FAQ
Why should I participate?
Your customers will appreciate finding out about the listed products which are unique and exclusive. You gain goodwill. In addition you are paid 10% of the marketing fees the artisans pay us. As a bonus you are listed in the local directory for free. The cumulative customers of all the participants who visit our site can see your listing which can result in valuable sales leads.
What types of businesses are listed in the Local directory?
All have in common targeting the Top 10% or better customers who are discerning, want the best and can afford to pay for it.
How does my listing get found by potential customers?
You will be one participant. Your customers can see your listing plus all the other participant’s listings. This cooperative effort benefits those included at the expense of those excluded who will see a drop in traffic. Let’s say 100 customers for each of 100 listed businesses visit the directory each month. This equates to 10,000 visitors total that can view your listing. Not average visitors like on most sites but a rarified segment of the total residing at the top tier of consumer wealth. These are your next customers.
Is that it?
No. We also do online marketing to drive traffic to the site which benefits the artisans and you too. This is a unique online and offline marketing or advertising program. The best news is that it is free.
Are there any fees?
No. We pay you.
How do you earn revenue?
Artisans pay a commission on sales. This is only after they complete the sale and get paid. Do you know of any advertsing where there is no up-front fees so no-risk? This is how we can pay you a commission also for sales to your referred customers.
What do I need to do?
Send in the Registration form. We build your listing from the text and images on your website. You review and request any edits. We mail you some take-one cards and a holder that you place on a counter in a visible location. It would be great if you can point this out to customers. As your customers make purchases we pay you 10% of the marketing fee we receive and transfer funds by Venmo.
