Automatic Evelyn
Exciting, Ground-Breaking Application for the Entire World Wide Web
- What would you call a "one of a kind" record-keeping application for the #1 indoor recreational sport in the USA that is comprehensive, yet simple to use?
- And, what if this application worked for you as a "Virtual Web Developer" -- which is to say that all you have to do is feed it basic statistical data each week, and it creates websites for you, and then goes out and publishes these websites on the Internet, all by itself?
- And what if this same application could take your separate business product, your service, or even your brand name, and perform relevant advertising to millions of people across the world on a weekly basis?
The potential of this product is phenomenal for any business that has a message to deliver to the public on a large scale. Contact North American Bowling to learn more!
