This seems really cool. I imagine there is a large audience out there of people who keep hearing they should get more involved in social media but have little to no idea what that really means or how to go about doing it. I think this could really strike a chord with small business owners - the one challenge would be finding these people who may not be as web saavy - but I don't think that's too hard of a problem to overcome.

I don't know if "Eyes and Feet" really makes sense as a name for me, but I'm not sure if the "perfect" name is really a big deal.

Thanks. Yes, finding them will be a challenge - but we think that can be addressed, one step at a time. Our first tagline was "Eyeballs & Footfalls for your Local Business". And we thought, EyesAndFeet was 'earthy' and related to the promise. But, like you say, the name's not too big a deal.

The tagline makes the name make sense. When thinking about the name it seemed like it should be relevant but I just couldn't put my finger on what it was trying to conjure up.

Putting it rather crudely: get your customers online through social media (eyes) and then get them through the door (feet)
