur driven site, it also aims to capture traffic from businesses that form part of the entire carryout supply chain making the whole carryout community a dynamic and lively melting pot for everyone to interdependently benefit from.

Why carry-out? Because numbers talk

• The restaurant industry is entering its 17th consecutive year of real sales growth in 2008. Industry sales continue to increase and its total economic impact exceeds $1.5 trillion. And with consumers now spending 48 percent of their food budget in restaurants, the industry is a major part of Americans' lifestyle;



• Restaurants continue to expand on existing takeout, curbside pickup, drive-thru, catering and delivery options to allow consumers to enjoy restaurant-prepared meals at home, in the office, or at their special events. Yet, Americans are starting to take back their mealtimes, thirty-six percent of adults say they are eating on-the-go less frequently now than they did two years ago. In addition, 48 percent say they eat in their car less frequently;



• Four out of five consumers agree that ordering out is a better way to use their leisure time than cooking and cleaning up.



• 38 percent of table-restaurant operators anticipate that takeout will represent a larger proportion of their total sales in 2008.



• 37 percent of consumers have used curbside takeout at a table service restaurant, and the figure is increasing dramatically.
