Coming soon: Seychelles’ first online business directory.

iMedia (Seychelles) Limited, has announced plans to launch the country’s first Online Yellow Pages Website in July 2007.

The launch will coincide with the delivery of Seychelles’ 2007/08 telephone directory.

iMedia is the local advertising company contracted to publish and supply the new Seychelles telephone directory for the next five years.

“The online directory will be updated on a daily basis so as to include new customers as they are added by the telecommunication operators,” according to iMedia’s General Manager Gilbert Lebon.

A spokesperson of the Chamber of Commerce described the move as “an exciting marketing opportunity for local businesses and organisations to advertise and promote their brands, products and services.”

The service will combine telephone number entries from Airtel, Cable & Wireless, Intelvision and Kokonet.

iMedia’s Project Manager, Elaine Suleman says, “this will be a valuable search engine for customers, but more importantly, it will serve the needs of new businesses that start operating after the directory is printed.”

Local businesses have until 15th January 2007, to forward their existing yellow page facts such as name, address, contact details and website information to info@imedia.sc.
