Arabs411 is an Arab-Canadian directory that is focused on the marketing of local Arab owned businesses across Canada. By marketing the Arab owned businesses across Canada, we're introducing services that are typical of any directory and adding in the bonus of keeping it culturally niche. The concept is to enable more cost effective marketing techniques, connecting directly to the population that would find the service useful. Nowadays, we don't flip through the yellow pages to find a business – instead we ask friends and family for tips or we use Google. We're all quite aware of websites like Yelp, Foursquare and 411.ca – now it's time to be more focused. The current and the next generation are usually searching on their mobiles, tablets or computers for anything they need from a great dentist to a place to go dancing. We find, when we talk to people, they say things like, ‘I wish I knew someone that understood the language' or ‘I wish I knew someone from my own background, I'd rather give the business back to my community.' Look no further, Arabs411 is here to connect you to those great businesses. Yousif Wingate and Margarita Benyammine have a strong background in sales and web marketing. Their passion for bringing stronger community ties is really the driving force behind Arabs411. Both enjoy interacting in community events, learning about great businesses and have found many hidden gems. They're looking to bring an interactive experience to both businesses and consumers that helps improve community relationships and lifestyles.
